By the length of his travels in Russia, Manchukuo and China, one feels that Fleming garnered more than his share of observation and information; for he stops to note the interesting paradox of Communism in the South of China, where he feels that Communism will never be stamped out entirely, for although it is contrary to the most powerful traditions of the sacredness of the family in China, it can never be driven out of the army as there...
