...chronic savers of TIME throw their hands on high at such blasphemy as snipping the pages of TIME, but we announce a new game. We snip out the pictures of such notables as we feel everyone should know and present them to our guests to identify. Such red faces and stuttering! We now have about 75 pictures and we are still going strong. It's pleasant pastime for those who don't hold the pages of TIME as too sacred...

That ink is newly dry on a Japanese-German secret treaty of military alliance is charged in resounding Moscow speeches by owlish Soviet Premier Molotov and that popular eagle of the Red Army, Defense Commissar "Klim" Voroshilov. Since the Soviet Secret Service is definitely keen, Dictator Joseph Stalin anticipated months ago that the Japanese, feeling Germany to be with them, would in time pass from hesitant encroachment and frontier incidents to such undeclared war as came last week.
