...trim and whip-smart a little Japanese diplomat as the Empire could wish is Mr. Naotake Sato. In Tokyo his official rating was Ambassador to France last week, when suddenly he became Foreign Minister. Mr. Sato is emphatically a civilian, whereas the point of view of General-Premier Senjuro Hayashi's new "Gold Braid Cabinet" is extremely militarist (TIME, Feb. 22 et seq.), but the new Foreign Minister quickly made an adroit move.

This crisis crystallized in the assassination of one of mild Japanese War Minister Senjuro Hayashi's senior general staff officers (TIME, Aug. 26) and the emergence of new and more militant War Minister Yoshiyuki Kawashima.
