The purpose of the Dawes Loan was to let Germany hire enough hard foreign money to enable her to pull out of the quagmire...
Newswoman Jane Grant was not permitted to speak English with Japan's Puppet, had to talk to him through an interpreter who "controls" what he says. But Emperor Kang Teh did manage to press directly upon her some of his special cigarets, emblazoned with the "Imperial Orchid" of Manchukuo...
