Acting Premier Called
Into Conference With
Emperor.
WILL CONTINUE
HARA'S POLICIES
Student Assassin Proud
OF His Crime; Poses
As Martyr.

TOKYO. Nov. 5.-Count Uchida,
named temporary premier Of japan.
was summoned before the Emperor
late tonight.
the nature Of the conference, but 1t
was understood Uchida was to be con-
suited regarding the formation Of the
next cabinet.
II was announced officially that
Uchida would retain the portfolio Of
foreign affairs, though other ministers
Of the Hara cabinet have resigned.
VIII Continue Policies.
Promise that Japan's present poll
cies, both foreign and domestic. would
continue in effect. was given to the
world today.
Count Uchida made this announce
ment in a formal statement 1t tended
to clarity somewhat the air Of uncer-
tainty following yesterdays assassina-
ton Of Premier Hara.
Despite the fact 1t seemed apparent
Uchida might continue in power. even
with the formal resignation Of Hara's
cabinet, leaders of all factions ex-
pressed fear Of a serious political
crisis But they emphasized that the
disturbance would be purely domestic
and would not affect fundamental
policies abroad.
Appointment Of the new premier by
the Emperor was expected shortly.
Owing to the monarch's Illness of long
standing. however. there was some
doubt as to whether he would per-
sonally exercise that function.
Holds Himself ms Martyr.
The degree to which conditions
had become unsettled in Japan was
illustrated by the attitude of Nakao-
ka, the young Japanese student who
fatally stabbed Hara.
When interviewed today he said
calmly that he killed the premier
because of the criticism of him ]
read in the newspapers" He re-
gzrded himself as a,,martyr for thu
cause or Japan and was inordinately
proud of his deed. despite the fact
he realized that execution was GER
tain. Nakaoka comes from a good
family but had been forced to leave
school and earn a living.
Public sorrow for Hara's death
was evident throughout the country.
At the same time there was a dispo-
sition to blame bitter political crit
icism for the deed rather than Ma
kaoka personally.
Leaders to Hold Conference.
Prince Yamagata and other politi-
cal leaders were on their way to
Toxic today for a conference which
was expected to have an important
bearing on the selection of Hara's
successor. While Uchida seemed to
have the better chances of heading
the government. there was talk OF
Count Okuma resuming the pre-
miership. or of the appointment of
Baron Maxine, former foreign min-
lister
The simplicity of the late premier
is illustrated in the directions he
had left for his burial. In his will
he had ordered a plain stone slab
bearing only his name, to be placed
over the grave. No mention may be
made on ii of the various titles and
honors accorded him.
