...deep fastness of Eastern Asia, along nebulous frontiers supposed to divide Soviet power from the forces of Empire, battle was joined as a thousand Mongol rifles cracked and light Japanese tanks whirled into action. The fighting last week came as a grim climax. Preludes have been more than 100 frontier "incidents" as the Japanese Empire and its vassals steadily encroached toward the Soviet Union. Russia has been afraid to fight back, so Japan has found year after year. Finally and historically, Russia and her vassals began to fight back in earnest last week. This outburst of undeclared...
...which Joseph Stalin has not altogether had his way. Stubborn, the Mongols have gradually talked their Russian patrons out of many Communist innovations unsuited to such nomads as themselves. Today Urga is emphatically the capital of Outer Mongolia, not a mere dependency of Moscow.

Though the show made no attempt to rival the historic Persian exhibitions in London's Burlington House (TIME, Jan. 12, 1930), it did offer a comprehensive outline of Persian illumination from its great period of Chinese and Mongol influence in the 13th Century to its degeneration at the end of the 17th Century. It gave gallery-goers some understanding of the feeling that prompted the 15th Century Shah Ismail to lock his favorite miniature painter Behzad in a cave before going to war with the Turks; that made Persian merchants value one line of perfect script at one gold...
