Japan Fights for Asia
By John Goette. (Harcourt,
Rrnce

By JOhn GOette. (HdrcOurt,
Brace.)
The author of this book is a for
eign correspondent who, for the
five years previous to our entry into
the war, was attached to the Jap
anese armies in Asia. He has there
lore seen the Chinese war from the
japanese side. His book reviews the
conflict, offering some interpreta-
tions which are interesting in that
they differ from those generally
presented by correspondents who
have been on the Chinese side of
the battle lines.
Chiefly, Mr.. Goette warns that it
Is a mistake to think that japan
can be ouSted from her lands of
conquest by any simple sort of
method. She has built up an eco
nomlc organization in those do
mains, he says, which is solid and
all-comprehending She has sent
millions of coloniSts into the occu-
ped territories and is sending more
While she has looted considerably

to what other reporters have
claimed. In some cases, says Mr..
Goette, she has even produced bet
ter conditions for the nativeS-pro-
Vlded, OF course, that they are COM
plalSant to her absolute control.
Mr., Goette also says that We are
in danger of overrating the effec-
tlVenesS of Chinas guerrilla armies
Brave as these fighting units are
he says. they can accomplish no
more than pin pricks against
Japan's power. 1t has been claimed
by enthusiastic observers that the
guerrillas keep the japanese in
Vaslon forces in a constant state
of apprehension and confusion.
Nothing could be more misleading
thinks Mr.. Goette. The guerrilla
efforts are so slight, as he sees it,
that, in the main. the japanese
simply do not pay attention. More
over, he warns, the guerrilla lead
ers are in danger of degenerating
INTO old-style war lords, proving on
the Chinese peasants. If we wish
to forestall this, he urges, We must
see that materiel goes to China S
lighters in quantities which will be
OF genuine Use.
The theme Of the book is that
Japan, while conquering. is also
building. We do not like the strllc-
ture that she is putting up. but
we accomplish nothing by denying
its existence. It is real and solid
says Mr.. Goette, and when peace
comes We shall find that dealing
with it is one of our greatest prob
lens. His book is one which ought
to be read. if only as an antidote
to emotional optimism.

told, the great pleasure of assem-
bling collection of the rarest and
finest works of art in Europe for
which he has built a museum near
his fortress home in memory of his
mother. What a travesty! But
these and all other stolen works
will, it is understood, be returned
by the Allied Nations when victory
is ours.
That some of these precious works
may not be injured meanwhile is
beyond belief. Also some may have
travelled far to destinations unknown.
False sales have been reported-the
possibility of spurious copies being
made and marketed is not to fam
tastical, Much difficulty besets the
future Of the undertaking.
What TalueS?
1t has been said that in case
work has been lost or hopelessly in
jured those responsible will be
obliged to make restoration of simil-
lar kind and equal value. But art
has no fixed value - the market
varies-and a masterpiece destroyed
can never be replaced
According to reports, the accumu-
lated wealth of Europe amounted
before the war to several billion
dollars and constituted to this eX-
tent national assets of the now
subject nations. But the actual
value of great work of art cannot
be set forth in dollars and cents or
other coin of the realm-it is spirit
ual rather than material-hence, in
valuable
What, indeed. would one take for
first view of the Parthenon. Cha
tres Cathedral, Mont Saint Michel,
the cathedral at Rouen and its
neighboring church? Or the sculp-
ture and paintings in the great
museums which speak eloquently to
the eye and the heart.
How great the loss in such things
has already been is not yet known
but it is reassuring to know that
these works of God-given genius
and superlative beauty will be held
in trust by the Allied Nations until
restoration to their rightful GUS
todlanS can be effected.
The committee appointed by the
President and functioning under
governmental authority will, of
course, cooperate closely with SINH
lar organizations set up by our Allies
and the subject nations most con-
cerned
Art is universal language-the
love of art bond of fellowship the
world round. 1t must be safe
guarded and nurtured if life is to
be something more than struggle
and SadneSS-a night without stars.
1t is good to know that our country
Is taking the lead in this pro-
foundly important matter.

Alteration OF Kick

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. 16-R
The out-of-bounds kickoff in col
Iege football has become so .ex-
tremely distasteful, says Athletic
Director Fritz Crisler of Michigan,
that something should be d n e
about it in a hurry.
Crisler is a member of the Ma

code. It may be a long time be-

Just back from a speaking trip,
Crisler expressed the opinion that
the East was as determined as
the Midwest to carry on with col.
lege football next year despite the
growing wartime uncertainties.
THE have-nots seem extremely
grateful to the sports-going public
for sticking with talent-shy teams,
