fought a losing battle for the
past week TO maintain his pow

him, said Domei, was the neces-
si.y of "enlisting capable men
in his cabinet and renovating
the Cabinet structure"
He held a series of meetings
with senior statesmen but failed
and thereupon collected the res
ignations of all his ministers
and presented them to the En-
peror Tuesday.

TO his highest ranking consult
ant Marquis Koicho KIDD, Lord

who as Lord keeper of the Pri-
Wy Seal holds the most import

Japanese empire. After an audi

called together a group of high
Japanese, including seven form
