Next day in Amsterdam, Netherlands Foreign Minister Eelco Nicholas van Kieffens, an extraordinarily thin man with big nose, little chin, thin hair, hollow eyes, called in Japan's Minister to The Netherlands Itaro Ishii and told him that The Netherlands Indies wanted no protection from anybody, thanks just the same. But meantime Jean Charles Pabst, Netherlands Minister to Japan, called on Mr. Arita to thank him for upholding the status quo.

But innocent Harvard has too long blushed under the oft repeated charges of intellectual isolation and smug localism.

From hundreds of miles around, pilgrims travel to the shores of Hang-chow's West Lake proudly to urinate upon the iron statue of a historic traitor named Chin Kuei. In honor of China's newest traitor, Wang Ching-wei, Chinese coolies call the fat-fried crullers they munch for breakfast yu cha-wei (i.e., "May Wei boil in oil in hell!"). Last week a new honor was bestowed on Traitor Wang. Chinese in Chungking started a chain...
