says Frederick Courtland Penfield
in his introduction to East of Suez,"
"the stay-at-home millions would know
little of the strange and interesting
sights of this beautiful world of ours;
and 1t surely is better to have vicari-
ous knowledge of what is beyond the
vision than dwell in ignorance of the
ways and places of men and women
included in the universal human fam
ily."
Mr.. Penheld needs no introduction:
his previous book, Present Day
Egypt did that for him better than
any word now. but the fact that he
was Consul General in Egypt and
knows the East as do few Americans
will give added weight to these further
writings 1t is a book of journeyings
through Ceylon. India, China and
Japan Something of a sermon runs
through it-an address to America and
Americans, whom the author indicts for
commercial drifting, for gross neglect
of the one great trading market OF the
world that is now open to them.
From the time he passes the Suez
canal till his arrival in China or Japan
the travelling American finds few traces
of anything American: he finds no
product of American industry. He is
rewarded" says Mr.. Penfield. by find-
ing that the Light OF Asia is American
petroleum. but that is about the only
western commodity he is sure of en-
countering in months of travel.
