Though Japan is mans coun-
try" it is the women who make the
wheels Of its society run smoothly" /"
DIR. Glenn w. Shaw, director Of the
faculty language division of the
Naval Intelligence School told the
Twentieth Century Club yesterday
at the YWCA.
DR.. Shaw pointed out his remarks
were based on the observations he
made during the Is years he lived
in Japan as q teacher in various
schools there, before his return to
this country in. 1910 to take his
present post. He said that though
he had heard visitors to Japan
speak critically of 1t, they would
always wind up with the ohserva-
tion, but the women are wonder
full"
Contrary to Western belief, mod
ern Japanese women participate in
all phases of business life, DR.. Shaw
declared. The large department
stores are all manned with women
personnel, he said, including ele-
vator girls. It is not even unusual
to see women taxi drivers, he said.
In the home, the woman handles
the pursestrings, greets her hus-
bands friends when they come to
call on him, and in general creates
the hospitable, courteous atmosphere
characteristic of the traditional
japanese home, DR.. Shaw pointed
out.
AS far as the social life is con-
cerned, though, DR.. Shaw observed
with a twinkle in his eye, ut is a
mans country" He recalled the
time he was invited to "getsujiksi, "
or social gathering of men, where
they were served with that food
which is so marvellous to look at but
not much to eat" Afterward, each
member of the group was called
upon in a sort of amateur program
or "kakushi gel" to contribute his
hidden accomplishments" by sing
ing, dancing or reciting for the en-
tertainment of the group.
On one rare occasion, DR.. Shaw
recalled, the wives and children were
invited to one of these gatherings,
but the entertainment part Of the
program was not such success.
The men, who were masters in their
own homes, refused to get up and
make fools OF themselves in front
of the women. he remarked with
amusement.

George V. Allen Will
Spread Americas
Story Abroad
By John c. Henry

Pressed by the disturbing and
swiftly moving course of events
abroad, Congress is about to appro-
pirate some s33 3,000, 900 to finance
the telling Of the American story
Of democracy and freedom to the
peoples of the world.
To administer and direct the tell
ing, Congress has approved the Sc
lection of George Venable Allen, A.
year -old former school teacher and
former newspaper reporter, as As
sistant Secretary of State for Pub
lie Affairs. For Is years a career
Foreign Service officer, Mr.. Allen
has just completed two years as
United States Ambassador to IRAN
a post in which he proved his ca
pacity for facing up courageously
and effectively to the same Soviet
pressures as have forced most of
Europe behind the dark folds of
the iron curtain.
At this point the House already
has passed an appropriation Of ap-
! proximately $2S, 900 900 for the pro-
gram during the fiscal year begin
ming July l. Pending, and expected
to be approved, is request for an
additional $4,000, 900 to supplement
funds available between now and
July /. Since only about $11 ,000, 900
has been available for the present
fiscal year, the supplemental fund
Is calculated to permit an immedi-
ate stepping up Of the effort rather
than leaving . further delay of
three months. Senate concurrence
in both appropriations, or some
comparably adequate figure. is ex-
pected promptly.
Emphasis on Truth
Legislative blessing to this all-out
intention to rally the liberty loving
populations Of the world around
the American standards of human
dignity and integrity was given by
the present Congress in approval,
only a few weeks ago, of the Smith
Mundt bill. 1t was an action
prompted largely by the first per-
son finding of members of both
House and Senate during a series
Of trips last year to Europe and
the Middle East and gives a statu-
tory authority to an effort which
previously had existed mostly as a
State Department stepchild.
With this legislative blessing, with
sufficient funds to do the job needed
and with past experience-good and
bad-as guidance, 1t is expected that
the program will become a substan-
tial and influential factor in our
overall foreign policy. Missing will
be an earlier emphasis on American
culture" as reflected in our modern
art, music, dancing and other quaint
habits. In their place will be a re-
lance on truth and fact, an empha-
sis on how this Nation has imple-
mented It's ideals and how it has
and will display its good will.
Five principal media will be used,
namely, the wireless news bulletin,
the radio Voice of America, the
foreign libraries of all types of
American publications, the motion
pictures and the exchange of stu
dents and teachers with those of
