We are glad to notice such signs of the growth
of a friendly spirit between Japan and the United States as may he deduced from Asia at the Door (Fleming H. Revell Co., 6s. net), by Kiyoshi K. Kawakami. This study of the Japanese question in the United States and Canada is written with great moderation and good feeling, and is in itself a strong plea for the more kindly treatment of Japanese immigrants. In a short but striking preface Mr. Doremus Scudder urges that Japanese should be allowed to become naturalized citizens of the United States, and declares that " the question can be treated by Christian America only in one way."—By Nippon's Lotus Ponds (same publishers, 3s. 6d. net) is a pleasant little book in which Mr. Matthias Klein gives his reminiscences of missionary work in Japan.
