says of the war situa ton in Japan.
"A remarkable thing is the surpris-
ing economy which IS observed in
every place. People are not spending
more money than is absolutely neces-
sary. Families who have occupied two
houses are closing. and two families
enter one house. No one is putting out
money for repairs, etc. To such an
extent is economy practiced that it
seems 10 threaten productive industry
and brin~ trouble upon laboring
classes. I tell them that 10 is foolish
90 do so, for while the general claim is
made that this is done for economy to
save money for the war, i'm reality it
