...picture. The same is true of nearby independent Tibet. Manchukuo is that part of what was once China in which Japan in 1932 set up as her puppet the onetime Emperor of China, whose right to a Throne is entirely legitimate. This young man. famed as "Mr. Henry Pu Yi," is the descendant of Manchu Lords who marched from Manchuria to conquer China three centuries ago. Today he is a Japanese puppet but he also rules the land of his Manchu forefathers. The population of Manchukuo. which is 95% Chinese, is being taught to venerate His Imperial Majesty Kang...

It went on angling hopefully for Yen Hsi-shan, Shansi's "Model Governor," and Han Fu-chu: Shantung's greedy Governor...
...Japan's famed South Manchuria Railway. An economic spear stuck halfway up into Manchuria, the S. M. R. was the chugging juggernaut that carried Japanese troops to their scrappy victories. Soon Hsinking, the point of the S. M. R. spear, became the capital of puppet Emperor Henry Pu Yi (TIME, March 5, 1934). Beyond that point, S. M.
