nificant factors in Japan which he described as utterly lacking in unity. Young's use of jargon and vernacular added to the lecture.
 Japan, contrary to general be- lief, is not united" Young said. Five military factions, two volun- tarily dormant political parties, 8 fairly democratic press with tre- mendous circulation, dissatisfied public and groups of business men fed up with keeping the war ma- chine going, comprise the Mikado's complex kingdom.
 Japan is afraid of the United States and Russia" he added. "Jap- aneSe militarists want no Molotov breadbaSkets dropped on Nippon's bamboo houses and three vulner- able industrial cities. It would be seven-alarm fire"
 Regarding the Axis tieup, Young said: "The Axis alliance is march of three pallbearers whistling in the dark through an international graveyard"
 Young for the past 10 years was manager of the International News Service Bureau in Tokio, and his name made headlines last winter when he was jailed for 61 days for writing a story about Japan's fail- ure in China. He entertained the audience last night with witty ref erences to Japan's curious legal system and unheated jails.
 Speaking of the United States attitude toward the Sino-Japanese war, Young said that foreign cor respondents get vivid picture of what it means to furnish China with Red Cross service and Japan with cannon fodder. You're in Chinese dug-out replete with bun dleS of American humanitarianiSm and the Japs come over and drop bombs on you, bombs that they wouldn't have if it weren't for American industry"
 Young's greatest praise was for the Japanese navy. "Japan's navy, trained along British lines, is op- posed to the army and does not want war with any power, except Britain, if the United States were neutral. Japan's vulnerable position. between the United States fleet and Russia's air force, is of greater con- cern to Tokyo than Americas con- cern over a two-ocean navy prob lem"
 Young also devoted much of his lecture to describe the almost con- plete Americanization of the Jap aneSe people, who have adopted most of Americas sports and even jitterbug music. AS for Japan's na- tive music, he said it sounds "as though they were tuning up.' The next lecture will be Dec. 18, when Edmund Taylor, another neWspaperman, will speak on "Les- sons from the French Collapse"
