JAPAN IS ABOUT
To CUT SIZE Of
STANDING ARMY
Tokyo Government Yields to
Popular Demand Despite
Militarist Opinion.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News Service.

Japan is about TO make radical
reductions in the strength of her
standing army, according to ad-
vices reaching here today from
Tokyo
The Tokyo government, notwith.
standing the objection of the mill
taristic group among the elder
statesmen" has decided that con.
cessions must be made to popular
demand which has been Crystallized
by the activities of the so-called
''KokumintO" or opposition, which
numbers among its membership
some of the most influential of
Japan's disarmament advocates.
The Japanese general staff is
standing out against any reduction
in the number OF divisions. but ap-
parently has agreed to a reduction
of $4,000 in personnel, which would
bring the standing army to PAS. 900
officers and men. Under present
plans. infantry battalions would be
reduced from four to three COM
panies, and reductions also will be
made in the number OF machine
\ ullS dllOlteu 10 regiments OlHtl
than those attached to machine gun
divisions.
The program proposed by the gen,
eral staff makes no provision for
savings In appropriations and there
fore II is expected to prove unsatis-
factory to the Kokuminto. which
has based its fight for reduction
largely upon economic grounds. The
saving to be accomplished by elm
mating $4,000 men, would be ex.
pended, under the proposed scheme.
for the purchase OF more modern
equipment and for the development
of new weapons Of warfare brought
forward by the world war. 1t is
stated.
The movement for radical reduc.
tons not only in the number of men.
but also in appropriation for the
support of the army appears to
have the support of the rank and
file of japanese, and the press of
Japan is practically unanimous in
faVoring it.
