By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, April i2.-Continuing theil
drive against Communism, authorities
today arrested more suspects. including
several students. Further arrests are
expected.
With more than q thousand alleged
Reds already arrested In Japan during
the past month, the government is be-
lieved to have the situation well IN
hand. No difflculties are expected al
present. although the police are watch
ing all suspects closely.
Few Convictions Expected.
About four or five hundred of those
under arrest will be charged with vio-
lating the peace. Few convictions are
expected. however. because the govern
naent acted largely on suspicion. The
evidence was found principally IN circu-
lars issued during the recent generai
election by the proletarian leftS. rms
was considered chiefly leSe majestic be-
cause the overthrow Of the monarchy
and the setting up of workers gov
ernment was advocated. The circulars
stated:
Parliament is nothing more than an
organ 10 CIe1k t1kS PGORANs w ~a~
therefore form our own parliament OF
laborers. farmers and the poorer classes
I'VE must expose the crimes OF capi-
talists and landowners.
Our demands are: wholesale revision
of the election laws. abolition OF laws
aimed at the oppression of proletarianS,
opposition to war of imperialism, aooh-
ton of the monarchy"
Investigation Follows.
These circulars spread broadcast
throughout the country caused the in
vestigation and arrests.
In the election, two radical members
OF the Proletarian party obtained seats
Ia the Diet. It is understood that an
attempt win be made TO unseat them IN
the coming session.
The government Is striving to main
tain the most friendly relations with
Russia, although the coming trials may
bring in the Third Internationale, which
may strain the entente.
