THE BABIES PARADISE
BY ADACHI KINNOSUKE

have the advantage of a Biblical
injunction, "Be fruitful and null
tiply," till very recent years; but
she has had something else. Ba-
bies have been made the text of
imperial messages. They were
not put in words merely. Both
the Emperor and the Empress
have a way of putting their mes
sages into more concrete gifts Of
ten. Today the japanese are in
creasing at the rate of half a mil
lion year. They are not think
ing of putting up bar against
immigration; although Heaven
knows we are somewhat embar-
rassed about space even as it is!
PUT let us see what the grown
ups do when the baby steps
into the green room of incar-
nation.
For one thing, the grown-ups
in Japan don't show their ad-
miration and friendliness by
treating it as a pink basket ball
and tossing it from one pair of
arms to another. They know
by their own sad experiences
that life will do that, when its
flesh is no longer so pink as it is
then. Nor do they take it for
granted in their mature knowl-
edge that the baby is con-
stantly operating phonograph re-
ceiver for sentimental gush. Here
in America some people seem to
think that shaking and rocking
and trotting and jolting and slam
ming down the windows so that
their next fiat neighbor might
not hear the music, are about the
only panaceas for an attack of
collie. The Japanese parents and
nurses don't quite take that view.
Even if the baby does cry, no one
Jumps to the conclusion that the
world is coming to an end on the
spot. 1t is allowed to cry if it
wishes to, and cry in the atmos-
rhere of philosophic quiet.

tell you, "babies don't cry
Well, they do, of course, and
very naturally; but, compared
with American and European
babies, the little ones in Nippon
certainly don't. And why should
they?
Just look at the things we
grown-ups in Japan don't do to
them and what a lot of things
we do for them!
Even the very graveyard is
for them. And the graveyard is
everything to us-I mean the
history, the tradition, the things
our ancestors did and thought,
are the sovereign scepter to our
life. We are great on ancestor
worship, as you well know. And

Tiny Majesty the Baby months
and months before its actual
appearance.
The first thing that comes
into play is our inherent worship
for motherhood. In Japan wo-
manhood is not a whit more
sacred than manhood. But
motherhood! All, that's differ
ent! Motherhood is woman's
halo.
This a young woman mission
ary from America could not un-
derstand. "Poor thing!" said she
