Interesting -- an early depiction of Japanese soldiers on the cover, ~9 months before their military alliance with Germany and Italy, and 2 years before Pearl Harbor.

Sensational book!  I think there was a lot of pro-Chinese sentiment in the U.S. during the 1930s -- Pearl Buck and all that.  Then with the Rape of Nanking and other Japanese aggression, by 1939 anti-Japanese sentiment was probably pretty strong.  But this might still be among the first overtly anti-Japanese covers.  Anybody know?

Awwww, isn't that sweet!

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that a young Sqeggs in the blue gaberdine suit, holding two bowls of ice cream, and thinking, "Doggonit, I hope she says no, because I really want to eat this ice cream myself!"
