Poland, powerfully armed, last week had 500,000 of her 1,500,000 soldiers lined up to invade Czechoslovakia. The threat of Joseph Stalin fortnight ago that the Red Army would march...

The Government even discouraged the buying of silk and drinking of tea "as these products should be conserved for export." In a fervent, patriotic convention at Hankow, Chinese political leaders of all factions again pledged unanimous loyalty to Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek.
