This article focuses on the civil war in China. According to the author, China continues to bleed in recurrent civil wars, which are as interminable as they are indecisive. Political chaos, economic distress, and the confusion in foreign minds increase with each succeeding victory. But victory leaves the situation unchanged. What Chiang and his German military experts could not accomplish on the field of battle, T.V. Soong, Nanking's Finance Minister, achieved by a flank banking operation. Nanking had to do it quickly because it is threatened by a new danger from the South where Chang Fa- Kwei, whose famous Iron Army conquered South China in the period of Borodin and Galen, has made a sudden dash into the rich Kwangtung province.
