From the snowy wastes of Northern China came missionary reports last week that Mongol hordes have now established a. new Japan-controlled autonomous nation in Chahar Province "similar to Japan's puppet-state of Manchukuo," are calling it "Mongokuo." This territory, wedged between Manchukuo and Suiyan Province, is roughly the size of Ohio, has its capital at Chap Ser. Another slice of China has thus nearly if not quite been added to the Japanese Empire...
