...meet squarely the incredulity with which white men greet Japanese claims to be fighting China so that the two countries can become firm friends, even allies. In 1866 Prussia defeated Austria; in 1870 Austria was a "neutral" when Prussia fought and defeated France; and in 1914 Austria joined the Prussian War Lord as his chief ally-such in brief was the analogy from European history by which General Ugaki hoped last week to interpret to the West the faith of many Japanese that they can defeat and propagandize China into becoming their active friend, in say 50 years. To General...
...simple as Hitler's or Stalin's, today appears in resplendent uniform with the spruce, German-trained troops of "Chiang's Own" on posters splashed widely about China (see cut). From Shanghai arrived last week the best picture yet of Chiang's grim, steel-helmeted, Prussian-disciplined regulars advancing recently at Lotien in the teeth of Japanese fire which sprawled some grotesquely as they fell (see cut). Old-style Chinese troops, such as still compose most of the country's forces, would have fled in floppy straw hats, perhaps throwing away their rifles, but salvaging...

Last week at the Ministry for Propaganda and National Enlightenment, headed by Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, a bitter rival of General Goring, word was put about that "Hitler has turned down the draft text of a 'hold for release' press announcement of Dr. Schacht's resignation on the ground that nothing has been decided...
When Japan was emerging from Feudalism during the second half of the nineteenth century, he said, a certain Ito and other official observers were sent to examine the Constitutions of the modern civilized nations. They were especially impressed by Bismarck and the Prussian form of government, and also adopted some ideas from England, but after being given some copies of "The Federalist" and the American constitution they politely called it the worst. Their present document contains 76 articles, 64 of which are taken from foreign models, 42 from Germany...
