...continued to tiptoe (see p. 18). In Asia practical control of North China was obtained by Japan in 1935 so adroitly and inconspicuously that it was a major Japanese triumph to have avoided producing a Man of the Year. China's perpetually harassed Man of the Year, Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, entered his most excruciating morass of dilemmas...
China's hard-pressed Premier, Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, had more of his usual bad news last week.

Orders to arrest Mr. Yin were telegraphed by Generalissimo Chiang last week to General Shang Chen, Governor of Hopei Province.
