...submit to having at their elbows Japanese advisers like those in the puppet Empire of Manchukuo. This week Ambassador Kawagoe and Foreign Minister Chang were willing to admit publicly at Nanking that they had reached no agreement of importance and at Tokyo last week Japanese Big Business was in panic. The tycoons of the Empire do not want, just now, the crushing additional tax burden of another Japanese war. Their export business, stimulated when Japan took her yen off gold (TIME, Dec. 21, 1931) begun to find the effects of that shot in the arm wearing off. Several European countries...
...certainly likes to crack the whip and watch the serfs march by." Under the Tribune masthead each day has appeared "The Tribune platform for 1936: Turn the Rascals Out."

Street cars in Manila stopped suddenly to let crew and passengers run in mad panic one day last week. In mad panic storekeepers bolted their doors. In mad panic constables fled from main streets. In mad panic soldiers on guard at the palace, where President Manuel Quezon of the Philippines was secluded, flourished weapons against the saddest paraders Manila had ever seen. Chanting "Give us Liberty or Give us Death," flaunting the same cry on placards, 235 lepers who are normally cooped up in Manila's San Lazaro Hospital marched through the city's streets, with...
