This week Peking celebrated the fortieth anniversary of that gruesome outbreak. With intent no less barbaric because it was more subtle, the Japanese marked the occasion by going full-out for the skins of all the foreigners in China except themselves. Instead of using long-swords and rifles, the Japanese advanced on foreign citizens and interests with high-explosive accusations, brickbats of propaganda, bolts of protocol. The campaign was far less spectacular but far more important than the local Boxer Uprising. By last week the three burning unknowns in the truly World War were Russia, Japan, the U. S. Japan...
...Witnesses were spreading subversive doctrines. When a threatening group marched to "Kingdom Hall," flimsy frame headquarters of the Witnesses, late one night, two got potted with buckshot. Next morning a mob of 2,000 set fire to Kingdom Hall. Police clapped its six occupants into jail for assault with intent to kill, later jailed two of the 2,000 for arson. Then the riots began. By the second night mobs were hunting victims. At Wells, Me., a crowd went to one man's house, demanding to know whether he was a Witness and whether he would salute the flag...
...Green started his week in Louisville, where the stagehands (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes and Moving Picture Machine Operators) had convened. Among its bigwigs are, or were: Nick Dean (known to Chicago police as Nick Circella), Willie Bioff.

...World Council, the hope of non-Roman Catholic Christians intent on church unity, has yet to hold a meeting, elect a president. Last week there seemed a possibility that this organization might never hold a world meeting. In a Europe dominated by Naziism it would have no place. This sad fact was mulled over in a pamphlet called Can Christianity Survive?, published by a group of churchmen including brisk, baldish Dr. Henry Smith Leiper, U. S. secretary of the Council. Edited by Religio-Political Journalist Stanley High, the pamphlet said nothing new about Naziism's enmity toward Christianity...
...smear the U. S., Great Britain and France. The aggressive Mexican Communist Party figures chiefly in its control of the all-powerful Confederación de Trabajadores Mexicanos (CTM), whose organ El Popular lambasted Hitler and Mussolini until the day of the Pact, now reviles Roosevelt and the imperialists intent on "dragging Mexico into war." Vicente Lombardo Toledano, dynamic leader of the CTM, has organized and uniformed a formidable army of 200,000 storm troops, drilling them morning and night with broomsticks until more effective weapons are forthcoming. In an election revolution, his troops might fight for Candidate Camacho...
