These three countries form an uninterrupted strip of territory stretching 800 miles clear across Europe from the Baltic to the Black Sea-with Communism on their eastern borders. They could be Europe's "Bastions of Peace," interposed between the antagonistic realms of Stalin and Hitler, and last week newsorgans in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Rumania were giving great play to this slogan, "Bastions of Peace...
Japanese incredulity was based on years of painful experience in which it nearly always turns out that Chinese outsmart Japanese until the sons of Nippon bring up overwhelming force. Premier Koki Hirota of Japan has just had his Cabinet publicly spanked by the Privy Council for having baited Stalin and made a pact with Hitler (TIME. Dec. 7).

Nearly all Japanese were entirely convinced that what...
...would have been nonsense. The position of each of these two Chinese was of such eminence and power that a few million dollars more or less was not to them what it is to the Duke of Windsor.

Kidnapper was "The Young Marshal," Chang Hsueh-liang...
Thus Russia will continue, ruled by a small minority of Communists (less than 1 ½% of the population) whose rigid party discipline makes them cogs in a machine of which J. Stalin is the Great Engineer. From now on Communist organs will call this Democracy. An audacious touch in Moscow last week was for Intourist guides to tell visiting foreigners: "Our new Constitution is a million times more Democratic than any other!" The new and adroit Communist Constitution, indeed, almost entitled J. Stalin to rank with the immortal H. Dumpty of Through the Looking-Glass who boasted, "When...
