The proprietor, Mr. 1. Tokutorui, has now “incorporated the magazine, so to speak, in the Kokumin Shimbun,” in which an “international department’' has since the beginning of September been inserted daily for the benefit of foreign readers. This depart inent is written chief ly in English, though articles are occa sionally published in the other European tongues. Perhaps the most striking fea ture of the innovation is the insertion of notes written in Japanese, but printed in the Roman characters. “This,” says the Kokumin Shimbun “may possibly turn out to be a step to ward the general adoption of Roman let ters for writing our language—an innova- I tion certainly desirable from various points of view, but attended by very seri ous difficulties.” The experiment will be watched with interest by all who favor closer intercourse between rhe far east and the nations of the west.—London Times CASTOXI.XA.
