There is only one piece of news about China which the remainder of the world would be much interested to hear: that China had at last stiffened her backbone and was going to fight Japan. In the past six months the Japanese Government has shown a marked tendency to modify its truculence, and in the past two months the Chinese Government has begun to show itself astonishingly bolder. Drastic censorship in both Tokyo and Nanking has delayed and blurred this greatest Far East news story. By last week, however, it seemed clear that the present which her bantamweight Premier & Generalissimo...
...strangely assorted soldiers he has rammed some rudiments of Christian conduct and morality. Privates are no longer supposed to cheer their officers if they announce they have sold out to the enemy for a good price and are disposed to pay a bonus all round if the troops will fight against Generalissimo Chiang. The troops are also not supposed to pick their noses, but to date it is no secret that whenever the Dictator's back is turned there is much reversion to many a nasty habit.

Listing chain stores as paying almost $7,000,000 a year in taxes, paying almost $9,000,000 in rent, saving California consumers $14,000,000 a year by underselling independents 10%, purchasing...
...atrocious savages' being shot down in fabulous quantities by plucky little bands of Rangers. Fred MacMurray is the unblenching avenger who fears nothing but a woman, so Jean Parker has to propose to him, Jack Oakle is the picaresque here who gets a bullet in the stomach, fighting the good fight. The man who put it there is that irredeemable villain Lloyd Nolan, but he gets his from Fred. It's a strong picture, and lest anyone should miss the point, the moral is aptly drawn...
