Japan was discovered" In

On the Portuguese ship was

The far eastern empire of
Japan had hitherto been
known only by the vague re-
ports of Marco Polo.
He knew of Japan only by
hearsay and reported it to be
located i'm the Pacific some
fifteen hundred miles east of
China.
Columbus, having this mis-
information of Marco POlO's

when he touched at the West
Indies-that he had discov-
cred India and that Cuba was
the island empire of Cipangu,
or Japan.

The Setting Sun of Japan
Pu rnrJ P1ndnu nud Ionr

By Carl Rdndau and Leane
Zugsmith. Random House,
Carl Randau, who has been writ
ing of International affairs since
the Versailles Treaty, and his wife,
the novelist, Leane Zugsmith, went
out to the Far East last summer
to gather material for a book under
the sponsorship of the newspaper
PM. They returned on the last
passenger liner to dock before the
attack on Pearl Harbor, having
visited Japan, China, French Indo-
China, Singapore, the Philippines,
the Dutch East Indies and Aus
tralia. The present book resulted.
It Is amusing to read If you can
forget what has happened since De-
cember z. 1t is full of witty COM
ment on heavy Japanese espionage,
it deals generously In whimsical ac-
counts of fellow passengers and
their peculiarities, and makes soft
moan over the accommodations
which the East at present offers
customers from the West. But it
bears very little, If any, on the
present international situation. In
spite of its ominous title it devotes
only a small part of its space to
Japan and even In that space it
is not exclusively concerned with
Japanese policies.
What 1t does say on that subject.
indeed, is at the very end Of the
work and is no forecast, but has
been written after the event. The
early chapters on Japan-composed
before Pearl Harbor-describe q
people ground, down to q subsistence
standard Of living, denied any civil
liberties, terrified by q secret police
under the frank domination Of Ger
many, generally dissatisfied, but not
In the least likely to rebel. These
conditions, say the authors, were the
effect Of the Chinese War and the
Axis partnership. At the end Of the
book, however, we find Japan evalu-
ated IN terms Of conflict with Amer
lea and in quite . different manner.
The authors see Japan then as
holding Q '.headstart" which It win
take two years to overcome, but
prophesy that she win fall at last
before an onslaught Of Asiatic peo-
pies who, under the leadership Of
China, viii turn upon the sek-ap-
pointed leader Of the Asian new
order" Apparently Mr.. and Mrs.
Randau believe that the Asiatics,
In the main, have become so enam-
ored Of democracy that they will
fight to establish it. But these
authorities also considered Singa-
pore impregnable and the Free
French q vital force which before
long would make its weight felt In
the war in Europe.

dotes about travel In . disorganised

meals scientifically. A concise In
PRODUCTION is Americas Nutrition
Primer: What to Eat and Why"
by Eleanora Sense, which explains
the importance Of vitamins, min
erals and carbohydrates, and In
cludes a number Of recipes for
inexpensive but nutritious foods.
Two other books on the food re-
quirements of a family are "Nu-
triton and Physical Fitness" by
Lotta Jean Bogert, and Feeding
the Family" by Mary D. Rose.
In addition to practical informa-
ton on food selection, the home
maker often finds herself in need
of ideas for preparing food. There
are basic cookbooks too numerous
to mention. One which Is especially
adapted for economical use of time
and materials is Good Cooking" +"
by Marjorie Heseltine and Ula Dow.
For the small family, a new addition
has been published recently of Janet
Hills Cooking for Two" The ever
present problem of what to do with
the food left over from a meal
may be almost eliminated by using
such a cookbook, which specializes
in small quantities or by referring
to Hannah w. Schloss' useful VOL
ume, Short Cuts and Left-overs.
The homemaker will find enthus-
iastic and practical aid in Magic in
Herbs" by Leonie de Sounin, who
gives directions for using herbs IN
cooking, with chapter on How
to Make q Family Herb Garden" !"
Since the supply of spices from
foreign countries is diminishing,
herbs that can be grown in the back
yard invite exploring.
In a plan for family living in
which each outlay of money must
return a maximum of value, the
beauty Of the home must not be
forgotten. Lydia Powell has set
forth the first principles in THE
Attractive Home: A Book of Good
Ideas and Simple Rules for the
Homemaker." A more formal book
is "Art in Everyday Life" by Harriet
and Vetta Goldstein.
The publications listed above and
other practical material to assist
the wise planning of family expend-
itures may be borrowed from the
Public Library, Eighth and K streets
