Mukden. As unobtrusive as a prestidigitator sneaking a rabbit into his hat was Japanese General Shigeru Honjo last week in Mukden, the capital of Manchuria.

...Wales, the earnest Duke of York and Prince George peered over the edge of the Royal Gallery. A greenish mortuary light filtered down from the high ecclesiastical windows. It touched Chancellor Chamberlain speaking with one hand on the Budget Box. It raised pale gleams from the immaculate top hat and glittering monocle of his brother, Sir Austen Chamberlain, who nodded solemn agreement from a Tory back bench. That monocle was a symbol.
