...heads behind the unsuccessful Tokyo putsch nearly two years ago, when Army detachments ran amok, murdered Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi, seized the Metropolitan Police building (TIME, March 9, 1936 et seq.). Afterwards 15 young Japanese officers were executed but Colonel Hashimoto, having political influence, was merely cashiered. This year Japan's need of trained officers in China put him back in uniform, and it would be strictly in character for Colonel Hashimoto and his fanatical clique to think the best thing they could do for Japan would be to embroil her in war with the U. S. and other...
...triumphal entry into captured Nanking, the abandoned Chinese capital, outside whose walls stands the $3,000,000 tomb of sainted Dr. Sun Yatsen, "Father of the Chinese Revolution." That historic moment meant more to General Matsui than it would to most Japanese, for Revolutionist Sun spent many years in Japan, became a close friend of Matsui, who took up the doctrine of Pan-Asianism to which grateful Dr. Sun at the time enthusiastically subscribed...
...alternative to direct Japanese rule in the conquered portions of China, now of vast extent, is the installation of a new Chinese government, acting of course as puppets of Japan.

Three weeks ago, his Mickey Mouse created a minor government crisis in Yugoslavia. Last year, as "Miki-san," he was Japan's patron saint. In Russia the works of Disney are appreciated as "social satire," depicting the "capitalist world under the masks of mice and pigs." The late George V, it is said, would not go to a cinema performance unless it included a Disney film...
...great bulk of the reporting has been done behind China's lines and the Chinese do not wish to minimize their foe's might. Coverage of this war has other quixotic aspects. Reporters who are in a Chinese city one day may find it belongs to Japan the next. In Shanghai correspondents and cameramen could sleep comfortably in clean hotel beds, decide each morning which army they wanted to cover that day. But such convenience bred its carelessness and, for example, all United Press men had to be warned against foolishly exposing themselves after a machine-gun bullet...
