...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.

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...
