Japan last week sparred cautiously for a new body-hold on China. The Japanese high command were with their Emperor Hirohito watching autumn maneuvers at Kyushu. The Chinese high command were, with the greatest unanimity ever seen in China, at the Kuomintang Party Conference in Nanking. The Nanking Government plumed themselves on their brilliance in having called in all silver coin and bullion (TIME, Nov. 11), thus forcing the Japanese-dominated banks of North China to declare for either Japan or China. Last week Japanese Army men warned the North China banks not to deliver the silver to Nanking. Slowly...
...Shanghai's Japanese-owned stores. As panicky Chinese ran for the International Settlement an attache of Japan's Embassy declared, "We deplore this exodus. We have made no demands. We are gratified by the spontaneous co-operation of Mayor Wu." On the Island of Kyushu last week Japan's Emperor was directing army maneuvers.

One night last week a gentle breeze from the North Pacific was wafting across the two little islands and into the dragon's maw. At 4 o'clock the next morning a juggernaut of air hit, without warning, the frail little houses that crowd the southern tip of Japan...
...sparse, it is news indeed.

As a sober little schoolboy Koki Hirota was an ardent member of a super-nationalist secret society known as the Genyosha or Black Sea Society. Its leader, Mitsuru Toyama, now 78, is still politically active, head of the far more formidable...
...northern spearhead marched Japan's Sixth Infantry (from her balmy, almost tropical island of Kyushu). Wearing mittens, shawls and everything they could put or tie on, the tropical Sixth rushed at 12° below zero upon Chinese who shot first from behind the rocks of rolling foothills, then from behind the crags of higher and higher mountains as they fell back upon Chihfeng...
