The hope of China's survival lay in such trained men. In that first summer of the war, China's Education Ministry secretly sent students to Tientsin, Peking, other university centres, through them transmitted instructions...
...TIME'S figures were correct but badly stated-Denmark produced one-half of the bacon, one-quarter of the butter, eggs in international trade. As to self-sufficiency: in 1936, a typical year, only about 13% of Danish grain and fodder was imported-which is not to minimize Germany's future troubles in supplying that quantity.
