Wheat Director Says: The rapid strides which Japan is making toward adoption of West ern civilization find expression in an agitation to let women have more to say about the selection of hus bands. Today such matters are al most entirely in the hands of par ents, who select husbands for their daughters, who obediently marry whomever they pick out.
