...more Chinese names which look almost as interchangeable as rifle parts (see col. 1) and both of which were in the news last week are Wang Ching-wei and Wang Chung-hui. Their owners would make as ill-fitting an interchange as the triggers of a crossbow and a Mauser. Wang Chung-hui is a patriot, Wang Ching-wei a traitor. Patriot Wang is naive, legalistic, bureaucratic, in office (Foreign Minister). Traitor Wang is sophisticated, old-style, political, out of office (onetime Premier, waiting to become Japan's super-puppet...
...bayonet peace, not a peace of pillage and plunder, not a Japanese peace. The only peace China would accept would be one based on treaties-especially the Nine-Power treaty (signed in 1922 by the U.

But when Professor Wei Chung-loh of China's Ta Tung National Research Institute swung out on his p'i p'a (traditional guitar of the ancient Chinese princes), they cheered...
When proper Sir Archibald arrived at Shanghai he would say no more than that he had found Chiang "well-very fit and optimistic-serenely confident of ultimate victory." What he did not say-and what officials in China's new capital at Chung-king did say-was that the fit Generalissimo had just talked to the proper Ambassador more plainly than any big Chinese had ever talked to a big Britisher...
