Ominous seemed the fact that the Foreign Minister of the Fukien Government is notorious Chen Yu-jen (Eugene Chen), long the Communistically inclined stormy petrel of South China politics. As War Minister the new state has General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb. 22, 1932).

Most such proclamations were of course mere bluff, but the world listened to Poet-General Tsai Ting-kai, famed for the glorious resistance of his 19th Route Army to Japan's attack on Shanghai (TIME, Feb.1). Telegraphed General Tsai, who happened to be in British Hongkong 1,600 mi. from Shanhaikwan last week: "If Chang Hsueh-liang has no intention of resisting I will take...
...President of the Congress which is "fighting passively" for freedom. Poetess Naidu had, of course, no active policy last week. An active poet is Chinese General Tsai, whose 19th Route Army astounded the world by its resistance to Japan. But Mrs. Naidu is a passive poet...
