...Inner Mongolia was the bloody scene of a furious contest between Generals Tang Yulin and Liu Kwei-tang, reported in dispatches to have devastated the eastern part of the Province of Chahar. But was not this, after all, their "private war"? The Council of Generals took that view. Generalissimo Chiang had neatly solved, they felt, the larger issue presented when Mongol generals under Prince Teh Wang raised the standard of Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians (TIME, Oct. 23).

It might skirt Mongolia, drive monotonously over the wind-marcelled sands of the Gobi, end in the basin of the Tarim River which drains futilely into a marsh. Part of the project was to use the futile Tarim to irrigate arid Sinkiang Province, end its paralyzing famines. To fix where the life line will...
