TOXIC, SnY. 81. Field Marshal
TcrRuchi's most persistent political
enemies admit that he has built up a
cabinet which contains at least Two
Of the strong men or the empire.
They arc Eiscount Ichiro Motono. the
new minister for foreign affairs and
Baron Shimpei Goto, Japans great
medico-s statesman. who has been desig-
mated minister of the interior.
OF the remaining members Of the
cabinet several are very we'll known to
the Japanese though less prominent
abroad Three Of them are members
OF the House of Peers from which body

tons on the part of all the people for
the effecting of reforms in all depart
nents of national life. The members
from the House Of Peers nre huron
Kenjiro Don. the new ministeEfof edus-
cation: Kiyoshi Nakashoii. the minister
of commerce and agriculture, and
Ryohei#O kada who holds the portfolio
Of education General Kenichi Oshima

ministers Of army and navy respective
lily, have been brought over from the
outgoing Okuma ministry
The keenest interest exists through
out Japan as to whether the ministry
Will be able successfully to weather the
coming session of the diet on account
Of the apparent total lack OF support
in the House of Representatives, The
attitude OF the newly organized ma
iority or constitutional party under
Viscount Takaaki Kato is understood
to be hostile K Hara. the head Of the
seiyukai or minority party, has an
nounced his position as a sort Of ben
eyolent neutrality. He said: our
party will hold an absolutely neutral
position butt will give its supportato
anything that ls in the interests OF the
public and agrees with the principles
OF our party. Fl q Went on I'VE must

AS for the new cabinet we must OBJ
serve Its policy, adniring what is to6be
admired and attacking when attack is
deserved. The most important thing
lis 5tO foster patriotic natfonalism for
the sake of the nation and the people"
The fact that Viscount Motono was
one Of the trainers Of the Russo-JaD-
anese alliance while ambassador at
Petrograd and the belief that Count
Terauchi himself has strong Russian
synpathies has led many friends Of the
Ang1o-JapRnese alliance to fear that
the support of the new ministry vii
be thrown primarily in putting into
effect the Russian al liance as against
the British. It's remarked that Count
.Ternuchl is the preside of the Russo
Japanese society and that Baron soto.
the new minister OF the interior ls
the vice president.
As to the policy Of the new cabinet
towards the United States great sat
