Died. Sir Reginald Fleming Johnson, 63, onetime British Commissioner of Weihaiwei, China, tutor and counselor to the deposed Boy Emperor Henry Pu Yi (now Emperor Kang Te of Manchukuo); in Edinburgh, Scotland. Sir Reginald westernized his Manchu charge-watched Pu Yi cut off his pigtail, gave him the Christian name Henry, had his eyes treated by an American ophthalmologist despite the Dowager Empress' threat to give herself an overdose of opium if her son used spectacles...

Time & again Britain & France in the years after the War blocked such a plebiscite, unquestionably because London and Paris believed the result would be favorable to Berlin. By a supreme irony last week, Chancellor Schuschnigg had so succeeded in stirring up Austrian Christian backing for himself and resentment against the Nazi pagans that in Berlin, probably for the first time in Adolf Hitler's life, it entered the Führer's head that the plebiscite just possibly might not go pro-German...
