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.

...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. . . .
