...Last week the tubby but trig little advance agent for Japanese imperialism was back in Shanghai consuming highballs with correspondents and paying all the checks. Out over China's cables went his success story of delightful encounters with leading Southwest Chinese, such as Mr. Hu ("Hongkong Hu") Han-min, eminent apostle of the late, sainted Dr. Sun Yat-Sen "Father of the Chinese Revolution...
Hongkong Hu. General Doihara, in his role of the Japanese Army's diplomatic Shanghai Lily, matched wits last week with Hongkong Hu. It is Mr. Hu Han-min's distinction that he was the late, sainted Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Chief Secretary and that today his influence in Canton is worth a $200,000 bribe proffered him last year by the Chinese Government (TIME, July 23). It would be cheaper to jail or exterminate Mr. Hu, but he is careful to live in British Hongkong, with strapping Sikh police posted day and night before his strongly...
...days later the Government proudly opened the first railway ever to pierce remote Shensi Province and connect with the 20th Century world legendary Sian, capital of China during the Ts'in, Han and T'ang dynasties (246 B.C.-907 A.D.). As opened last week the railway is the newest link in a line that strikes 650 miles into Central China, connects Sian with Shanghai, Nanking and Peiping.

Thus entrenched and resolved to sell himself dearly has lived for the past two and a half years Hu Han-min, sometimes called "China's Trotsky." The late, sainted Dr. Sun Yatsen, idolized "Father of the Chinese Revolution," relied for more than a decade upon Hu Han-min as his Chief Secretary and later made him acting Cantonese Generalissimo. To this day South China respects no living Chinese more than Hu Han-min. He has shrewdly traded on the yearning of all Chinese to get back at Japan by hurling repeated rebukes at Generalissimo Chiang for "his spineless failure...
...moment appropriate to extend the claims made in the Twenty-one Demands of 1915. Thwarted at that time, chiefly by untimely publicity, in her endeavors to establish a virtual protectorate over China, she managed deftly to acquire a strangling grasp on certain important Chinese economic interests, such as the Han-Yehping mines, as well as significant privileges in Manchuria. Her recent advances in this tremendously important region need no comment, and these are being supplemented by subterranean movements in Mongolia and Sinkiang. From these it would appear, with little exaggeration, that Japan is adopting a veritable Einkreisungspolitik in regard...
