Miss Grace Macphaih who has had long .experience in the Far East, holds that the Japanese are aspiring towards world supremacy./ * ‘Love of their country,” she said in a lecture in Sydney, last week, “is the strongest passion in the Japanese character, and it is love of country which will make them try to overcome the white race.” She illustrated the progress that was taking place in Japan; but. it was apparent there was one unsympathetic listener in the audience. “Fifty years ago,” Miss Macphail continued, “woman- had no place in Japan outside the home.” “And a good job, too,” a male voice interjected, under cover of the darkness of the hall, a remark which was greeted by unchivalrous laughter from the remainder of the audience.
