MILITARISM HAS
TRIUMPHED IN JAPAN
Far Eastern Situation Has Become
the Real Problem for Amer
lea to Solve.

United Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, March 29.-With
the Okuma government overwhelm-
fngly endorsed by the Japanese, the
far eastern situation has become the
real problem for the United States to
solve
Official figures given out by the
Japanese embassy here showed today
that Count Okuma can figure on 213
votes in the new house, against 167
In opposition. or the latter, 81 are
independents who will vote with the
government on many vital Issues.
Officials here realize that the result
is a triumph OF militarism.
Under the constitution, the en-
peror must call the parliamentary sas-
sion before May %, but officials here
say it probably will assemble within
fortnight.
Despite reports that japan has
made additional demands on China,
designed still further to interfere
with the "open door," there has been
no reply to American representations
made a fortnight ago. Ambassador
Guthrie has been assured by the
.Iapsnese foreign minister that
Japan's intentions toward China were
friendly. but official assurances are
lacking.
II is believed by officials here that
Japan will reopen the California land
problem so that 1t will have some
thing to trade on as negotiations pro-
gress.
