While the pen of Wu traces not seldom such poems as are expected from a Chinese gentleman, Chang scorns a lighter toy than his automatic pistol. He has been known to remark to a passing stranger: "Your face seems not unfamiliar. But I thought I ordered you beheaded last year...

But seldom has he done or said anything more astonishing than when he proclaims to the world his willingness to rest the salvation of his soul upon the ethics of big business. And seldom has there been a more revealing confession of faith than this naive acknowledgement that whatever is right, and that the President of the United States is content to accept as his own faith and the faith of the American people the spiritual implications of modern industrialism...
