Mr. A Morgan Young, the author of the book here reviewed, was connected with the "Japan Chronicle," published in Kobe, from 1912 to 1936, being the editor of that well-known newspaper from 1922. He was to have returned to Japan from England as correspondent for the "Manchester Guardian, but was prevented from doing so on account of being for-hidden entry to the country by the Japanese authorities. Although it must be admitted that this may have to a certain extent antagonized him, it cannot alter the fact that he must be considered an authority on Japan and her policies as a result of his twenty-four years' sojourn in the country occupying a position that must by its very nature have placed him in close touch with what was transpiring there.
