Fletcher Attacks New Deal AS

WASHINGTON, July 3. - This
summers political campaigns SEEM
ed destined today to be fought on
the issue of constitutional govern
ment, with Americas vaunted ad-
vantages of democracy the rallying
ground for new deal" opponents.
Chairman Henry p Fletcher of
the Republican national committee
provided this keynote in radio
speech last night. He declared the
Roosevelt administration was stiff
ling constitutional freedom of ac-
ton and choice.
New dealers" on the other hand,
are echoing President Roosevelt S
statements that the good of "the
greater number" is the aim of the
administration; that while changes
are being made the framework of
American constitutional govern
ment is not being impaired.
Fletcher made his speech after
nearly a months service in his new
position. During that time he has
consulted party leaders and party
irreconcilables. 1t is fair to assume
that he had judged the situation
and decided on the main issues to be
stressed in the Republican effort 10
whittle down big Democratic ma
jorities in both houses of congress.
All of the house of representa-
tives and one-third of the senate
come up for reelection. Fletcher
described the campaign as lone OF
the most important waged in this
country since the foundation of our
government
I'VE did not doubt the honesty Of
their (the administrations inten-
tions," he said, "but we did seriously
question the soundness of most of
the hastily devised recovery mea-
ures. In the face of their over
whelming majorities in the house
and senate, criticism was useless,
moreover. it was denounced as un-
patriotic and obstructive
Where President Roosevelt called
for a re-reading of the bill of rights
by citizens to determine whether
the cost of recovery had been too
high, Fletcher suggested they turn
back to the declaration of indepen-
Gence.
Fletcher said the Republican par
ty did not desire to see the "alpha-
betical," new DEAL agencies become
permanent fixtures in our economic
life.

CABINET. Of
JAPAN QUITS
Scandal In Connection With
Bank Failure Causes Change
In Government.
BY RAY G. MARSHALL
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOKYO, July 3. - The govern
ment of Premier Makoto Saito,
which had governed Japan through
troubled internal and international
developments since 1882, resigned
today because of bank scandal in
volving subordinates of one of its
members.
Whether another "super-party''
cabinet would be created or whe-
ther direction of the empire again
political party was not known.
Prince Kimmichi Saionji vener-
able adviser of Japanese emperors
since the days of the great Emper-
or Meiji, grandfather of the present
ruler, was to arrive in Tokyo tomor-
row to consult Emperor Hirohito
and recommend new premier
A train was to be held in readi-
ness for Prince Saionji to return to
his villa after comforting with the
emperor. This indicated a new pre-
mier would be named speedily, it
was said.
Prospective premiers, observers
believed, aside from the reappoint
ment of Saito, were:
Kisaburo Suzuki, president of the
Seiyukai political party which holds
a parliamentary majority; General
Issei Ugaki, governor of Korea, who
is understood to meet the approval
of powerful naval figures; Baron
Kiichiro Hiranuma, president
of the potent privy council; Baror
Kito Xxi, president of the priv,
council, and Prince FumimarC
Knoe, dapper president of the house
of peers, who is at present in the
United States and who recently was
a luncheon guest of President
Roosevelt.
Difficulties which led to the cab
inet's resignation today were moi
considered chiefly political, al
though there was strong pressure
for a cabinet leaning more toward
the military.
The situation reached crisis
when Hideo Kuroda, vice minister
of finance was involved by report
in a scandal concerning the govern
ment-supervised Bank of Taiwan.
