ereasing both in number and complexity. They have no Labour movement-as the term is generally understood in the Old World-but the general aim is legislative solution of these problems.

Generally speaking, it may be said that neither Factory Acts nor International Labour Conferences have had any great effect upon industrial conditions in Japan. That wages are higher and hours are fewer than was the case twenty, or even ten, years ago is the result neither of paternal legislation nor of solid' and `ng- gressive labour organisation, neither is it due to moral suasion exerted upon em ployers by humanitarian social reformers. Such changes of industrial conditions as have taken place in Japan have just happened," but this mode of social pro3 gress is altogether too erratie and uni balanced in operation to be accepted as 'a permanent institution. It may not be long before there is a real "' labour moyo. ment" in Japan-a movement effectively organised, having a dearly defined objec

Yet, te- spite this long, though incomplete. list of mere negations, the workers in Japan. Are keenly aware of their grievances, and almost as keenly determined, upon find. ing a remedy. The manuer in which the search for a solution of Japan's „labour problems proceda will depend very large ly upon the attitude of the "Administra- tion, If it takes its courage" in both hands and permits of free discussion among the Japanese of questions which are openly and harmlessly delated in most civilised countries, there will be less likelihood of the Labour movement in Japan being driven headlong in the direc tion in which some fear it is already

Tracing the evolution of man and diet, Dr. Campbell said that one was ant to picture early may as surtounded by a pro- fusion of sweet tasting seeds and ipcious fruits as living in a very Eden of plenty, where abundance of delicate food was to be had for the mere trouble of gather ing it.
