Byas was born in Scotland, has his early training on Scottish country newspaper, and joined the staff of the London Times in 1909. Five years later he went to Tokyo to edit the Japan Advertiser, and independent American daily. He remained there all through World War I, when Japan was America’s ally, and until 1922. At that time he went back to London; but four years later he returned to Tokyo as correspondent for the London Times, and the following year became representative of The New York Times as well. When he left Tokyo in April 1941, on the second-last mail steamer, he was dean of the foreign correspondents in that city, and had seen their number grow from the original three to more than sixty, half of whom were Germans. Mr. Byas returned to the United States in May 1941 and in 1942 published his highly informative book on Japanese society, The Japanese Enemy. He died in 1945.показать меньше
