A BOOK A DAY
By BRUCE CATION

II is hardly surprising that
most Americans are pretty gun
shy about wartime atrocity
stories. After our experience
with the horrendous myths of
the World war; ground out by
the yard in efficient lie fac
tories-we are pretty we'll adj
vised to take horror tales with
a wagon load of salt.
Yet it is hard to see how
Japanese Terror in China" by
H, J. Temperley Modern Age
Books: rs cents), can be laugh
ed off. Mr.. Temperley is a
reputable ewspap m an
China correspondent for the
Manchester Guardian-and he
has assembled here, from Ameri-
cans and Europeans in China,
documents which can be hardly
dismissed as mere propaganda.
The writers Of these docu-
ments lived through the Jap
nese conquest of various Chinese
cities; and their reports about
the reign OF terror which fol-
lowed the conquest give the Jap
anese army black mark which
will take a lot of washing off.
Apparently, Japanese disci-
pline is not what it is cracked
up to be. In case after case,
this book recites tales of utter
Reorganization, of murder, loot
ing, rape and senseless destruc-
ton by soldiery that had got
completely out of hand. After
the capture of Marking, for in
stance, the officers seem to have
had no control whatever over
