China, they add, will win IF: 1) the Central Government arms the whole peasantry, whose Communist leanings it mistrusts; 2) the Kuomintang-Communist pact holds; 3) Russia continues to send substantial aid to the Chinese; 4) the U. S. puts an embargo on iron, oil and planes to Japan; 5) England and France do not make a deal to dismember China, as a means of blocking both Japanese imperialism and a possible victory for the Chinese Communists; 6) China does not become another Czecho-Slovakia or Loyalist Spain...
Hollywood was the scene of another rewriting of the Declaration of Independence. Film Director Herbert Biberman, shooting a picture at San Pedro Harbor, watched a boat loading scrap iron for Japan. It occurred to him that it takes something besides bandages for China to fight scrap iron for Japan, and that the peaceful artisans of Hollywood have most to lose from the world rise of militarism and dictatorship. He talked with Actors Melvyn Douglas and Edward G. Robinson. They all talked with Clark Eichelberger, a League of Nations advocate and chairman of the Committee for Concerted Peace Efforts. After...
...iron is now hot. Attacks on the Social Security Act, and more particularly on the unwieldy reserve fund which is already accumulating, have built up the all-important political atmosphere.

A swirl of the dark current and these few strands, looking grayish in the gloom, drift away, leaving the head completely scalped. From the bottom of the chamber sprouts a sticky brown-black beard which...
...fierce, misshapen reptile--possibly a Dodatmor throwback--slithers up to the window and stares maliciously at Vag with evil eyes. He opens his well-toothed jaws and measures the distance to Vag's head. There is a metallic crash as teeth meet the iron skull. Vicious fool, you cannot get Vag. See, Vag does not even blink. This is mere phantasmagoria compared to The Four encountered on The Bottom. They were truly fearsome, especially to one numbed with the icy breath of the Great Fear, one who cannot fight back. The Four had come at him--zing, zing, zing, zing...
