Cantonese form the majority of Chinese living abroad and these are sure to quicken their cash contributions of millions to the Generalissimo now that Canton is at stake. White correspondents in Tokyo flashed that the Japanese would have preferred a European war to the peace of Munich, since war would have completely tied British hands in the Far East. Tokyo was watching Joseph Stalin as well as Neville Chamberlain, and when the purge of the Soviet Far East Army officers got under way recently, Japan concluded she need not keep so many troops in North China and Manchukuo facing...

S., that private utilities cannot raise money publicly for expansion, that the Federal tax burden is far higher than two, three or five years...
...National Association of Manufacturers declared: "There is to be no rattling of any industrial sabre so far as the nation's manufacturers are concerned. . . . Political leaders can help along similar lines. . . ." From diehards came no such gentle reproof. Instead, many a businessman pushed the "spokesman's" European analogy further, suggested that if Government and Industry sat down to peaceful conference, Business could expect Czechoslovakia's fate...
