ray MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIeel
Toxic, July (by the Associated
Press) Not since the advent OF
constitutional government has ia
pan seen such political turmoil Il.
that prevailing during the present
sitting of the diet. The govern.
ment apparently is Serena in the
conviction that it will have the
support of the Seiyu .Kai. or r1e-
Jority party, Nevertheless, in the
fierce attack which the opposition
is making upon it, a display of lib.
eral and free speech has DEVELOPED
what observers believe IS destined
to have an important effect on The
development of constitutional gov
eminent in Japan.
Repeated allegations that tho
government was controlled by the
military, especially with regard to
its Siberian policy, We're followed
by the sensa ipnal announcement
of Yukio Ozaki, former minister Of
justice who recently returned to
Toxic from | visit 20 America and
Europe thai hcnceforth he would
abandon all parties and wage an
independent fight % defeat mill.
tarism. NJ. Ozdki declared that
only by the overthrow of milital-
ism could the COOL repute of jap
anese in the word be restored to
its former lustre. He said he had
abandoned the Kcnsci-Kai Opposi-
ton party because his new attitude
conflicted with the policy adopted
by the party several years ago
when it supported 'hc naval eXter-
sion policy at present in operation.
"The Introduction of a budget,
of which one-third is devoted to a
bloated increase of ornaments. is
the height of absurdity," NJ. Ozaki
asserted. Japan never will win
her rightful place among the ma
lions until she throws off the
tyranny of the military clique.
World suspicion has turned against
us because the world sees in Japan
an aggressively imperialistic and
militaristic country.
The climax of the attacks in the
diet against the cabinet was
reached yesterday when Repre-
sentative Nagai, a youthful new
member and professor in Waseda
university, declared:
1.-The Lenine autocracy is reign
ing in the west, the Ilara autoc-
racy in the east"
He charged that the government
by its unconstitutional dissolution
of the last diet to avoid action on
universal suffrage had invited
dangerous thoughts of class strife.
The governments action, he de-
was against the spirit of the
constitution granted by Emperor
Mutsuhito.
Another member, kotaro Moch,.
zulIi, referred to the anti-Japanese
agitation in California. He scored
the Siberian policy and said he
proofs that different;
views were held in the war and
foreign offices concerning it. While
America had only 1000 men to
help the Czecho-Slovaks, he as
serted, Japan had despatched a
much stronger force and America
had protested against Japan's at
Iitude.
The opposition parties presented
4 resolution declaring lack of con-
fidence in the ministry by the
house. and listing five reasons why
he government should retire. The
'irst of these was that, ignoring the
popular demand, the ministry had
'efused to introduce universal suf-
rage. The second charged that by
dissolution of the last diet the gov
