the highest operate honors with the

no less than seven program songs in

| farther on, Every man who buys or
builds home of his own ceases to be
potential follower of the red flag of

country assume a more sacred aspect

he has joined the solid ranks of the

whose means are moderate and who

Most of those who own homes find il
difficult to have necessary work for up

with the cost of everything else high,

ROMANCE is WAITING
westernism Dulling All Japanese
Spirit.

Westernism is dulling the japanese
spirit of romance, says None Nogli-
chi, the Japanese poet, IN an interview
described in the World Outlook. Yet
he admits that it is having vital eff
feet on japanese literature and life
YES" he said, ''it is demoeratizing it..
From carefree singing about the
cherry blossoms, japanese writers and
students are turning to think about
humanity. For instance, the rage just
now is Karl Marx. Editions of tSans-
lations of his work are being sold
faster than they can be printed. Every
where people are reading about econom-
les. about social reconstruction. Maya
zines devoted to social problems seem
to spring up over night. The young
men in the universities are talking
about social reform-and every expert
ment in the West, every new theory OF
political, economic and social life Is
eagerly discussed. Tolstoi, Ibsen, Shaw
have had their day and are still hav-
ing it. Previously it was Turgeniev
All the social unrest following in the
wake of the war has set fire to the
thought of Japan. The result is bound
to show itself, not only in the liter
ature but in the life of the people.
"Yes, there is a change. People are
growing more serious You find it
in the contrast between the modern
lied cities like Toxic and the cities
Ike Kyoto, where the old life of Japan
has remained unchanged. Toxic is
the center of governmental life kyo-
to, the old imperial capital, is full OF
gardens and great temples. In kyoto
life is still leisurely and graceful, and
the people are Joyous. They love to
dress and show themselves They
don't eat enough, just to be able to
dress we'll To look pretty is the one
virtue to Kyoto people They are fes'
tival folk. But in the modern cities
like Toxic, Osaka and Kobe, people
like always, it seems, under the shad-
ow Of their factories, their business.
~ poet must lament the passing OF
the cherry blossom ideal of life he
said. And | believe that while Japan
il learning science and practical arts
from the West, and translating Karl
Marx, You might well learn of us some
OF our old primitive joyousness and
festival spirit, and plant cherry trees
along your gray streets. But for us
the new spirit is perhaps healthy
sign. Through this interest in prob
lcms of the industrialism that is press
ing us ever more closely, life in Japan
may cease TO be so romantic, but 1t
will becomc'm more real"
