...will long ago have discovered that the photograph (credited to Keystone) you printed on p. 21, TIME, Dec. 9, was not that of General Sung Cheh-yuan, as labeled. Difficult to corner with a camera, General Sung is much younger, larger, bigger-boned. Current dealings with Major General Kenji Doihara leave him no time for such books as that carried by the real man in the picture. The book happens to be a Bible, and the man himself deserves a greater place in U. S. hearts than Warlord Sung. He is Yao Chen-yuan, 80-year-old Chinese Christian, sole...
...arrest Mr. Yin, General Shang announced that he blamed himself entirely for everything and in deepest shame would resign "because of illness contracted from stove- gas in my residence." Not to be put off with stove-gas, Generalissimo Chiang meanwhile wired from Nanking asking goat-bearded General Sung Cheh-yuan, who is supposed to be the real ruler of Hopei and Chahar Provinces, to maintain some kind of Nanking authority in North China by accepting the title of "Pacification Commissioner." This honor General Sung, who looks and knows how to act the part of a traditional hoary Chinese War Lord...
Last week Japan and the Nanking Government angled for the war lords of North China with counter bribes, appeals and threats. Japan appeared to land two at once.

It went on angling hopefully...
...ahead and prior to a Japanese armed advance seemed to lie a period of setting more and more venal Chinese upon North China's seats of local power. Of these wretched creatures Japan's favorite last week was the former Chinese Governor of Chahar, General Sung Cheh-yuan, who was cashiered by Nanking last spring, when he threatened to lead his troops against the advancing Japanese. This demotion caused General Sung abruptly to become pro-Japanese in all externals and last week, by Nanking's appointment, he was the new Commander of the Peiping-Tientsin Chinese Garrisons...
Japanese Army chiefs, to whom the Divine Emperor has all the sanctity of God, promptly ordered Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to order Editor Tu Chung-yuan of New Life punished to the extreme limit of Chinese law in cases of defamation. In Shanghai last week these Japanese orders were carried out by a cringing panel of Chinese judges, scared to death because 200 Chinese students pack-jammed their courtroom, shrieking "There is no justice in China! Death to our judges! Down with Japanese Imperialism! Long live Chinese Communism...
