Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article presents information about various social and political developments around the World. Japan has now declared that it means to establish a virtual protectorate over the whole of Asia. The League of Nations and the United States are warned to keep their hands of the Asiatic problem, leaving it to Japan to act as policeman for that continent. This doctrine, if accepted by the other Powers, would automatically scrap the Nine-Power Treaty and perhaps also the Open Door policy. The death of Fred Wolle, founder and director of the Bethlehem Bach Choir, which occurred on January 12, threatens the loss of a second great opportunity for hearing the works of Bach, at a time when general interest in them is perhaps greater than ever before.
