Since General Doihara and his Japanese Army crowd had openly threatened to hurl in their troops at any such "Chinese provocation" and since they did not hurl them last week, Chinese enjoyed briefly a feeling of exhilaration. Then Ambassador Ariyoshi bustled around, hinting to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek that the discomfited Japanese Army clique is so powerful that Japan's civilian Cabinet members have to be careful. After much haggling the Ambassador emerged to whisper to Japanese correspondents that Generalissimo Chiang, while opposing secession of the five provinces in the strongest terms, had promised a "compromise...

This move by Generalissimo Chiang resembles that of Soviet Dictator Stalin in establishing strategic...
...eventually China's 400.000,000 people will arise and overthrow the present selfish regime. . . . However if a crisis arises, Japan is fully prepared to step in and make the necessary sacrifices to establish a stable regime. . . . Only two solutions are possible-either the Nanking Government and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek must immediately institute fundamental changes of policy, or the Five Northern Provinces must be entirely separated from the Nanking Government, establishing an independent administration...
