...reporting and writing soon won him an offer from North American Newspaper Alliance to do a column. His four-year partnership with Robert Kintner, capped by their American White Paper (TIME, April 29, 1940), ended with the war. In the course of a hectic service career Joe served under Chennault, became a young China hand, was interned by the Japanese at Hong Kong. There he made the most of the six months he waited for repatriation by learning to read the Analects of Confucius in the original...

...particularly new, but what interested journalists was an ethical problem: Why should Davis and Lindley, or anyone else, be favored with such a juicy, exclusive, privately profitable, official handout? Washington writers were still sore over the "American White Paper" by Joseph W. Alsop Jr. and Robert Kintner, an inside Roosevelt-aided story of prewar U.S. diplomacy which had netted its authors...
