Many writer's have said that SHINES
is Jew. On the contrary, he is a
Lutheran. His father was of pure
Germanic stock. His mother was a
French woman. His wife is a
Uruguyan.
Rathenau Possesses
Distinguished Manners
Rathenau is a man of DISTINGUISHED
manners and presence His face shows
cultivation and refinement, Just as his
books and pamphlets show indepen-
dence of judgment and unusual i'm
aginative and critical vigor. 1t is
chiefly as an apostle of the older Ger

to Germany which has wandered far
from it,
What are the reactions of these two
German leaders to Germany's war OF
aggression and her military downfall,
to the revolutionary regime and to the
Reich's future under the Versailles
treaty? 10 understand these is to get
a clearer view of the forces at work
in present-day German politics.
In his political ideals and associa-
tions SHINES is reactionary. In eco
nomics he is som ething of an oppor-
tunist. He is, of course, an ardent
supporter of the old order, which. in
Its turn, put him in way to amass
his present fortune through war prof
teering. 1t also allowed him to pre-
empt the mineral and industrial re-
sources of Belgium during the German
military occupation in anticipation of
annexation or an economic protectorate.
He was the Berlin governments chief
economic adviser at Brussels. He de-
stroyed or removed large quantities Of
Belgian machinery and raw materials
and he admits having inspired the de-
portation to Germany of thousands of
scrlpted for war work.
SHINES Refuses to
Confess War Gilt
SHINES consequently has never been
willing to concede the wrongs done to
Belgium or to confess Germany's war
guilt.

made out a more sweeping case

often overlooked, perhaps because it is
so obvious.
First look at the map Of the Far

1t is compulsory and is regarded as
one of the most important subjects
lcges. And also, one of the most diff
fcult subjects, | must say. The method
OF English instruction in Japan has
not been worked out satisfactorily.
IF arduous study, comparatively few
Japanese attain proficiency. Neverthe-
less, the average Japanese, when he
has finished five years of the middle
school, which corresponds to your high
school, has reading knowledge of it.

mortified. His national pride receives
a terrible blow
Perhaps all these anachronisms and
fantastic legends about Japan are
legacy from the past generations, in
whose time no accurate knowledge
about her was necessary in American
life. AS such have no objection to
them Let the happy islanders Of the
Eastern Sea dwell among perennial
flowers and dance to the comic-opera
music of the "Mikado'! And the ro-
mantle minded of America could tell
any wild tales they choose about them
No harm was done
But those days are gone, never to
come back Now that Japan is one of
the most progressive and powerful
countries of the world and has begun
to play prominent part in interna-
tional affairs, you have a new series of
myths. These new stories of the Vel
low Peril, and of the Japanese naval
base on the Mexican coast, are Just as
uhleal as the old ones. But they are
not so pleasant nor are they so en-
tirely harmless. When I. read these
IN onstrous yarns and other sensational
news and speculations concerning my
country | fear that the New japan is
no better known than the Old japan.
The fact is that Americans misunder-
stand Japan.
Of course, there are some glazing
lies--lies manufactured for one pur-
pose or another. l will not discuss
them here.
But there are a great number of
foreigners in Japan who honestly try
to obtain correct information about
the Japanese people and yet do not
succeed. Why?
Japan differs radically from the
Occidental countries in race, religion.
history, in all manners and customs.
and especially in language. cannot
give you pathological dissertation;
you will understand just what sort of
q language Japanese must be II l tell
you that no grown-up foreigner can
ever hope to master it. Aptitude and
application may give him a working
vocabulary for conversation, but when
IL comes to accurate speaking or read
ing and writing he is simply helpless.
Of all the foreigners who visit or
live in Japan hardly one in a thousand
can tackle the Japanese language with
success. Though there are many for
eign journalists and correspondents in
Japan it is safe to say that not one of
them can read japanese or carry on a
conversation with the natives on sesi-
Gus subjects.
Consequently practically all these
people, including Americans, are
obliged to be content with second
hand information supplied by Japanese
interpreters and translators, who may
be very competent or may be very in
competent.
As regards casual travellers in Japan

their case is far worse. They go to a
certain number of places on the beaten
track of all foreign visitors and bag
the customary souvenirs and the set of
strange legends offered for tourist
consumption. They do not put up in
Japanese inns, but stop at European
style hotels, where they eat, sleep and
have their being just as comfortably
as at home. Such a condition of things
IS not conducive to an intimate obser-
vatioh and real understanding of
Japan.
A tourist, recently returned from the
Orient, is dangerous man. The
shorter his stay there and the shall
lower his observation, the more elo-
quent and copious will he be in his
narrative of adventures, only adding
to the stock of Japanese misinforma-
ton in America
In this respect the Japanese people
have an advantage over the American.
We know America better than you do
Japan.
While few Americans study the
Japanese language, all educated Japan
Gle, without exception, learn English.
