Reaching Moscow from Peiping and Mukden over the Trans-Siberian Railway last week, Upton Close, modern Oriental historian, told the New York Times correspondent : "Foreigners in Mukden agree that the Japanese attack [TIME, Sept. 28 ct seq.] was premeditated, unprovoked and carried out with extreme ruthlessness for the purpose of striking terror among Chinese forces everywhere. . . .

When the New York Worlds were bought by Scripps-Howard, all Manhattan publishers began to scramble for pieces of the late World circulation (TIME, March 9 et seq.). Last week suggestions of who got what pieces of the World pic were found in publishers' statements for the first six-month period since the change, compared with Audit Bureau of Circulations figures for the same period (April-October) of last year.
