He acknowledged the Nationalists’ right to try to block Shanghai shipping within China’s waters but protested the danger to American lives from shelling vessels this month. A late note mentions 17th century watchmakers making animal shaped timepieces.

Bulgaria prepares treason trial echoing Rajk case
Sofia November 30 Bulgaria set the stage for a Rajk style treason trial charging Traicho Kostov former Communist deputy premier and 10 co defendants with treason spying and sabotage. The indictment claims Kostov confessed to contact with American British and Yugoslav agents and plots to detach Bulgaria from the Soviet bloc and seek Yugoslav help for a coup. It parallels the Budapest case against Laszlo Rajk who confessed to plots to seize power and ally Hungary with Tito.
