TERAUCH| HIT

OSAKA, Japan, Sept. 3.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press.)-
The trend Of democracy In japan Is
discussed in leading article by the
Osaka Mainichi, which questions the
policy Of the Terauchi Cabinet because
it Is Eager for the preservation OF
clan and bureaucratic influence"
For our part" the paper says, I'VE
believe in a possibility of the harmon
ious existence side by side of mon
archy and democracy in Japan. The
Throne has made clear to the
people that democratic principles
should be made the basis OF admins
tration. In these circumstances there
is no need for the surprise which
seems to be evinced by Count Ter
auchi and other bureaucrats at the
news Of the Russian revolution.
Great Britain, Japan's ally, the
United States, Russia, as we'll as
China, are all countries Of democratic.
sympathies, and so there is no justi-
fable cause for fear If democratic
ideas have caught hold Of the jap
anese people. Even in German YER
table stronghold of militarists and
Observation-Disclosures appears to be

The newspaper concludes: Not
withstanding the general tendency in
the world in favor of democracy, the
Terauchi Cabinet, which is eager for
the preservation of clan ard bureau
cratic influence, seems bent upon
checking the growth of democratic
ideas, contrary to the general current
of thought throughout the world. Even
the leaders of political parties pro-
Tossing democratic sympathies do not
hesitate to bow their heads of bureau
cracy. The position of democracy in
Japan. therefore, may we'll be i'm

government In attempting to stem the
rising tide Of democracy Is open to
