...responsibility for statements made by men who have not the courage to express publicly their real opinions." He was also quoted as saying that the U. S. had the same right to the Philippines as had been exercised by the Indonesians, the Malays and the Spaniards-the right of conquest. This set the Manila politicos sputtering. Through their news organs they demanded elucidation, comment, argument. But Secretary Hurley could not be reached. He had made off into the Igorot country.

The wasp-waisted, bandy-legged little President was shown perched ludicrously oh the Manchu Throne, bedight as Emperor of China. This cartoon, it was hoped, would "inflame the people...

From Canton in the brief space of two years (1926-28) President Chiang conquered all China. His only hope of maintaining this conquest now lies in the friendship of Marshal Chang and other Northern leaders. Last week in Nanking no dainty was too good for the Northern marshal...
