Both sides are distributing thousands of pamphlets setting forth their arguments, and are using poster advertising. News paper advertising is prohibited by law, and there are strict regulations regarding the size and wording of pamphlets and posters which are enforced rigidly by the police. The proletarian vote is being badly split in many districts, each of the many Left parties having placed a candi- date in the field. An effort to have only one proletarian candidate in each district failed, so we are not likely to see a very strong Labour element in the Diet when it meets again next month.
