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.

Marie's question to the Holy Father: "Would the Church sponsor her Buddhist-Catholic marriage if she gave her girl children to the Church, her boy children to the Buddhist dynasty of Annam" (TIME, March 19)? The Pope's answer, announced unofficially from Rome by way of Paris...
Buddhist who needs Buddhist sons for heirs to his throne. Last week Marie Nguyen Hu Hao appealed to Archbishop Dreyer, Apostolic Delegate to Indo-China at Hanoi. Would His Grace ask the Pope for a special dispensation? She offered the Church the female issue of her mixed marriage. Would that be enough?
