...Japanese hates war in general, and the present war in China in particular, more passionately than Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, Japan's No. 1 Christian. The war has stalled Kagawa's co-operative enterprises, has almost completely halted sales of the many books from which he financed his work and his modest home life. Last Christmas U. S. Christians raised $1,000 as a gift to the myopic, soft-faced little Japanese. Last week Miss Helen Faville Topping, Dr. Kagawa's devoted American amanuensis, was circulating among his friends a poem, To Tears, which he wrote to voice...
...undeniably rising. Wisconsin passed a law last year requiring courses in co operation in colleges, high schools and normal schools. That old Boston cooperator, Edward A. Filene, recently gave $1,000,000 to assist the establishment of co-op department stores. Japan's No. 1 Christian, Cooperator Toyohiko Kagawa, completed a triumphal tour of the U. S. a fortnight ago, preaching the gospel of co-operation to hundreds of thousands of rapt churchmen (TIME, July 6). The Kansas City Star was already warning the country that a co-operative system would be the "next New Deal rabbit...
...down the land for the past six months, crossing and recrossing his path, has gone Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, No. 1 Christian of Japan. Nearly turned away from the U.

He traveled with a doctor, declined to shake hands with anyone, never entered a private home, made sure that linen and table utensils were sterilized after he used them. Last week Kagawa was in good...
Many an observer who recalled that Kagawa visited the U. S. in 1931 without causing inordinate excitement credited much of the success of his latest tour to his sponsors, mostly liberal evangelical churchmen, who did able advance work in stirring up church interest wherever the little yellow man was booked. Before Kagawa had traveled very far, many people heard that his messages, mostly about "the love principle of Christ," were almost incomprehensible, delivered with a squeaky voice in a heavy Japanese accent. Nevertheless, out of sheer curiosity many a citizen obtained a free ticket...
Chief ministerial antagonist of Dr. Kagawa was Dr. J. Frank Norris, blatant Baptist who called him a Communist, held rival meetings when the gentle Japanese was in Rochester last April, tried to get the Southern Baptist Convention to scratch him as a guest speaker last month (TIME, June i). Because Dr. Kagawa has sponsored seven kinds of successful cooperative movements in Japan and because he expounded them wherever he found listeners in the U. S., some businessmen professed to be alarmed. Warned Tide, advertising monthly: "What Dr. Kagawa and his cohorts mean to advertising in the long view is more...
