Soviet newspaper readers last week were bug-eyed at a trial in Manchukuo which seemed to them as deliberate a miscarriage of justice as the Moscow Old Bolsheviks Trials must have seemed to Manchukuoan Emperor Kang Te, Japan's bland puppet. To Red Russians there is nowhere a more detestable body of men than the "White Guards" in Manchukuo, a group of ex-Tsarist soldiers, aristocrats and riff-raff who live just outside the Soviet Union border, expecting momentarily and scheming year after year for "the collapse of Bolshevism...
...Peiping last week girlish hearts fluttered fast as news went round that an envoy of 30-year-old Emperor Kang Te of Manchukuo, formerly known as Henry Pu Yi ("Boy Emperor of China"), had arrived from Hsinking, the Manchukuan capital, to inspect 100 "most beautiful and healthy girls between the ages of 15 and 20," who had been assembled by Chinese marriage brokers of renown and unblemished reputation. The envoy was performing this agreeable duty because the Emperor, whose present union with the beautiful Empress Peng Chi has not been blessed, is looking for one or more sturdy concubines...
...descendant of Manchu Lords who marched from Manchuria to conquer China three centuries ago. Today he is a Japanese puppet but he also rules the land of his Manchu forefathers.

Relations Ruptured- In jittery fear lest Eastern Asia be plunged into a great war by the fighting begun last week, the more prosperous subjects of His Imperial Majesty Kang Te hastily fled from Manchukuo this week to China until all transport facilities were crushingly overtaxed. In Harbin, the Russian metropolis of Manchukuo. which teems with both White Russians and Red, furious quarreling raged between Japanese-Manchu officials and Soviet Consul General Mikhail Slavutsky. He refused their demand that...
...Manchukuo, which has thus far been recognized only by Japan and El Salvador, this abrupt exit was almost equivalent to "breaking off diplomatic relations"'-the traditional prelude to war. In the capital of Manchukuo, snow-bound Hsinking, the Japanese-directed government of Emperor Kang Te branded the fighting last week as "undeclared war" and seemed ready to fight at 30° below zero. In Tokyo, which was digging out from a record snowfall of twelve inches, the temperature was warmer last week than in Hsinking, but cooler-headed was the Japanese Government than the Government of Manchukuo.
