URGENT E E OF
EDUCATION SHOWN
BY RECENT ELECTION

Toxic, June 4.-That the results Of
the recent election which gave q ma
jority to the government parties show
the urgent needs of the education Of
the people in politics is the opinion
of Yukio Ozaki, Japan's great pro-
gressive who has been laboring for
constitutional progress.
In an interview he declared that the
elections convinced him that, under
the present election law in Japan,
is moro powerful than speech,
and h a this means that every patri-
otto Japanese must strive for the re-
vision of the election law.
Mr.. Ozaki is quoted as charging the
government with resorting to corrupt
practices. He added: ut Is strange
that while our people know we'll that
II they steal secret maps from the
general staff Office and sell them to
foreign agents they are committing
a serious treachery against their
try, they seem not to think it a crime
if they sell their votes. Hereafter I
shall endeavor to educate our people
in politics, both with my tongue and
PEN"
He said that the adoption OF a uni
versal franchise system would be one
way Of saving the country from cor
ruption, yet feared that universal
franchise would do no more than low
er the price of ach vote. Mr.. Ozaki
voiced the opinion that the giving Of
votes to the educated classes, includ-
ing graduates from middle DR. higher
schools. irrespective Of property or
tax qualifications, would be one rem
edy for existing corruption.

GERMANY PLACES
BIG RESTRICTIONS !.
ON TOBACCO FARMING

Berne, Switzerland, June 4.-The
long-waited and dreaded reduction in
the production Of tobacco all over
Germany went into effect May l. The
government decreed that from that
time cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco
might be produced during the next
year only in quantity equivalent to the
total production during the first seven
months Of 1916. or during the first
seven months Of 1915. which ever
total was smallest. That means a
serious reduction in production, for it
not only spells fve-twelfths less than
normal, but only sixty per cent Of the
normal in those seven months, since
the production in 1915 and 1915 was
restricted by that much.
