...more Chinese names which look almost as interchangeable as rifle parts (see col. 1) and both of which were in the news last week are Wang Ching-wei and Wang Chung-hui. Their owners would make as ill-fitting an interchange as the triggers of a crossbow and a Mauser. Wang Chung-hui is a patriot, Wang Ching-wei a traitor. Patriot Wang is naive, legalistic, bureaucratic, in office (Foreign Minister). Traitor Wang is sophisticated, old-style, political, out of office (onetime Premier, waiting to become Japan's super-puppet...
...bayonet peace, not a peace of pillage and plunder, not a Japanese peace. The only peace China would accept would be one based on treaties-especially the Nine-Power treaty (signed in 1922 by the U.

Foreign Minister Wang Chung-hui and Finance Minister Dr. H. H. Kung announced they were going to Hankow, with the War Ministry slated to establish itself just across the river at Wuchang. Obviously the main purpose of such announcements last week was to impress the world with a notion that whatever cities Japanese troops succeed in taking there will always be other cities containing part of the "Chinese Government." Generalissimo Chiang, although still Premier...
...York Times, visiting Yin's capital of Tungchow, found a Yin subordinate, plump and beaming. Chung Tun-fu, in a state of garrulity almost unheard of among Chinese politicos of any complexion. Plump Chung professes to be a great-nephew of Manchukuo's Premier General Chang Ching-hui. Blabbed...
