made her sick just to look at any.

gas, full Of bloat, had headaches,
felt worn out and was badly con.

thing in sight and digests it per-

more and feels like "some other

Is, 900 men, women and children
gathered in Hibiya park in a quar-
ter of the city near the govern
ment buildings to hear Communist
speakers demand an end to the
Emperor system and the over.
throw of Shidehara.
Want Cabinet Removed
Communists and Socialists fol-
months have been calling for the
removal of the Shidehara cabinet,
blaming it for food shortages and
contending it was too reactionary
From the park 10000 persons, in
Guiding Socialists as well as Com
munists and some Koreans, pa
raded to the premier's residence,
waving gaudy banners.
Two of the policemen were beat
en- and blood flowed from their
mead cuts. Stones flew. Windows
on the first floor of the residence
were smashed.
The commander of the police
ordered warning shots fired. AS
the sound of pistol fire began to
have SOLDERING effect on the
crowd, 10 U. S. military police ar
rived on foot and began clearing
the courtyard.
Armored Cars
Six armored cars and a half
dozen jeeps with machineguns
manned by more M. P.'s roareo
up. and the crowd retreated out
through the gates without making
any further trouble.
The Japanese, who had pushed
their own police around, were
careful not to antagonize the white
helmeted Americans and fell back
whenever one approached.
An additional $50 japanese po-
lice arrived. With the $50 others,
who had retired to the background,
they took up positions inside the
walls after M. P.'s closed the
gates.
Before the last demonstration was
shooed outside, Secretary-General
Kyuichi Tokuda of the Communist
party knocked at the premier
door and talked to Shidehara's
secretary, who told him the
premier was not at home.
Tokuda told the secretary the
meeting at Hibiya Park adopted a
resolution calling for immediate
overthrow of the cabinet. He was
assured the information would be
conveyed to the premier.
The demonstration was some
thing new in long-regimented ia
pan, and the police seemed uncer-
tain how to handle such strange
l situation.

Oranges have advanced during
