to six months. By early in 1938, at latest, they envisioned an abject surrender of the Chinese, and after that, holding all manner of concessions and trade privileges, Japan was quickly to wax richer and greater—particuly richer—while China’s' uncounted millions worked for a pittatice producing raw materials for Japan and spent most of that pittance buying the products of Japan’s humming factories. But the reality turned out to be shockingly different from the dream, and disillusionment was bitter. Triumphing on a thousand bloody battlefields brought no victory. The Japanese factories that were to have been flooding the Chinese market are closed and silent, or if their chimneys are smoking it is because they are engaged upon essential war ‘orders.

necessities are rationed. The drain of the army upon the nation’s manpower has brought about a serious shortage of labor. Wages have risen, but prices have risen even more rapidly.

Nearly every phase of the life of every Japanese is feeling the effects of the war. Life is harder, pleasures are fewer, luxuries are banned, clothing is shoddy, food is rationed, amusements are curtailed. Such | intellectual and political freedom as the Japanese once enjoyed is now a thing of the past, and even religion is feeling the baneful effects of this long struggle. Japan, as a nation, is feeling the pinch.

Strategically, Japan is in a wulnerable and dangerous position, in spite of her early quick successes. Her armies, the bulk of her available manpower, are strung out along a front, in China alone, of more than 2800 miles. Her positions in the Philippines, in Malaya, in Thailand and in French Indo-China would have real value only if the United States and Britain lose the war. Once the tide of battle begins to flow against Japan, these outposts which make such fine headlines in the Tokyo newspapers, will become frightful liabilities. To lull the people at home, to make them forget the pinch of the painfully tightening national belt, Japan's leaders are resorting mainly to phrases and promises. The phrases include two which are old and meaningless— “our immutable policies” and

“our sacred mission.” But there

is a new phrase now widely popular with diplomats, military leaders, official spokesmen and the strictly controlled Japanese press: “It goes without saying.” “It goes without saying,” the

After more than four years of warfare it is all too evident that the nation’s resources have been seriously depleted, and still there is no victory in sight. It goes without saying that the people of Japan are becomipg restive under these depressing conditions. Rice, the staple food of Japan, is now entirely controlled by the government, acting through the Imperial Agricultural Societies and the Japan Rice Company, which are government-controlled. No longer will city dwellers have any basis for complaints that the farmers eat more than their share of rice, for all land owners and tenant farmers must sell their rice to goveryment agencies. Heretofore, land owners living in cities have filled their store rooms with rice, while farmers have withheld from sale ample stocks for family use. This is no longer tolerated. All rice goes into the hands of government agencies, at fixed prices, and farmers and land owners have to buy such quantities as the rationing system permits them to have. ” s ”

Food Prices Fixed

WEEK-END ‘rice eating festivals” in the country are banned. None but official shipments from prefecture to prefecture are permitted, and farmers may no longer send bales of this staple food to sons and daughters in cities or in universities. “Presents” of rice are also. banned, for it has been discovered that many of these so-called gifts were really illegal sales at prices higher than the government scale. So serious is the food shortage that the government has ruled that sumptuous meals are forbidden. Hotels and restaurants may never, ‘under any condition, serve a meal that costs more than five yen. An attempt was made to encourage the use of wheat flour as g substitute for rice, but immediately prices of breads and pastries increased so fabulously that the government ordered price reductions of from 30 to 40 per cent. In an effort to check the rise

in prices of .fruit and vegetables |

the government has forbidden middlemen to. handle these products, and vendors arg limited to a 10 per cent profit. The result was that prices dropped sharply —but so did the supplies of these foods reaching the large cities. Now it is ordered that the twentysecond day of each month, the nation over, shall be a “fruitless day.” + It goes without saying that luxury foods are strictly controlled. No restaurant, hotel nor shop may sell more than two kinds of cake, and the price has been. officially cut from twenty to eight sen per cake. So with coffee—no person may have more than one demitasse per day, and the price has been slashed from thirty to fif--teen sen per cup. Result—cakes are small and unpalatable, and the coffee would be sniffed with incredulity in Java and Brazil.
