...crest of Chungking hill-where one bloody day last May 200 Chinese were bombed to death because they thought they would be safe from air attack if they hid under trees and bushes -a gay new game was being played last week. It was called "Get the Traitors." Five papier-mâché puppet heads were arranged on the ground. Each represented a Chinese who had sold out to the Japanese. Several paces away laughing Chungking citizens lined up for chances, at 5? a throw, to try to ring the heads with evergreen wreaths. Whoever succeeded in "crowning...
Super-Secret. At Paris, in wartime, any French statesman who made such speeches as Darnley, Arnold and Chichester reeled off last week would find his career ended amid shouts of "Traitor!"

Theory of this shift would be to save the faces of Allied statesmen who may want to deal with the Nazi regime but feel they cannot do so unless some disguise-however transparent-is arranged...
...bearing war drums for American involvement in this European war also deserves great credit for bravery. Just in the past year or so has America for given those who stood against entry into the last war. Here and there a professor who was flared as "yellow" or a "traitor" between 1916-1918 is now being rehired. In the last year or so a great university has sent a widow the check for the last salary of a professor fired because he did not support the American involvement in the last European war. Most objectors, however, were broken at the wheel...
