Japanese Government In Confusion
made by the Emperor. In demo- cratic countries, the right of mani- pulating the constitution is usually vested, in the representative body of the people. In Japan it becomes the personal affair of the Emperor. Moreover the Emperor has the ub- solute power to dissolve, prorogue the Diet thus the representative body of the Japanese people only acts as a subservient organ.

THE CITIZENS IGNORANCE OF
LAW AND COGNATE CRIMES

Law of Larceny. Simple larceny is the act of stealing unaccom- panled by any aggravating cir- cumstances. Compound larceny is the act of stealing accompanied by such aggravating circumstances, 29:-1, The nature of the thing stolen. 2 By whom it was stolen, 3. The manner as with violence.

PARTY POLITICS BARRED
Though the Japanese MPs fall to be the watch-dog of their State, they can. however, oppress and squeeze their masses in collusion with their respective parties. AC- cording to the Constitution, no party politica is tolerated. Again this characterizes the Japanese de mocracy. In förming a new Ca binet, bureaucracy is the only ways and means. For many decades after the promulgation of the Constitution, the Cabinet was mo- nopolized by a few clans in Japan. Realizing the inconsistencies of their constitutional government, the Japanese statesmen began to tolerate the activities of political parties. However they were sub- lected to all sorts of checks and limitations. They were given no legal personality. This situation still holds good to-day. In com- plete ignorance of their doubtful status, they act in collusion with the militarista to extract the last
ounce of energy from the people.
They are responsible for financing the Japanese Industrial magnates. An underdog for the ronins—a parasite to the Japanese people! In the sense of harbouring the international delinquencies of the Japanese militarists and the tional corruptions of the Japanese politicians the Lower House of the Japanese Diet stands for one of the many governments in Japan.
