position of the council of the empire or

in the council to block the national as
sembly, should the majority of the lat

The government carefully retains the
power to promulgate temporary laws
during recesses of the Parliament, and as
the Parliament is subject to dissolution
by imperial ukase. the government is thus
in a position in time of stress to rid itself
such laws as it deems necessary to meet
the emergency.
A feature OF the law which seems to
effectually bar reds from membership
