Dispute Abolition
OF Death Penalty in Japan.
Japan Advertiser, Tokio.-A bitter
conflict over the abolition Of the death
penalty in the nations penal code has
arisen between younger and older JUS
tice officers. The dispute has been
caused by the preparation of a revised
draft Of the code which has Just been
passed by a special research commits
sion OF the justice ministry. The
younger judicial group contends that
the death penalty not only fails to pre-
sent any real recompense for crime, but
Is an outworn and essentially barbarous
institution. Their contention is that a
life sentence for the same crime pro-
vides recompense to the state, and to
the family of the victim through long
service, for the state contributes toward
defraying the judicial expenses Of the
trial and, lastly, forces real penance and
retribution &c: the offenSe.
The older and more conservative
group contends that the extreme pen
atty alone is sufficient to guarantee pub
lie safety f. n many criminals.
