...against whom to unite. Only those along the coast really felt the oppression of the world powers. But now with the Japanese troops penetrating almost to the Russian border the Chinese all have a common enemy whose depredations are felt by them all.

Safety Valves. To keep superpatriotic students out of mischief, Nanking President Chiang Kai-shek organized "student battalions" last week, ostensibly for war with Japan. But numerous students were too canny to join, doubted the President's will to war. Three thousand students, most of them with little or no money, massed in Nanking, vowed that they would stay there (and perhaps starve) until the Government takes steps to avenge "China's honor...
