Japan last week sparred cautiously for a new body-hold on China. The Japanese high command were with their Emperor Hirohito watching autumn maneuvers at Kyushu. The Chinese high command were, with the greatest unanimity ever seen in China, at the Kuomintang Party Conference in Nanking. The Nanking Government plumed themselves on their brilliance in having called in all silver coin and bullion (TIME, Nov. 11), thus forcing the Japanese-dominated banks of North China to declare for either Japan or China.

We are gratified by the spontaneous co-operation of Mayor Wu." On the Island of Kyushu last week Japan's Emperor was directing army maneuvers. It was altogether possible that the "Ginger Group" had seized and perhaps manufactured at just the right moment an incident only to be ended by gunfire and aerial bombs. But there was also another hypothesis worthy of the Araki Brothers in their calmer moments. When...
