...Panay's survivors was ordered personally by Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto, leader of an especially notorious Japanese military clique. Colonel Hashimoto was generally regarded as one of the heads behind the unsuccessful Tokyo putsch nearly two years ago, when Army detachments ran amok, murdered Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi, seized the Metropolitan Police building (TIME, March 9, 1936 et seq.). Afterwards 15 young Japanese officers were executed but Colonel Hashimoto, having political influence, was merely cashiered. This year Japan's need of trained officers in China put him back in uniform, and it would be strictly in character for Colonel...
...That was posed by a Chinese soldier in a Japanese uniform!" shrilled Lieut.-Colonel Tan Takahashi of the Tokyo Japanese General Staff to Manhattan reporters. "Our Japanese bayonet technique is entirely different from that and I can prove it!" Grabbing a pencil, the Japanese officer thrust, ripped and jabbed an imaginary enemy while yipping war cries with such realism that a female reporter was overcome with queasiness...
...been able to count on the navy's support in efforts to moderate army extravagance and truculence toward China. It was largely the quiet influence of the navy that saw proper punishment meted out to the hysterical young army officers who last year murdered famed Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi and captured Tokyo's magnificent Metropolitan Police Building (TIME, March 9, 1936, et seq.).

The Army is almost entirely of peasant stock and absolutely resolved that exploited and oppressed Japanese rustics shall now get their innings. In Tokyo last week it was considered more than likely that wily Stooge Baba had sold the Army some...
Other mustards with guns had meanwhile burst into the home of 81-year-old and proverbially lucky Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi. To compare him with Secretary of the U. S. Treasury Andrew William Mellon at the zenith of that statesman's fame as "The Greatest Secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton" would not be far off the mark. As Mr. Takahashi's son, who works in Manhattan, said last week, "Father was always trying to balance the Japanese budget even when we were still little children." Tall and vigorous, emphatically the Great Takahashi, this elder statesman leaped...
