The article throws light on the crisis in Manchuria. Japan's super-patriotic Premier, Baron Tanaka, is bringing Asia to the verge of another war. He is playing fast and loose with rights of the Chinese people and defying the Washington Treaty which pledged the great powers to respect the integrity of China. The Sino-Japanese crisis involves a number of problems- incidents of Nanking and Tsinan, the abrogation of an old treaty with Japan by the Chinese Nationalist Government, the control of Manchuria by Japan, and the Russian pressure on Mongolia. Overshadowing the other problems is the Japanese control of Manchuria.

On Sunday, March 20, the troops of the victorious Nationalist army were in the neighborhood of Shanghai, China having utterly defeated the Northern forces opposing them. The labor unions of Shanghai are well organized and powerful bodies, in spite of the suppressive attitude of both the foreign and the former Chinese authorities toward them.

This article focuses on Pakistan's relations with China.

Like Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, General Mirza interprets his China policy to the West as a means for detaching China from Soviet control. U.S. must sooner or later move from its present tentative uncertainty about Asian neutralism to an explicit recognition that Asian nationalism is here to stay.

The kidnapping of dictator Chiang Kai-Shek by his former ally and supporter, Chang Hsueh-Liang, is but another illustration of the difficulty of classifying Chinese militarists according to their political orientation. To an even greater extent than in other countries Chinese politics are primarily a struggle of personalities.

A few of the younger leaders can be pigeon-holed according to their political beliefs, but the remainder fall into cliques and factions which are built almost entirely on personal, family, and sectional considerations.

This article reports on the dangerous activities of the pro-Nationalist China lobby. Out of the rebel of voices touched off by U.S. Senator J. McCarthy's wild Red charges there has emerged the imperative need for a Congressional inquiry into the irresponsible and dangerous activities of the pro-Nationalist China lobby.

This article presents brief information on the book "A Military History of Modern China," by F.F. Liu. One essential ingredient in both the rise and fall of Chiang Kaishek was his military support, the Whampoa clique. These were the generals who first became his followers as cadets at the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924-26 and who dominated the Nationalist armies for a quarter of a century thereafter. Liu, a former Nationalist officer with an honorable combat and staff record, has now given a critical and highly illuminating inside account of the Chinese Nationalist military machine--its early formation under Soviet inspiration following Chiang's trip of 1923 to Moscow; its later reorganization, after the Nationalist unification of China in 1928,

This article focuses on Adlai E. Stevenson who is having the problems and challenges of the Far East presented to him at a rate that would confuse and confound most men. Yet one gathers that the Democratic leader is getting a clear picture and that he has the subject in sharp focus. The Nationalist leader, it is understood, put forward a case for military action against the Chinese mainland, which no one here believes is possible for a long time to come, and mentioned the need for more U.S. aid in this respect. Although neither Stevenson nor his companions have divulged the contents of these two talks, except in brief outline, it may be supposed that the most important consideration, of any attempt to invade South China was not emphasized, that weight of arms is a less decisive factor than the temper of the people there.

The article presents political updates of the U.S. Back in 1942, Congress approved a $500 million credit for Nationalist China of which $200 million was in gold. This latter was transferred physically to China, designed as a reserve for currency stabilization. A year later the U.S. Treasury reported the transaction a failure. T.V. Song, Chiang's brother in law, reputed to be one of the world's wealthiest men, declined to go into exile on Formosa and is now reported to be living in the U.S.

Japan's statement to the League of Nations concerning the Tsinanfu affair, has created a favorable impression. This may well be so, for the Chinese side of the argument was badly bungled. It became increasingly evident during the first two days of the Nationalist occupation that a highly explosive situation gradually was working up. Foreign as well as Chinese civilians were handled on occasion with unnecessary roughness by the Japanese sentries on post. Once the trouble started at Tsinanfu on May 3, the Japanese military authorities took the thing completely out of the hands of the consular authorities.

This article presents the author's views on the issue of Communism in China. There are optimists who think that communism could never succeed in China. The Nationalist Government now has decided against allowing the Communists to continue as a part of the Revolutionary Party. Indeed, they have adopted the most extreme measures against Communists in all sections of the country under their control. But although Russian propagandists and agents have been forcibly ejected from China and although thousands of Chinese Communists have been killed by the Nationalist Government, the Communist cause on the whole continues to prosper, and he is a blind !patriot who denies it. The newspapers almost daily carry headlines concerning new Communist uprisings, and the butchery with which Communists were treated in Canton has not served to daunt them in other places.

Chinese educational authorities, propose to insist on four things: all private institutions, including the Christian schools and colleges, must come under government regulation; all schools shall be administered by Chinese; true religious freedom must be permitted, religious teaching and religious services will be allowed, but may not be required of any student; in general, the school curriculum shall follow the regulations of the government authorities; in areas controlled by the Nationalists.
