...Tokyo the younger, more fanatic school of Japanese militarists fumed last week that their Empire ought to defeat Soviet Russia first, objected that the whole concept of dealing with Nanking before Moscow has been settled is strategically and politically unsound. This Japanese younger school sees Stalin as ultimately behind Chiang and wants to make an end of half measures, but Japanese "Liberals" like the Premier see more wisdom in taking any number of delicate bites at the Chinese cherry. If now Generalissimo Chiang, should really hurl China's whole force against Japan, with Russian cheers behind him, the bedseat...
...lines, gone out of its way to give them what they asked. Example was permission to United Air Lines last month to fly into Denver (TIME, May 10). To make this new service jibe with the Air Mail Act, Solicitor Karl A. Crowley had to devise a totally new concept-that an airline is a "zone of influence" instead of a geometric line.

Lately Dr. Rhine has felt the need of a word of wider scope to designate not only telepathy...
This may be a beautiful concept of Soviet law but it has been found not to work by J. Stalin. He and his tigerish prosecutors want no Soviet judges trained up that way, and the Dictator is on his way to get results, even if he has to break every Old Bolshevik in the country...
