Rural reorganization is with ,us at
the present time an important eco
nomic problem" This statement in
the Japan Year Book sums up in a
few words the most vital issue before
Japan today-namely, to make her
SELF self-sustaining nation.
when Commodore Perry. in 1854.

vegetables to amply supply the needs
or those living in the cities.
Since that time, however, great
chanseS nave taken place. With her
entrance into foreign trade markets.
Japan found herself forced to export
imports In every foreign land her
SILK was in demand, and this product
became the principle article of ex-
port-remaining so until today. How
ever, SILK was not enough to balance
the foreign trade sheet, as the people
form foreign tastes in dress and liv-
ing. Thus there sprang up industrial
centers, where the people began to
manufacture articles which might be
SOLD on foreign markets.
Huge Industries Spring Up.
AS these industries grew the youths
began to flock from rural districts to
the factories, lured by higher wages
and the gayer life of the cities. The
lack of foreign competition in far
eastern markets during the world
war gave japanese industrialists a
golden chance, with the result that
huge industries sprang up and reaped
harvest of profits. When the war
ended Japan had garnered a gold re-
serve of 1900, ,0O0, 900 yen (s1,100,000,- :
000) as q result of this great indus
trial boom
Foreign nations have re-entered the
far eastern fields of trade, with the
result that Japan's industrial activi-
ties have Shrunk. But the paddy
field no longer holds any attractions
for the youths who left the farm in
those halcyon days and lived a care
free life on war wages. That there
is no back the-soil' movement
Is shown in statistics that where
1917 per cent of the population lived
in cities of over 100000 in 1913 the
total represented 1907 per cent of
the population in 1920. Similar in
creases are found in all of the large
cities where industrial centers are
located. The farmers of Japan today
number only about $500, 900 out of a
total of 56.00o,000 in Japan proper
less than one-tenth of the population.
Between Two MiIlxtones.
Thus Japan today finds herself be-
tween two millstones of insufficient
agricultural production to feed the
nation and insufficient foreign trade
to balance her budget. Since the
end of the war imports have gradual

Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing
Company.
Clear that this novelist loves the
sea Plain, too. that she is at home
with the water field of this adven-
ture-with the ins and outs of the
New England coast from Boston to
Portland. Evident, too, that she
rightly evaluates the power of beauty
in heroine, realizing that otherwise
this heroine may be either negligible
or quite worthless. Just so long as
she fills the eye nothing else counts.
These are the two foundation stones
in the novel in hand. The plot is an
unbelievable one, developing from a
romantic runaway adventure on a
yacht. Nothing but fairy story could
have assembled on board the four
young people hat one finds there. 1t.
