JAPAN MIXES OLD, NEW CULTURES

Nippon Modern as Broadway, Ancient as Mankind

This i* the fourth of six stories on "Japan's Skyrocket Rise.’’ BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer (CoDvrißht. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.) IF you had been bom a Japanese and were living in Tokio today— You would be getting the war news from China in newspaper “extras” as modem as those of any American newspaper. You would listen in on the radio in your home just the same as you listen in here, except that you would pay the government’s radio agency a fee for the listening privilege. The fact that you had paid your radio tax would be attested by a' metal sign on your front door. You would hear no advertising, for radio advertising is barred in Japan. You would trade at department stores as modern and as large as any in the United States; Mitsukoshi, Japan’s biggest department store, carries nine floors of merchandise, is equipped with nineteen elevators and six escalators, sells everything that you would expect a . department store to sell. You would be keenly interested in news from America about “Babe” Rath and "Pepper” Martin, for biseball is the great national pastime in Japan; the new ball park at Osaka looks much like any big league stadium here and is only one of the many that have sprung up over Japan. You could join a Japanese Y. M. C. A. or a Japanese W. C. T. U., or even buy a Salvation Army “War Cry” printed in Japanese. tt tt a THE ancient island of Nippon has “gone American.” It has not yet completely reached that stage. But it is getting there fast. There is still a strange mixture of the old and the new. Taxicabs and street cars dash through the streets. So do jinrikishas, those two-wheeled passenger carts pulled by coolies. A “Moga,” or modern girl, strolls past, looking and acting like a true American flapper. Her old-fash-ioned sister, in kimono, quaint shimada headdress and woodensoled sandals, is also seen. Many store signs are painted in both Japanese and English. Cards in show windows proclaim “English spoken here.” A collegiate-looking young chap, with socks rolled and looking like an American college boy, also drifts by -with the crowd. Behind him may come another studious-looking youth in long kimono and sandals and wearing a felt ox’ straw hat. On a fine macadam road just outside the city you may watch a big auto truck roll by, followed by a heavily laden cart to which six to ten coolies are harnessed. u IF you lived at Osaka, the “Pittsburgh of Japan,” the chances are that you would work in one of its modern steel mills. The din of trip hammers would nearly deafen you, giant cranes would be piling tons of stuff into barges on the nearby river. If on the night shift, you would work—and sweat—under the glare of arc lights. If you were an office worker in Tokio or Yokohama or Kobe or Kyoto, the chances are that you would toil in one of their modern office buildings. If you wanted night life, you could find plenty night clubs, cabarets, movies, theaters. When you celebrated, you would drink sake—made from rice—instead of com liquor. tt tt t* BEYOND the great cities the scene changes. Old Japan—the Japan that Commodore Perry found in 1853—still lives in the hinterland. In these quaint villages that cling to the mountainsides and dot the fertile valleys, the old order remains. Men and women in queer parasol-like bamboo hats, toil kneedeep in the waters of the rice fields; the people live largely on a diet of rice; they sleep on thick mattresses on the matting-covered floor, a notched wooden headrest serving as a pillow. The water buffalo pulls the wooden plow, the handloom comes out after the day’s work in the rice field is done, little wooded places with sacred shrines beckon the Japanese to the gods of his ancestors. The charm of the ancient seems to linger. Even a rich Tokio manufacturer, after being driven to his suburban home in his limousine, may exchange his Americanized attire for silk kimono and wooden sandals and squat upon the floor with his family for a cup of tea. tt tt tt THE average Japanese is civil, polite, secretive, intelligent. Lacking a sense of humor, he is as dumb as an Englishman when it comes to understanding the point of a joke. Nevertheless, he is usually light-hearted and buoyant. Centuries of rigid mental training have masked his feelings, making him imperturable in trouble, stoical in pain or death. He looks upon cowardice as the most despicable of vices, and loyalty—particularly to his emperor and his country—as the supreme virtue. Thus he gets his pride of race and his near-fanatical patriotism. He is cocky, confident and quite satisfied with himself. He is usually truthful—except when the truth hurts. tt tt tt THE Jap lives in the most densely populated country on the globe, but there are great arable areas therein open to him if he would go. However, he doesn’t like the cold climate of the northern islands, which corresponds to that of New England. He prefers the warmth, the sunshine and the cherry blossoms of his “Flowery Kingdom,” even though that area is crowded. As an emigrant, the Japanese thrives in countries where the standard of living is higher than his own, but he doesn’t do so well where the standard is lower. He is a hard worker, a careful spender. He has never forgotten the blow

Steel Operators Keeping Eye on Far East Strife By United Press GARY, Ind., Feb. 6.—Steel mill operators of the Calumet district are closely watching daily reports from the Far East where Japanese and Chinese armies are clashing. If war should be declared, observers point out, it is likely that this section would become a major source of fighting supplies.

Plants in this vicinity manufactured nearly all the basic war materials, steel, copper products, chemicals, railroad cars, TNT, cement and articles of silver, tin, zinc and aluminum. Although powder is not made here, it was produced during the last war in a hastily erected plant. It is reported, unauthoritatively, that owners of some of the large industries have completed plans to convert their plants on a moment’s notice into factories to make war supplies.

Japanese View of War By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 6.—Rye O’Hara, who despite his Irish name is a Japanese, and the only hand decorator of furniture employed in Evansville, declares his country is not making war on China as a whole, but on Chinese anarchists.

GRAY MAY BE ASPIRANT AGAIN FORMNGRESS Connersville Man Who Opposed Gift to Gride, Makes Inquiries. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—Word has reached Washington that former Representative Gray of Connersville may seek the Democratic nomination for congress in the new Tenth Indiana district this summer. Gray, a tall, colorful figure of the old spell-binder school, possessing a long white mane and a glib tongue, served in congress as representative from the old Sixth district during the Wilson administration. The report that he may attempt to return to Washington started a few days ago when several Indiana Democratic representatives received letters from Gray seeking information of a political nature. In his letters Gray asked about the income, from outside sources, of President Hoover and of Secretary Mellon, and also about the extent of the Mellon-controlled interests. Very obviously Gray was seeking material for an anti-Republican speech. More Inquiries Inquiries of the same nature have been received from Walter R. Myers, attorney and World war veteran. Although neither Gray nor Myers has announced his intentions, it is believed here that they will toss their hats into the ring beside that | of Clarence A. Jackson, Newcastle, j former state commander of the | American Legion. Jackson announced his candidacy several days ago. Hoosiers here also expect Claude Ball, Muncie, to enter the race. Ball was the Democratic nominee in the old Eighth district in 1930. He lost by nine votes to Al- | bert H. Vestal, Republican, filed ! notice that he would contest VesItal’s election and later dropped the ' contest much to the disgust of the | Democratic leaders in the house. An abundance of candidates in the new Tenth district is to be I expected in view of the circum- ; stances. The redistricting left the Tenth the only district without a seated representative. It was carved out of portions of the old Eighth and the old Sixth districts. It is almost a universal rule that more candidates are lured into an open field than into a fight to oust an incumbent. Although the names of four prospective Democratic candidates are mentioned, there have been no suggestion as to aspirants for the Re- ; publican nomination. This is peculiar in light of the fact that the new district is preponderantly Republican. Opposed Bridal Gift " Gray is the only one of the four prospective candidates mentioned who is known in Washington. He is remembered particularly and none too favorably for a speech he made in the house. Invitations had been sene for an elaborate White House wedding. One of Woodrow Wilson’s daughters was the prospective bride. A committee of Democratic representatives had been collecting contributions for a wedding gift. Gray arose on the house floor, said that he had been approached by the committee, denounced the procedure as an attempt on the part of the chief executive to intimidate congress, and with a grandiose gesture waved a $5 bill in the air declaring he would contribute it to Washington charity, but would give ‘‘not one red cent” for a President’s daughter. Nevertheless, the committee went ahead and bought a tea service for the bride. Whether Gray ever donated the $5 to Washington charity is not remembered. Aged Slayer Convicted By Times Special ROCKPORT, Ind., Feb. 6.—-Wil-liam L. Taylor, 70, wealthy Posey county farmer, faces a prison term of two to twenty-one years for killing his son, John Taylor, 36.
