X Of Jap; It. Davis Tells . lanese Life and People (Continued From Page One) sians. Only one small section of the island empire had any show of Japanese who were af fected by the Russian influence, this was in sections along the Sea of Japan where former war prisoners of the Russians were located. Here there were two classes, one that of the Jap war prisoners who in their stay in Korea, Russian held, had been trained as students vith the purpose of infiltrating . their many Japs that had returned to their native land from the United States just before the opening of World War II. or in the early forties, when they fig-' urea Japan as a winner, now they would give an arm or leg to be back in the United States but knew it was impossible. Irrigation was at a high stand ard in Japan where there was much of the land that requires much water, owing to the rice fields. One of the things that had Impressed the young American officer was the fact that the highest class Japanese lived far more in want than the poorest of the American families in this part of the nation. It was pointed out by the Understand Welfare Problems Now I legal notices native land with communistic speaker in rply to questions, doctrines, the other that of the Japs that had been held as slaves in the Russian mines and other industries in occupied Korea. On the return of one boatload of the students to Ja pan, they had started to form a revolt that was soon settled by General MacArthur . and the students made to realize that they were not free to spread their Red teachings. In observations of Japan and its people, Lt. Davis pointed out that the art of the country was largely that which they had cop ied from the Chinese. One of the features of the country that had impressed the American of ficer, was the fact of the trans portation system of Japan, no trains were late, they were al ways on time, no matter what might interfere, you could de- pend on the train leaving on schedule even if it caused hu man sacrifices to get the trains underway. Speaking of roads, Lt. Davis stated that the streets in the cities were very good, compara ble with Europe or the United States, but in the rural sections they were far from good and travel on them was uncertain. Speaking of air travel, the speaker stated that this was one of the great dangers to the oc cupation forces, as the weather and fog made flight difficult and several had been killed by the planes crashing into the moun tains that were numerous over the islands. Lt. Davis said the Japanese were baseball mad, their idols were, first Budda, then the em peror and then Babe Ruth. Crowds at the games in the cities would be from 75,000 to ftl00,000. The men of the coun try would flock to the baseball games, large or small, while the women would do the work, tell ing of the aged Japanese women whq had carried bundles of from 100 to 200 pounds on their back and when fifty or sixty years of age were so bent that they were unable to straighten up. One of the features the speak er did not enjoy was the earth quakes of the country, one about every three weeks and varying in their intensity and force. Speaking of the earthquakes, Lt. Davis stated that the rats would rush from their holes as the earth commenced to shake, also that the number of rats in the house was a hall mark of the family standing, if one had 15 rats, they were regarded as wealthy, while only one would mean that the family was not in tr.e upper strata, the number of rats indicating that the house hold had plenty of food. The American forces found that if it were not for the Amer ican occupation forces, that Ja pan would soon be as dominated by Russia as was the northern portion of Korea. The Japs had no way of military defense against a foe as their weapons had been taken from them and only an occasional pistol or sword could be found. The meeting was presided over by President Orville Nielsen with the musical program in charge of John E. Frady and E. H. Wes cott. A visiting Rotarian was Neil Deitrich of Lincoln and guests were Frank J. Davis of Broken Bow, guest of Searl S. Davis and Frank H. Smith, guest of Clem ent Woster.
