I am well aware of this expiration and assure you that I enjoy reading your publication, but regret that certain conditions prohibit me from renewing my subscription at present.

What a clever hand Philip Boone must have, I said; and I turned to the pictures within to see how the other articles had expressed the spirit of whimsey which must twinkle in story books...
Obviously, Chiang's cue was to secure the return of Wang whose views are consonant with his own; and then to launch a political campaign to consolidate the Nationalists around Chiang and Wang, both of whom enjoy considerable prestige as men close to the late Dr. Sun in his last years...
