Two : THOSE GENTLE JAPS Ambassador Hirosi Saito, who is a good fellow and a clever diplomat, and fraternizes easily with our Washington correspondents, is mildly grieved because Americans “do not understand Japan.” He { laments, in a recent interview—or maybe | it was a cocktail hour—that his people are | so often represented in America as an “ag- | - | gressive nation.” The fact is, he insists, that Japan is one of the gentlest and most self-effacing of nations, and her val | policy is to promote peace on earth andj good will to men. How can we so mis- understand her? No doubt the Buddhist and Shinto priests are gentle. And the people, in’ their picturesque towns and villages, as; portrayed by Lafcadio Hearn, are almost uniformly gentle and charming. The dip-! lomats, too, with their urbane assurances, seem to fit into the picture. Unfortunately the old Samurai gang, who seem as bold and. ruthless as our western robber barons of the Middle Ages, don’t fit so well. If the natural spirit” of ; Japan is gentle, the militarists, seem to ! have the nation by the throat. It is they} who shape national policy, and_ build armies and navies, and copy the worst ex- |" amples of occidental civilization, and start’ gobbling up China and defying the rest of the world. And so great is the apparent acquiescence of the Japanese masses that hardness and truculence obscure the old Japan which Americans loved.

The NRA has been supported wholeheartedly and unselfishly because it is like the measures that were introduced in war times for temporary uses. The nation’s leaders in businéss and industry who have been attending the ses- sions of the United States Chamber of Commeree in Washington have shown an- inelination to “stand by the president,” as long as necessary, but it is clear that they do not like ‘the regimentation. of industry and they will be glad when the time comes that employers and employees may return to the good old American customs of run- ning théir own affairs. Evidently or- ganized labor believes the same way. After the first preliminary features of the chamber were over a flood of con- demnation of government restrictions af- fecting business broke loose. | Seta BROS ES Part of the material for the new !
