WHY POPULATION OF
JAPAN IS so DENSE
(Asia)

(ASla)
When we grasp the smallness of
Japan and the size of it's population,
we readily understand why the land is
so crowded. Japan proper is a narrow
and diminutive country. Its area of
roughly 100000 square miles is some
what smaller than that of California,
while its population is 20 times as
great. Moreover, like Italy, Japan is
chiefly country of mountains and its
arabic Land under cultivation amounts
to only some $4,000 square miles, a
farm area less than half that of the
single state of Iowa. 1t follows that
Japan is the classic land Of intensive
agriculture. Its dwarf farms are not
really farms at all in our sense of the
word, but gardens. There are no pas
lures. no barn yards, but merely little
squares OF land. now covered with
water, now filled with mud driving in
the sun, and now wildly green with
the beautiful rice plants. These little
patches of terraced and irrigated land
have nothing in common with our 1861
acre farms. In Japan the average agri-
cultural family land there are five
and half millions Of them) OCCUPY
only two and three-quarters acres
each. Only one family in ten has as
much as five acres (two cho) and over
one third of all rural families have
farms of less than one and ne-uuarter
acres. 1t is morcellement carried to a
tragic absurdity.

VICTORY SUMMONS PHOENIX TO ACTION

about to experience an unusually fav-
orable market
1t may be that the restoring of re-
turning soldiers to their former posi-
tons would necessitate removing from
those positions those who succeeded
them This would be unfortunate, and
should be avoided if possible. But of
the two-the former occupant who, for
a year or more, has been risking his life
and while doing so has suffered loss
of income and, on the other hand, the
one who, but for the war, would prob
ably be occupying less lucrative po-
sition and who has therefore been
financially benefited-there would
seem to be little argument as to which
is entitled to the greater considera-
ton.
The settling down into ways of
peace will introduce problems even
more difficult than those of carrying
on the war; these problems will be of
all degrees, some involving nations
and others individuals only. Whether
the near future sees a rapid and Oh
derby renewal of peace conditions or
confusion and panic will depend even
more upon how the minor problems
are handled by the smaller units Of
population-the communities = than
upon the acts of the Peace Congress-
and the League of Nations.

cations and all other preparations
having been made. Almost every city
has been compelled TO forego public
work of many kinds which in ordinary
times it would have considered as most
important if not absolutely necessary.
Such cities should not rest content
with merely knowing that such work
should be done and will be done just
as soon as men are available and
funds are no longer needed for war
purposes, but they should direct their
engineers to perfect their plans and
other preparations as though it were
intended to advertise for bids or break
ground for the work tomorrow.
