Government by Assassination
By Hugh Bvds. (Knopf)

~ 41NSft DSuo. n i
One more old japanese hand here
has tried to make the island empire
comprehensive to the Western
mind. Hugh Byas, New York Times
correspondent, has been for q years
resident of Japan, knows his facts,
and, as is to be expected, writes ex-
ceedingly well. But, his formidable
equipment Notwithstanding, he has
not been able to make Japan make
sense, as we know 1t He has just
succeeded in showing us how it does
not make sense.
He has taken it apart and shown
us all the reasons why it should not
run, and then explained to us the
ghastly extent to which it does run.
He says quite frankly that he
realizes the hiatus himself Even
the statement of the commonest
japanese concepts, he laments, Is
virtually impossible because we have
no words for such concepts. Put
into such English as is possible, the
ideas which have reused the whole
Japanese nation to homicidal
frenzy become vague sentimental
platitudes. But precisely because
Mr.. Byas does understand these
gaps between their theology and
ours, he has succeeded better than
most endeavorers in getting the
Japanese case on paper. He has ap-
preached it with intelligent circum-
spection.
He undertakes first to drive into
his readers understanding that in
Japan the virtue of patriotism,
though it is exalted above all other
virtues, is most commonly expressed
by crime. Government by assas-
sination' Is no mere catch phrase,
as he uses it. Instead. he reviews
the long series of murders of high
japanese officials which have taken
place in recent years as the typical
expression of the kind OF patriotism
which the Japanese people as a
whole revere. and understand. The
field Of patriotism, as he describes
it. is In Japan the field of violence
-did CASluo1SCiy IlldI. IcdCClul
labor in behalf of their country is
something which has no meaning to
the Japanese people. But when a
young thug shoots venerable gov =
ernment offlcial, and gives as his
reason that he was animated by
love Of country, the said thug be-
comes automatically a hero-no cir
cumstances whatever being counted
against him. It Is crazy from our
point Of view, as Mr.. Byas patiently
reiterates. But 1t seems to be per-
fectly acceptable reasoning In Nip
pom.
Corresponding to our gangs and
racketeers, who operate in the field
Of business. there is, Mr.. Byas con-
tinues, a whole hierarchy Of rufIians
in Japan who operate in their field
Of patriotism. For a consideration
they will kill any designated ofncial
and trust public sentiment to get
them OF on the usual plea Of love
Of country. Or they will kidnap the
offending onicial and dictate an "ar-
rangement" Of the disputed point of
administration. This they call med
iation," and 1t is usually done with
daggers.
These gentry have their societies
their schools for the young. their

The hero is a would-be FBI agent

Of the national soul" and other
matters which today are affecting
all American lives and yet come out
In our language as almost nearing
less. 1t ends with the statement
that Japan must suffer a military
defeat which will be felt by the jap
anese people sufficiently to end their
notion of their superiority-that no
negotiated peace must be permitted.
no matter how advantageous, for,
until Japan is decisively thrashed,
she will remain an aggressor and a
threat to the peace of the world. In
general, the effect of volume is the
same as that which might be
engendered by trip through a
madhouse conducted by a learned
and sympathetic psychiatrist.

Ny Uncle Newt
By Frances Eisenbero.

By Frances Eisenberq. (Lip-
pincott.)
This is series of coherent sketches
about one OF those cantankerous, in
dlvidualistic old men who are so de-
lightful to read about and so dis
agreeable to live with. There is not
a word about the war in it; it has
absolutely no social significance: 1t
is. quite simply, a book intended to
make you chuckle quietly to your
self some, evening when you want to
unite some of the knots in your
nerves.
Uncle Newt is an alarminely
agile septagenarian given to loud
and candid utterances at the least
suitable moments. His gainful oc-
cupation consists Of mixing large
quantities Of liniment in wash
boilers and dishpans at a total cost
Of 2 cents bottle and selling this
product to the gullible at so cents a
bottle. Whatever his percentage OF
profit. Uncle Newt never seems to
have any cash on hand, and he
never makes any attempt to pay his
board bill.
Uncle Newt fiits about the country
in his 1927 automobile and stays with
relatives from third cousins UP.
Miss Eisenberg's book deals with the
period Of several months he spends
In Knoxville, Tenn, with his niece,
widow In her Sos. who keeps room
ers-or does her level best to keep
them In the same house with Uncle
Newt.
Mrs. Wimpler's frequent exasper-
alton with her uncle is tempered by
her Arm conviction that the sinful
old gentleman has been sent to her
by providence for spiritual treat
ment. Uncle Newt leaves her, nm
ally, in precisely the same moral
condition In which he arrived, which
is less 3 rebuke to Mrs. Wimpler's
powers as q reformer than q tribute
to Uncle Nevis staunchness In not
allowing any one to tamper with
his soul.
This Is another Of the Story Press

Jack MunrOe's Death
Brings Back Memory
Of yeffries' Fiqht

A ring battle that occurred 10 years
ago. in which Butte miner went four
rounds with Jim Jeffries and thereby
won 500, was recalled with the recent
death of Jack Munroe in Toronto.
1t was Munroe who stood up for four
rounds with the great Jeff. one Of the
most gifted heavyweight champions Of
all time. Jeffries was at his peak then.
too. having but shortly before lifted
the title from Jim Corbett.
Munroe fought such other ring
greats as Peter Maher. Jack johnson
and Tom Sharkey. He saw service with
the famous Princess Pats" In the first
World war and met success as a gold
miner. He was 81 years old when he
died.
Munroe earned a shot at Jeffries'
title after that fight in Butte. The
bout was staged at Coney Island, New
York. A blow shattered bone in Mum
roe's right arm in the second round,
forcing him to stop.
After his ring career Munroe went
to Canada during the first World war
and while serving with the Princess
Pat regiment was wounded in action
in Ypres.

What Was the Matter?
By EMMA GARY WALLACE

Robert had been an only child fol
nearly four years. Then his new
brother, Tony, arrived and took the
center of the stage
At first relatives and sometimes &C.
casional callers leased Robert about
having his nose put out of joint be-
cause so much attention was being
given to the baby.
Robert was manifestly troubled
Young children are often jealous
mother and daddy had sometimes re-
marked. but he'll soon get over that
and love his little brother as much as
the rest Of us do"
Occasionally. they made a special
effort to pet and make much Of Rob-
ert, for they did not want him to
feel pushed aside or neglected. As
time went on, he became interested
in Baby Tony, often playing with him
and being amused by his cute little
ways.
When the time came for Robert to
go to school, he seemed to have no
difficulty in getting along with the
other children, but for some reason or
other. he was listless and inclined to
daydream.
One of his teachers reported to his
mother that Robert did not appear to
be enthusiastic about anything, nor to
be able to concentrate. She suggested
that 1t might be well to have the child
checked over physically by a compe-
tent physician.
The young mother was distressed
and after consulting with Roberts
father, she took the child to the fam
lily physician.
The doctor could find nothing physi-
cally wrong and thought it might be
that something was disturbing the
child's sense of neutrality-suspicious. with
regard to his home relationships. He
suggested that Robert be studied by
specialist in child psychiatry.
This observer was not long in find
ing out that Robert was still suffer-
ing from the submerged fear that
his mother and father did not love
him as they did little Tony, who was
now 2 years old.
Robert had been sent to a summer
camp the season before, so that he
might be out in the open, but SEEM
ingly he had not been benefited. The
reason was that he had taken his
trouble with him. He was naturally
quiet and reserved and so lived, for
the most part, In world of his own
making.
From this point on, Roberts parents
definitely changed their tactics. Very

There are thousands, perhaps mil
lions of homes in which soup is sell
dom if ever served. Yet, when the
residents Of these homes order a res
taurant or hotel meal, they invariably
accept the soup course. In fact, they
order 1t and loudly praise it. If it is
not on the menu, they complain.
Why? It's easy to ask the question,
but impossible to give the answer.
Soup Is an economical dish, easy to
prepare, light, healthful. wonderful

be varied as almost no other dish
can. Surely, housewives are not too

Soup Is an excellent balancer for
any dinner. Through it, those who

thing from chopped parsley to peppers.
It's dish that should appear on every
table at least twice a week. Occasion

with lima beans as an ingredient.
