she says: obviously you (the Chi
nese people) are defenseles because
you have been robbed. The money
which should have gone for defense
has been taken for something else"
Well. and then what? She is re.
puted to know China well, and she
expresses complete faith in the power
OF the Chinese people to survive the
war and even Japanese victory
through mysterious. hardly defined
quality which she calls being your

Il laugh" she says. at the idea Of

trying to make Communists of you,
and Christians, and a great many
other things. You always amiably
agree with everything and you remain
what you are. You don't mind talking
like something else for a while if it
is expedient, but inwardly you are
what you have always been"
And she goes on to give the Chinese
some counsel which no doubt she
means very well.
Il wish, however," she says, that
now you would not think of expedi-

Well, it seems to the reviewer a good

Well, what are you going to do about

THE February issue Of Asia is at
hand and, as might be expected,
devotes much space to discussion Of
the sino-Japanese conflict. In fact,
accompanying the regular issue Of
the magazine is supplement given
over to consideration OF the "unde-
clared" war. written by such authori-
ties as Nathaniel PETER, Pearl Buck,
Willard Price, Ernest o. Hauser, Paul
Schef1er and Nym Wales-with brief
piece by Kao Tsengtun speaking for
China.
Mr.. PETER, calling his article "The
One Hope for China" writes of the
possible outcomes of the war. He
says that if the Western powers in
tervene and defeat Japan, the strug-
gle for domination Of China will sim
ply begin anew. with little difference
from the conditions OF the past CEN
tury except that Japan will be elimi-
mated from the unholy competition.
II, however, Japan, by allying herself
with the European Fascist powers,
should win, then she will be greatly
reduced in power between her greater
allies.
If, on the other hand, the Western
powers do not intervene, then there
Is a chance for some real change to
occur in the Eastern situation, and
the period of rivalry of Western ma
tions for control of Chinese markets
may give way to a new era. AS Mr..
Pef1er sees it, should Japan win. un-
aided or unopposed by European ma
tions. she will attempt to set up an
other puppet state south of the Great
Wall, excluding all foreigners except
her own people. In time the West
would object and Japan would find
herself with one more war on her
hands-this time a war Of world pro-
portions. 1t seems big result to
come out Of trade rivalry for a single
country, but Mr.. PETER sees it as a
fairly certain consequence.
On the other hand he says, if
Western nations pursue course of
non-intervention, Japan is by no
means certain of victory. This
seems optimistic, but he says it. And,
ne also says, If China should pervail
by her own efforts, she will have ac-
complished her own regeneration.
She will have welded herself into a
nation and become one of the powers.
In other words. she will be as bad off
as the rest of us? That, of course, is
an extensively cynical way of looking
at 1t.

gle between the two nations, its eco
nomic causes and its progress. The
present book is likewise devoted to
casting light on the undeclared war,
but 1t attacks the subject from an
hitherto little used point Of view. In
stead Of discussing primarily Japan,s
rising population curve, her need for
expansion, her desire for raw ma
teriaS, and the like, Mr.. Scherer
concerns himself chiefly with analyz-
Ing her psychological peculiarities
Carl Crow, in his Il Speak for the
Chinese" also touched on this aspect
Of the complication, to be sure. But
Mr.. Crows work was brief, being no
more than a long essay. The present
work is full-length book and, while
1t does take up the economics Of the
situation, 1t goes behind that into the
human factors which have made
such economic habits possible to a
whole people.
Mr.. Scherer has been a school
teacher working in Japan for many
years. His affection for the Japanese
people is unmistakable. He obviously
loves them. At the same time he by
no means extenuates the course Of
the government in the invasion of
China. He inquiries rather how it is
that . people with such likeable
qualities can lend itself to . war 80
shocking and indefensible.
He finds the answer In the fact that
Japan has progressed from . medieval
feudal society to a machine age So
ciety without any intermediate period
OF adjustment. In the West the in
dustrial revolution was accompanied
by an Intellectual revolution, he says,
and BY the appearance of great reform
movements. In Japan, mechanized
industry in its fullness was fitted
"ready-made" to q people heretofore
unacquainted with any social organ
isation but the feudal. The Japanese
peasant, ut the time Of the opening
Of the country to commerce, was q
bound creature, tied by centuries Of
tradition to his overlord. And the
overload was tied In turn to the EN-
peror, who was-and is-worshiped
Is god-not as the emblem Of Gods
authority, but literal god incarnate.
With no conditioning revolt against
the divine right Of kings, with no &C.
companying assertion Of the rightsDof
man, with none Of the intellectual
progress which coincided in the West
with the introduction Of machinery,
the peasant was moved into shops and
factories owned by his overload and
told to work there. and into an army
owned by his emperor and commanded
to obey there. And the overlords, for
their part, took advantage Of the new
methods Of production to increase their
wealth enormously. They continued
to pay feudal wages-they still do-and
the result u q per cent Of profit un-
heard Of in the West. At the same
time they gained ascendancy' over the
emperor god, 80 that. says Mr.. scherer,

TALES OF A CHINESE GRAND
MOTHER By Frances Carpenter.
Garden City: Doubleday Doran q
Co.
This Is Miss Carpenters latest ad-
dition to her charming series of
Grandmother" tales. The others have
been Tales OF a Russian Grand
mother" and Tales OF Basque
Grandmother" both delightful as to
reading matter and pleasant to the eye.
Among juvenile books which have for
their purpose the teaching Of legends
OF foreign lands, this series deserves .
high place.
The present volume shows the be-
loved Chinese grandmother telling her
young grandson and granddaughter
the stories which, in the old Chinese
life. were bound up with simple ordi-
nary things and processes Of living.
The tales should be fascinating to
young Americans, and not devoid of
interest, In their authenticity, to older
readers either.
Washingtonians ought to feel q par
ticular interest In the volume, q It's
author, Miss Frances Carpenter, Is 4
native Of the city. She is the daugh-
ter Of the late Frank G.. Carpenter,
noted author and traveller, and at
present makes her home In oeorse-

The color plates by Malthe Hassel-

THIS Is the autobiography Of the

the well-warmed places Of the earth
than in its frozen extremities. It
could hardly avoid being Q work OF
great interest. It can add to that
quality an admirable modesty and re-

tell itself. and Is at some pains to
mention that he was . failure in

Of book study were . torture to him.
The book Is divided between &C.

to the Arctic and the Antarctic. Prep
