TOKYO BANKERS
 FEAR LEFT VEER
All Urged to Refrain From Moves Which Might Dis.
 turb Conditions

Tokyo (Up) - Japanese bankers are urging their government to be. ware of radical measures and to re- frain from moves which might dis- turh general conditions.
 In language similar to that cr1. ployed by American industriallstS in commenting on the New Deal, Kozo Mori, chairman of the Tokyo Clear ing House, told Q group of finan. cierB and government officials that Japan's leaders should chart Q cau- tlouB course.
 'The country, every section of 1t, is now throbbing with the spirit of new drive, with the demand for Q change, with progressivist senti. ments swaying the entire people. he said.
 Practical Course Urged
 "This is certainly natural and healthy sign in q progressive com. munity like ours which is always marching forward, and 1t Is states mnnship to follow and utilize such Q Q trend, but in doing that the gov- ernment must cautiously watch its steps, be practical and realistic, be- ware of radical and excessive meas ures, but advance step by step, treading the sure ground VouchBaf- ing transition by gradual stages.
 We hope that the government will use utmost care in avoiding whatever is likely to unsettle tha general conditions"
 Discusses New Cabinet
 Discussing the Hirota cabinet, or- ganized March 0, Mort said:
 We are not yet quite clearly in- formed about what 1t Is going to do specifically by way of reform and renovation. It is regrettable that a section of the financial circles should have interpreted that declaration is- sued soon after the organization of the cabinet Rs an implied an. nouncement of m extraordinary in- crease of tax burdens or c radical control of industries soon to follow.
 "If the popular mind is unsettled, everything will withor. We cannot help being keenly dcsirous that tho government declare at the earliest possible date the specific financial and economic programs it has in mind and So let the people know for certain what they can definite. N count on."
