...Netherlands Indies, Jonkheer Bonifacius de Jonge, also knew Mr. Baldwin during ten years in London where the Governor was a high official of Royal Dutch Shell. Too hopeful, perhaps, Dutchmen who fear Japan and know that Britain shares their fear now speak of "our white front" in the Far East, something as intangible as the Anglo-French entente before the World War and yet, perhaps, something equally decisive...
...close to realities in the East, it does not seem unlikely that China may in time unite with Japan against the West." Japan in Crisis by Dr. Harry Emerson Wildes (Macmillan, $2): "It is certainly a libel upon Japanese womanhood to say, as does the little red brochure bought by many tourists and entitled How the Social Evil is Regulated in Japan, that 'ten percent of the female population of all ages' is engaged in prostitution.

Overshadowing every other event in the Far East this week was the abrupt appointment of Japan's arch-Fascist and patrioteer Yosuke Matsuoka as President of Japan's most potent engine of economic expansion into China, the South Manchuria Railway.

...German furrier, died when he was 11, his mother when he was 15. At 11 he was apprenticed to a wholesale jeweler, but truant officers made him quit. He worked as a newsboy, bellhop, janitor's assistant at Columbia University until he graduated from amateur theatricals at an East Side settlement house into touring in Shakespeare with the Ben Greet Players. Neither this nor playing juvenile leads with Ethel Barrymore convinced Edward Arnold that he had any future as an actor. He tried selling insurance and traveling in wholesale groceries. In 1916 he was playing leads with Essanay Film...
