A distinguished Parsee lady told' the write some years ago that Japanese art was only a

The following open letter has been addressed to Mr. Eugene Chen by Mr. Edward S. Little, a well known resident in China and an old friend of the Canton Foreign Minister i Dear Mr. Chen, As one of your, though your people here treat us old friends and a sincere well wisher of China I address you this letter I am sincerely anxious for the pre sent and future welfare of this my adopted comtry and it is entirely in this spirit that I address you." -Chin chiar to be a divilized country and to be on an equality with other nations.

, I wonder if you realize that whilst the bulk of your countrymen may bold the same views, as to the revi« sion of the treaties and so on, they are disgusted at the methods you are adopting. The unfortunate thing is that you have tied yourselves up to lawless Russian Bolsheviks, who are leading you by the nose to commit dastardly deeds which have alienated the whole world from them.

Japanese art is exquisitely fine and has a parti- cular charm of its own, but the artists of the Ming and Ching Dynasties were the true farrunners of such men as Augustus John and the saner school of impressionista. They realised to perfection the im | portance of every small detail of their pictures not only harmonising, and being in perfect balance sa re- gards chairoscuro-mass and colour, but expressing the same emotion. Take for example the long panel called "Enjoying a cup of tea Aling Dynasty, 1488-1518; the moun“, tainous landscape with the two tiny figures, painted in tones of buff with touches of palcst green, gives an extraordinary sense of peace and contentment,g-

Is This Your Civilisation? At the moment there are hundreds of innocent men, women and child- ren, citizens of friendly Powers, who are fleeing from all the territory under Nationalist control.
