On the eve of the first anniversary of undeclared war, observers warn the Japs may seize Hangkow but cannot profitably occupy more Chinese territory. Critics debate whether victory in China will trigger upheaval in Tokyo, with Chamberlain’s policy drawing mixed reactions and Churchill viewed as a near-impossible alternative.

It warns Chamberlain may trigger a broader European outbreak within 24 hours and notes Anglo American trade talks are at a confidential stalemate, with London delaying treaty moves until after elections.

A compact excerpt discusses moral questions from a scientific perspective. It cites a Child Welfare League of America survey of 49,272 parents showing 92 percent of wives and 49 percent of husbands answering yes to loving their mother-in-law. It includes remarks on fraud in insurance claims by Dorothy Dunbar Bromley and others. It ends noting educators’ views on job skills versus thinking skills and a University of Chicago president’s stance on thinking as job insurance.
The writer criticizes a purely thinking focused education. Citing 500 graduates seeking jobs, 420 had misspelled letters and many failed to sign names, arguing practical skills and demonstrable ability are better job insurance than what President Hutchins promotes.
