"You Need Not Fear

Japan"

American Journalist is Outspoken

ANOTHER letter is to hand from Mr.

Marc T. Greene, that world-wander mg American journalist who specia lises in foreign affairs. During the past two or three years,, he has written to the “P.1.M.” from all parts of the world — South America, Greece, Central Africa, Siberia. Recently, he has been in the Far East, and in and out among the Dutch East Indies. Writing from Soura bay a on July 18, he expresses emphatic disagreement with the opinions expressed in the “P.1.M.” regarding the Japanese menace: “I do not believe that you need con cern yourself much more over Japan. If she comes out of this China business with out being broken altogether she will be too weakened to be any menace to any one for a long time to come, if ever again.

I hear, here, the amazing stories of the hardships of life in Japan now for the masses, and it is getting worse all the time.

“I do not in the least agree with you on Willard Price’s stuff. I think it is absolute rot. He sacrifices facts, accuracy, everything, to the dollar quest and getting books out about every three months. He is also much on the Japanese side. I do not thjnk his stuff is sound at all,, and I reckon to know a little about Japan my self.”
