Steam Navigation Company, that the missionaries in China and 1 India give up their work for the good of all concerned, came a message from Capetown condemning the Charleston because it gives the na- tives an unfortunate impression of the white race
 The Rand churches have launched a big offensive against the dance and have appealed to the whites not to dance it there. It has "reactionary effects" on the dusky heathens, the missionaries say.
 ''The result of seeing white people dancing the Charleston will shake the natives faith in missionaries and Christianity the appeal stated.
 Lord Inchcape spoke somewhat along the same lines about mission aries in China and India.

 Yet it's there, officially-very of- ficially-and specifically. True, it's not so modern in flavor as the Va lencia" epoch in American life; but it is coincident with the Yes, We have no bananas" cultural era.

 It is part of report telling of the astonishing result of government subsidized national awakening to light diversions which swept a cer- tain small European capital follow ing the introduction into official so- cial life by legation attaches of American jazz photograph records. | and it's aftermath is drawn by the American minister in charge for em- balming in the official files at Wash ington.
 "One trial of the music and danc- ing became epidemic" he said. These records, on loan. passed iron. house to house, and soon native men and women, preiudiced as they are against modern customs and frivoli- ties. had joined in one-steps and tangoes."
 A legation dance with jazz motif capped the climax. The chief of state took over a hotel for conver- sion into a ballroom; a jazz band was imported.
