JAPAN By GLENN BABB ‘TOKYO, June 19.—Under the so- called “tyranny of the machine”| the Japanese people rest easily,/ with little disposition to revolt. The machine has brought them | new life, to many as individuals, | to all as a nation. It has made | them one of the industrial leaders, | one of the great powers, of the twentieth century. So they have | welcomed any yoke it may Jm\n imposed. ‘This is due in part to their na- tive docility, born of ages of rigid social regimentation. The coming of the machine age to the ancient East found a people ready trained for its disciplines. ‘Then, too, Japan has escaped in the main the worst scourge of the machine. Long Thours, meager wages, unsanitary working condi- tions—all these the more than 2,- 000,000 - Japanese factory hands have suffered, perhaps even more deeply than their occidental broth- ers—but they have escaped the worst of the waves of mass unem- ployment.
