Toxic. March 28.--The result OF the
general election shows a landslide for
the ministerial side. Not counting
nine members whose votes still remain
unopened. the following is the align
ment of the members just elected:
On the ministerial side the Doshikai
has 148 members, the Chuseikai "a and
the new group Of Okuma supporters
81.
On the opposition the Seiyukai has
los and the Kokuminto 81.
The independents number 81.
The above gives to the Okuma Cabi-
net the prospect of securing the lower
house by a majority of between 20 and
so. The Seiyukai. which formed the
mainstay of the Opposition and COM
manded the majority in the House at
the time of its dissolution. has not
only dwindled in number. but some Of
its prominent leaders, such as Mr.. Ooka
and Mr.. Oku, both once Speaker OF
the House, have been defeated. while
Mr.. Ozaki. Minister Of Justice, has
scored a record breaking victory in
polling S,432 votes.
Among the causes given for the de-
feat Of the Seiyukai are the despotlc
control il commanded for many years
in the House of Representatives. its
policy of nominating former repre-
sentative, thus obstructing the en-
trance Of new men. and the fact that
the party had no definite platform TO
combat the ministerial party.
On the other hand, Count Okuma
aroused the enthusiasm of the people
and enlisted their sympathy. The Pre-
mi struck the keynote when he said
in one of his campaign speeches. I'VE

ors have to bear this in mind
The election opens a new chapter in
the history of Japanese constitutional
development.

"egg kings" who planned to gar
ner financial harvest by selling
their goods to the allies at war
time prices are wig-wagging to
the public for help. The allies
did not buy as had been expected.
Hence the "egg kings have
been caught with a surplus, COM
plicated by prospects of mild
winter, which promises to make
the hens lay more than usual. In
"a cold storage plants there are
over a billion eggs, or ten apiece
for everybody in the United States.
Unless the housewives come to
their rescue and buy storage
goods, several of the egg brokers
will face financial ruin
