PUBLIC VOICE NOT HusHE1
Western Idea That There 10 Lack Of
seif.criticism in Japan 10 A..
together Erroneous.

The view is assiduously cultivated
A certain circles that the Japanese
press is one of righteousness
And that it is always q unit on great
public questions, but nowhere is self
criticism more freely INDUCED, and
many as the sands are the variety OF
eptnions-very much after our own
home fashion, East and West says
Tor instance, nothing would seem
more a subject for egotism than the
progress Of the nation in learning and
science, but long editorials are appear
ing daily crying out that educational
reform should be the great cry of the
day in Japan. Then the standard OF
living is another bone of contention.
Some hold out for the old standards
that produced the great race capable
of making the history OF the last fifty
years, but the Chugwa. Shogyo of
Tokyo, after citing European and
American efforts to raise the peoples
Aving standard, says solemnly:
But, in the Orient, the governed are
considered by the ruling classes as so
much dust. The conditions Of living
at the people are neglected Conse.
auently. the majority of them are SUI.
tafing from difficulties of living. They
ase emaciated and sickly from lack Of
Bourishment. Since Bismarck's social
policy was executed. the condition Of
Me German people has improved con.
aderably. The value OF German labor
has increased. That is a chief cause
OF the national strength of the Ger.
man people. In Japan it is different.
The strength OF the people for lack Of
proper nourishment ia decreasing.
How can we expect to win in the
struggle for mastery in the world in
competition with others? The bad
taxes and the excessive issue of con-
,ertible notes are responsible largely
In bringing about this sorry state here.
On the part Of the people, they are
rather getting reckless in this expendi-
ture. They make unnecessary ex-
penditure, %neglecting to save money
fer necessary things. We should dis
courage as much as possible the habit
Of borrowing and not paying back.
Loans for business undertakings are
al right. But loans for extravagant
living should be discouraged. Some
people shun labor and seek easy liv.
ing. How can they expect to be a
selt-governing people? How al we
win in the field of competition under
those circumstances?"
