...dared to claim that they, not Nanking, represent the true Government of all China. Hurling defiance at Generalissimo Chiang they announced that their army will be led by General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb 22. 1932, et seq.) What is left of the Old 19th, brought up to full strength by new recruits, will fight under General Tsai. More important, the new Fukien Government has as its "brains" that amazing man of South Chinese politics, Eugene Chen. It was he who provided the potential menace to Nanking...
Throughout the tour, little has been said of the Laymen's Report on missions which raised deepest theological questions, such as whether or not Christ should be proclaimed to the heathen as God (TIME, Nov. 28, 1932 et seq.).

Italy has the nearest thing to a nation-wide planned economic system, the Mussolini "Corporative State" (TIME, Nov. 20 et ante). In the Rome of the Caesars Communist Litvinoff will be welcomed and understood, but Italians were ready to bet their black shirts that Atheist Litvinoff will not be received in the Rome of the Church...
...been working in Hollywood and is just making his bow on the Broadway stage. Sly Polemist Woollcott (The New Yorker), who relishes a good mystification, must have enjoyed inserting that bit into the humorous murder show he has written with famed Collaborator Kaufman (Of Thee I Sing, et...
