For the premier problem of Japan of this year of grace 1921 is quite as elementary and as elemental as all that: Japan wants, first of all, enough food for her empty stomachs-the empty stomachs which are increasing at the rate of 700,000 a year. The total area of Japan proper is 148,756 square miles. There are 55,960,000 souls on this area today according to the figures of the census just completed, nearly 400 people to a square mile. The single State of California has 155,652 square miles and her population in 1920 was put at 3,426,536, about 22 to a square mile.
