'''Philip Jaffe''' was an old Communist apologist, an executive in the greeting-card business and the editor of the magazine called [[Amerasia]]. He had been intimate with [[Earl Browder]], who had singled him out to influence American public opinion on the side of [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP).
He began his mission in 1934 with a magazine called ''China Today'', with a letter on its inside front cover signed "Yours for a Soviet China'' by [[Malcolm Cowley]], then pro-Communist literary reviewer of the ''[[New Republic]]''.
In 1937, Jaffe appeared prominently in a periodical publication called ''Amerasia]]. It continued in existence until 1945.
