A TRIPLE: MURDER.
HOW PATRIOTISM IS EXPLOITED.
TOKYO, May 2nd. Murder, sabotage and gang out. rages have swept across the stage of Japan's stormy political drama to add to the generally tense feel ing which has prevailed in the Em- pire since the general elections of February, writes a United Press correspondent.
Scores of people have been arrest- ed by an ever-vigilant police force which keeps in close touch with the life of every Japanese subject, a number still are in jail awaiting prosecution and evidence is being collected against others including several leaders of the numerous
gangs of "soshi" or political ruffians which long have been familiar in the life of the Empire. In the mindst of this situation a strong and virile press, led by two great newspaper syndicates, the Tokyo and Osaka daahi newspapers and the Danka Mainichi-Tokyo Nichi Nichi combination, is waging n strong fight for political purifica tion and orderly methods, attacking both the Government and appost- tion groups with impartial vigour and sometimes with telling effect. The general result, Japanese editors are confident, is going to be a de- cided and probably rapid im provement in political practices through the Empire.
Patriotism A Fetish. To understand the present confus ed situation it is essential to re member that murder, always has been "a recognized political weapon in Japan and that from time im memorial it has been practiced often with the approval of a
