Toxic. Jan. 25.-The Japanese diet

political situation In Japan to q

The nationaiists in the diet, and

premier.
The principal ground on which the
fight was made. was the selection OF
Terauchi's cabinet was not made in

Japan. The real leader OF the op-
position OF the government is Wis
count Kato. who served as foreign
minister In the okuma cabinet. Head

CODE
. IS KNOWN ABROAD.
gntinlation That Leaks In Information
Como Because Of Faulty
Codes

Washington, Jan. 25.-Confiden-
tial messages Of the state depart
ment have leaked because the state
department codes are known abroad.
the state department has reason to
believe, high oficial stated today.
Because OF this the codes have
been altered from time to time and
Il 10 limited they have been changed
only recently. Charges . that the
codes are known abroad have been
made frequently. Until today. how
ever, the department never has adj
mitted It's belief that the code is
In foreign hands.
In view Of the houseleak COM
mittee's query as to whether New
York brokers had information from
abroad on the presidents recent
peace note. the admission from the
state department today appeared sig
nificant. II may mean that this gov
ernment means TO trace leaks abroad
rather than to Washington.
About nine months ago the United
Press carried dispatch from Berlin
to the effect that keys Of United
States codes had become known in
many European capitals and that
knowledge Of this had caused sud-
den altering Of the codes used by
this government.
