TOXIC. January 30.-Gen. Senjuro
Hayashi prayed to the spirits Of
Japan's dead soldiers and sailors today
for success IN his efforts to form q
cabinet and end the crisis over the
bitter fight between army and po-
litical leaders.
Hayashi, twice minister Of war, was
ordered to assemble a government
after the army had forced the Liberal
Kazushise Ugaki to fail.
Considered agreeable to the ex-
tremist elements in the military
bureaucracy, his efforts were believed
almost certain Of success.
Some circles. however, condemned
the new premier, designated by the
Emperor last midnight as an out
right militarist. The japanese press
accepted dissolution Of the Diet as
a certainty. as well as formation Of
q strong Rightist party to support
the Hayashi government.
Financial quarters felt Hayashi
would extend the Hirota cabinet g
financial policies to final national
control Of trade. industry and public
utilities. They also expected Hayashi
would strongly support the army's
policy on the continent. promoting
economic penetration Of North China
and building up the Manchoukuoan n
and JapAneee armies.
