JAPAN TO INCREASE
GARRISON IN KOREA
(RV Associated PresS)


TOXIC, Feb. 4.-Count Tanaka
minister of war. announced in the
Japanese Diet today that it was the
governments intention to reinforce
the garrison in Korea with another di-
vision of troops. He declared the ini-
tial cost of this operation would be
100000 yen (about SIS, 100000 norm
ally) and that the maint tenance of the
force in Korea for one year would cost
100000 yen.
Announcement is made by Yukio
Ozaki, a leader of the opposition party
that if the whole organization should
be against him he will combine his
fight for the curtailment of armaments
until he convinces his colleagues, gov
ernment officials and the people that
a reduction in the naval program is a
move toward national defense and pro-
sperity at home.
81 believe he said today. that as
soon as the people realize present con-
ditionS in Japan as well as the world,
they will support my views.
M. OZaki ridiculed the idea that
American proposals looking to restric-
tion of armament were based on utter
ior motives. He said he would event
ually win success because of the diets
unwillingness to countenance further
taxation and any expansion in Japan's
obligations.
"A large army is more useless than
a large navy" he asserted in conclus-
ion. Japanese military leaders un-
derstand nothing outside their own
province and are always urging an in
crease in the army.
