JAPAN'S DIET DISSOLVED

Measure Proposed by the s.
Government.

TOXIC, December 2j.-The imperial
diet was dissolved today. The house
of representatives rejected the army
expansion measures proposed by the
government. This led to the dissolu-
ton of the house.
The closing session of the house was
dramatic in the extreme The debate ex-
tended all through the day and on into
the night. The house was unable to COM
pose it's differences, and there was no
sign that the debate was approaching its
end, when, shortly before 10 o'clock, it
was announced that Emperor Yoshihite
lad exercised his royal prerogative. dis
solving the diet.
Considerable opposition developed in
the house of representatives to the
budget for 1915, which showed an esti-
mated expenditure of 556.000,00O yen
(S27s.OoO.0OO) and a decrease of the
revenues of $40,500.OoO. Recent dis
patches from Toxic have stated that
there was good reason to believe that
unless the house adopted the budget it
would be dissolved by the emperor.
The Merchants Association, and Baron
Shibusawa, president of the American
Japanese Association. and Buei Nakano,
president of the Toxic Chamber of Com
merce, took steps few days ago to urge
the diet and cabinet to reach a COM
promise in the hope of preventing dis
