before becoming law. The women's
votes measure was part OF the social
reform program outlined to Premier
Shidehara by General Macarthur
earlier this week.
The newspaper Mainichi said that
81 10000 women would be enfran-
chised by the measure. There was
no estimate OF the number OF male
voters which would be added
through the lowering of the voting
age.
Premier Shidehara's cabinet to-
day began the ticklish task OF draft
ing revisions for Japan's constitu-
ton. but Nipponese Liberals said
they doubted the changes would
meet fully General MacArthur's In
sistence that the government
should be made the servant of the
people.
MacArthur's directive called for
drastic reforms OF Japan's laws to
provide for women's suffrage. la

pressive police and the relaxing OF
industrial monopoly.
The Allied supreme commander
bluntly told Shidehara that liberal
ization OF Japan's constitution,
which has not been amended since
is was promulgated in 1889. would
be necessary to achieve the re-
forms. He also pointedly reminded
the premier that the government
should be the servant rather than
the master ot,the people"
The princes draft proposed prin-
cipally revision OF certain articles
which give the emperor supreme
command OF army and navy forces
and the right TO declare war, make
peace and conclude treaties, Asahi
reported.
These would be basic revisions,
because OF Allied elimination OF
the Japanese army and navy and
the nations right to declare war.
The cabinet welded the knife
again on Japan's budget, cutting

the current Is yen to one dollar ex-
change rate) from - special ac-
counts. The money had been ap-
