Thereupon, the Commissioner re-

The showdown has come at last.
Few ofilcials here believe Premier
BRAND WAS in the wrong when he re-
signed and laid the case before the
whole world. To have kept up nego-
tiations while there always loomrd up

The prediction is that the Poincare

scheme.
The novel reveals an intimate.
first hand knowledge of modern
Japan. A type like Sadako, the Jap
anese intellectual girl who reads
Nietzsche and Oscar Wilde, who
gives her heart to the man whom
she loves, but who still clings to the
social conventions of her fathers. ad-
mirably reflects the mingling OF
Eastern and Western cultyfes which
make Japan such battling and in
teresting object of national study. In
Tanaka, the Japanese retainer who
first sows mischief between Asako
and her husband by his spying and
tale bearing, yet who is willing to
defend her with his life, we have
another Japanese character who de-
fies judgment by Occidental stand-I
ards.
For it's austere realism. for it's fl

portrayal of human beings caught in
the web of a cruel and blind social
system, for all these things XII

had only smashed to fragments the
legend of unreal prettiness which
has grown up about Japan, it would
have performed a valuable service
to the cause of truth and straight
thinking. At times the authors
moral emotionalism seems to carry
him too far. 1t is no more fair to
judge Japan by its Yoshiwara than
it would be to judge America by It's
occasional lynching bees. But in the
main "Kimono" must be commended
both as picture of Japanese Gus
toms and as an exceptionally well
written first novel. 1t departs from
the tradition of Madame Butterfly
by furnishing happy ending for its
mixed marriage.

Later in his analysis the doctor
wonders whether it was really true
that "the companionship of women
was necessary to these energetic
creative types?" He asks whether
the drive of life toward action as
distinguished from contemplation,
arose out Of sex and needed to be
refreshed by the reiteration of that
motive" He notes: Sex not only a
renewal Of life in the species-sex
may be also a renewal of energy
in the individual" He further medi-

Apart from the provocative ne
cesslty was Woman an unavoidable
evil? Nowadays we took a proper
care of the young. we had no need
for high birth rates, quite a small
proportion of women with a gift

the offspring the world wanted.
u A drastic elimination of
creatures would be practicable.
The speculation leads the worthy
doctor to some Enthusiastically surpris-
ing results, but they can hardly be
called definite conclusions.
