Talking about the adaptation of old materials to new times and new uses, what can be more striking than the history of “Mr. Pu Yi?” Although still a young man, this Chinese has gone through more transformations than Krishnamurti. As an infant he was elected by the famous Dowager Empress of China to continue the line of the Manchu dynasty. In 1912 he was Hsuan Tung, the boy Emperor of China. Unseated by the Chinese Republic, he received Japanese hospitality in Tientsin, and became Mr. Pu Yi. Now that the Japanese, supreme in Manchuria and with a tooth-hold in Shanghai, have created a new Manchurian independent State, Man-chowkou, Mr. Pu Yi becomes Regent under Japanese auspices.
