According to a letter which The
Times publishes from a correspondent
at Toxic a cabinet crisis occurred in
November, due to the refusal of the
Progressists to vote an increase in the
land tax, which is necessary, owing to
the deficits caused by the late war.
Parliament would have expired next
June, and the Progressists, with a gem
eral election in sight, did not desire
to risk unpopularity by voting to in
crease taxation.
However, Count Olluma, the leader
of the Progressists, left the foreign
office, says the correspondent, with an
enhanced reputation, and next to Count
Ito occupies the largest space in the
field of the nations vision.
The Times commenting editorially or
this letter and its dispatches says;
THE advent of a cabinet led by two
such statesmen as Marquis Ito and
Count Okuma may be regarded as an
event of great significance by the other
powers"
