...capital of Manchukuo, snow-bound Hsinking, the Japanese-directed government of Emperor Kang Te branded the fighting last week as "undeclared war" and seemed ready to fight at 30° below zero. In Tokyo, which was digging out from a record snowfall of twelve inches, the temperature was warmer last week than in Hsinking, but cooler-headed was the Japanese Government than the Government of Manchukuo.

Home from a visit to Munich, Rothermere exulted: "Under Herr Hitler's control the youth of Germany will be effectively organized against the corruption of Communism." More than a year ago he took up with Sir Oswald Mosley, vigorously pushed the Mosley "British Union of Fascists."
