...Chinese Civil War seemed about to spread to Manchuria, last week,-a development of gravest international consequence, since Manchuria contains many Japanese colonists. Swarming up from Nanking, the South Chinese armies of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek were on the verge of capturing Peking from North China Dictator Chang Tso-lin, whom they expected to drive pell mell into Manchuria.
