...Ukrainian-born Philip Jacob Jaffe, 48, wealthy Manhattan greeting-card manufacturer, who, along with Miss Mitchell, edited and published a little magazine called Amerasia, devoted to plugging the Chinese (Yenan) Communists and criticizing the Chiang policies which the U.S. State Department supported...
Idealization, Disillusion. Then Madam Chiang came to this country and she captured American imagination as few foreigners ever had, and certainly as no Asiatic ever had.

Within 48 hours of reaching Chungking, he had seen Chiang Kai-shek and was breathlessly cabling home: "Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, in an exclusive interview today, promised to ease Chinese censorship regulations on news going to the United States. ... I told him that there was increasing uneasiness in America because of the tight censorship. . . . Chiang said he welcomed such a frank complaint...
