...White House last week went Dr. Wu Chao-chu to present to President Hoover his letter of credence as Chinese Minister (Nationalist Government). Dr. Wu expressed his pleasure at finding as President "a statesman who has intimate personal knowledge of China through long residence in the country and close contact with the people." The new Minister's father, Dr. Wu Ting-fang, represented China in Washington before the 1912 revolution...
...military gov- ernor of Shantung Province under the late, great War Lord Chang Tso-lin (TIME. July 2), Marshal Chang Tsung-chang bled the people to ruin and starvation with outrageous taxes before he was driven out and forced to flee to Japan (TIME, Sept. 24) by the present Nationalist Govern ment at Nanking.

Cowed by the scowling marshal, who chews fat Havana...
...Canton was in league with the rebels, a clique of military leaders with their base of operations in what are called the Wuhan cities (see below).

Seemingly quite oblivious that he was proposing the impossible, Mr. Sun told the Nationalist Congress in Nanking (see p. 28) that China "should" raise $100,000,000 a year in taxes for his public works program, "should" borrow another $100,000,000 annually from the Great Powers, and "should" issue $50,000,000 of "Reconstruction Bonds" every twelvemonth. Thus, said Mr. Sun, China "could" raise the annual $250,000,000 requisite to carry out the following Sun Program: 1) Complete the $3,000,000 tomb of Saint Sun Yat-sen in Nanking, a project already well begun; 2) Rebuild Nanking...
