"
In order to solve the water shortage problem once and for all, the authorities of the Kobe, the Nishinomiya and the Amagasak Muni- cipalities. In concert with adjacent town and village offices. drew up a scheme to lay a water-main to the Yodogawa. In the name of the Hanshin Water Association, they submitted a formal application to the Osaka Prefectural Office in November last asking for permission to tap the Yodogawa's water. The Osaka prefectural authorities. after consultation with the Osaka City Water and the other parties concerned, came to the conclusion that they could supply nearly
290,000 cubic metres to the Association.
Accordingly the Hanshin. Association will start"a Y22,000,000" construction scheme. Originally the work was to be stretched over eight years but it may be completed in three or four years. Dr. Sakamoto, who is responsible for the scheme, is confident that by 1940 the supply will be adequate to meet the needs of half a million.

Wrong View Of Japan
A mlid complaint at foreign representations of Japan and the Japanese was voiced by one Japanese delegate to the Conference when, at the conclusion of a paper by an American teacher, he asked why American schools give such a distorted and incorrect picture of Japan.
When he was in the United States, he said, he saw a text-book have forgotten' that there is a with a picture of à "geisha" titled "A typical Japanese woman. "He disposition amongst some peoples wrote to the publishers of the book, but never received an explana-

The inore Bri-. tain gives in to Japan the more will Japan violate those, inter- nationally recognised rights, of natiouals of non-combatant coun- tries. It is no use waiting until after the event. Prevention is: better than cure.
Dr. John Rétgart (New York) in answer said that Americans relied on newspaper and magazine interpretations of Japan, while there were several private organizations which interested themselves In the advancement of cultural knowledge.
