Jap Women at Conference
Create Good Impressions
*Washington Feels Island Empire Has Rights
as Progressive Nation .
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By CONSTANCE DBEXEL
WASHINGTON, Not. 23.—Here in
"Washington wo have come to look upon
the Japanese not as strangers whom we
could never expect to understand, but
as a people whom we would welcome into
the family in what we call progressive
nation*. Terhaps no single factor has
more potentially contributed to this at
titude than the arrival of two Japanese
women on the stage set for the Wash
ington conference. One of them, Madame
Xajlma, has already left to go back to
Japan after many honors and public ap
pearance* here.
EDI'CATED IN
UNITED STATES.
But Madame Hideko Inouye has only
Just arrived, straight from her home
In Toklo. Although married to the busi
ness man who owns a rubber planta
tion In the Malay Peninsula and the
mother of three children, she Is the dean
of the domestic science department of
the Japanese women's college which has
an enrollment of 2,000 students. In prep
arations for a teacher s career, Madame
Inouye spent two years at teachers col
lege of Columbia University about a doz
en years ago. Both she and Madame Yn-
Jlm'a belong to the high class grour
known as Samurai.
Madame Inouye is in this country on a
double mission. She comes as the special
envoy of the Japanese woman’s peace
society of which she is chairman and has
already presented their message of en
couragement to Secretary of State
kllughes, and she Is also here to make a
Purvey of women's higher educational in
stitutions with particular attention, paid
to whether the co educational system is
wise or not. She expects to continue
this -array of educational facilities for
women in Europe and will sail early this
spring, when she will be joined by her
husland.
While in Washington, she is a guest at
the Grace Dodge Hotel, that new hotel
for women recently opened by the
national board of the T. W. C. A., which
Is proving such a boom to women visiting
Washington for the conference.
WEARS AMERICAN
COSTUMES.
When I met her In the charming re
ception room there her small Japanese
figure was clothed in such anew, smart
lookin* blue cloth dress, braided with
black am. with a touch of silver buttons,
that I coJld not help but ask if she had
stopped In San Francisco to buy some
Parlsian-American clothing.
"Indeed no,” she replied, in correct
but rather halting English. "I had this
made Just before leaving Tokio. But 1
have a lot of Japanese clothing with
me and one day I will put on my kimono
and invite you to a real Japanese tea
party.”
AS THE WORLD
SEES JAPAN.
Feminine exchange over clothes being
ont of the way I asked Mine. Inouye
to prepare a statement which would
visualize conditions In Japanese so that
Americans might understand that coun
try better. This is It:
“The world sees Japan as a nation
which has profited by the war. It Is
true that on the surface she has seen
great material advancement, but In the
thoughts and minds of the people there
)have been great struggles. The Ideas
of 3,000 years are being broken down
and changed and the old simplicity of
life Is gone.
“The high cost of living has brought
about great distress all over the world,
but In Japan prices are now higher than
in any other country. Commerce Is In
active, imports being much larger than
exports. Not only is there no sign of
prices coming down; they even show a
tendency to rise still higher. Vet the
government It spending 48 pee cent of
Its income on armaments.
SPENDS TOO MUCH
fOR AH MAM EXT.
“In the face of such a fact as {his, is
it strange that oar cultural life is full
of contradictions? All educational and
social institutions have been affected by
the Gove-nment’s economies for the sake
of armaments. The National Hospital’s
fuel supply has been cut; schools all over
the country have suffered for lack of
buildings, equipment and teachers.
“As long as the burdens of armaments
continue to rest upon Japan, mental
agitation tad financial difficulty will re
main. We women and mothers can not
pass over this fact. We demand that
armaments be reduced to a minimum, and
that the v. ij saved be used for things
more urgent and important for the safety
anl happiness of our disturbed national
life.
“I wish to detach myself and look
at Japan as the world looks at her. We
see Japanese under the Influence of her
elder showing strong millta
• ristic tendencies. Yet the militaristic
Idea is not peculiar to Japan, ’t was
a common Idea !n the nineteenth century
In many countries and the whole his
tory of China in the nineteenth century
is a history of the aggression of for
.eign powers. But now, in the civilized
rrrorld, militarism is giving way to lib
eralism and Imperialism to democracy.
JAPAN UNDERGOING
CHANGES.
"Japan Is changing, as In other na
tions so In Japan, the same progress to
anew plane of thought Is taking place.
The modern, liberal Japanese, especially
the Japanese women, are seing the new
ideas influencing the whole nation.
“it wondered what influence or knowl
edge Japanese women can have without
political rights. In reply I would say
that even In Japan the Influence on wom
en Is very great, though exerted Indi
rectly through husband or son.
“Japan is a little country of 5.010
square miles, but has a population of 00,-
000,0©). We are therefore dependent on
foreign countries for food and clothing.
The territory open to Japanese immigra
tion is becoming more and more limited:
everywhere the Japanese are finding
signs, ‘No admission to Japanese.’ and so
they are put out into their own terri
tory.
“Even though It be some detect of
weakness in the Japanese character which
has brought them to this pass, yet theirs
is still the right to live Some offer aa a
solution the limitation of the birth rate
In Japan. This Is no better than encour
aging a starving man to commit suicide.
All the human race are beloved children
of God and all have a common right to
live. As mothers whose life is to nourish
life and as women whose faith is In the
supremacy of love, we cannot permit such
a solution of the problem as this.
“We hope for a better solution. Even
as men In times of distress lose clearness
of thought and harmony of spirit so na
tions in time of distress often lose all
common sense.
When the men who lead the nation be
come distressed and uneasy it is for the
women to preserve their sense and up
iheld the Ideal of permanent peace.
“Even great statesmen have been led
in times of excitement to bel'eve and
say what is utterly false. Wc must guard
against falsehood.
’ We women are ordained by God to be
the mothers, the guardians and the nour
ishers of the human race. But war is
the destroyer of the human race—of
nsen-’vlives and of the civilization which
men have developed.
“We earnestly hope that the powers !
which have come to the disarmamnet
conference will negotiate their business
frankly and openly. In a spirit of mo
tual trust and willingness to compromise,
and will thus attain to the great goal.”
I told Madame Inouye that I thought
Americans would t>e niterested in knowing
to what religion Japan was turning. She
replied:
THREE FORMS
OF RELIGION.
“We have now three forms of religions
widely spread in Japan. They are Shln
tosun, our old traditional religion, Budd
hism and Christianity. But I might add
that our most liberal minded, ultra-mod
ern men and women who are trying to
cull the best from all the world's ex
perience, havo made a deep study of all
three religions and have found that all
have the same basic theories about one
supreme force or God and about the
brotherhood of the human races and love
of man for man as the foundabon of life.”
Madame Inouye will speak before a
great many audiences both In Washington
and other cities later on, thus familiariz
ing American people with their sister na
tions across the Pacific. As the con
ference is developing, with its discussions
of Far Eastern questions, It Is becom
ing perfectly natural to think of both
China and Japan as our next door neigh
bors.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger
