Public opposition may be seen many articles and open letters written by Japanese writers of note, denouncing militarismi and
the effects of war on the masses. One of these writers, Mr. Nishiga wa, in his article published in a Russian publication, the "Man- lolosky," called the Japanese cam- paign into Chinese territory an act of "outright robbery." He went on to say that the poverty of the Japanese people was due to the huge military expenditure required by the militarists to finance their legal expeditions into China and that because of this the country is threatened with bankruptcy.
They will maintain peace and order among the inhabitants in general, he stated, and perform guidance duties to assist refugees returning to thier former homes.

Regimental Economic State
REVIEW
"Regardless of whether Japan officially declares war in China, her present operations there are bound to drive her one step nearer to a regimented economic state of the Fascist variety," states the Insutute of Pacific Relations..
!] 1
"In recent months, the Japanese military party has intensified Its steady pressure in favour of state Intervention and control of in- dustry and trade. The present Sino-Japanese clash will undoubtedly strengthen this movement as disturbances in the international aphere are of powerful ald in persuading the country of the necessity of such a polley."
A survey, of the general trend of events in Japan confirms the truth of the above atatement. During the past few months, strenuous cfforts have been exerted by the Government to bring foreign ex- change under complete state control. Consequently huge shipments: of gold have been sent, abroad in order to adjust existing economie! difficulties and to fortify Japan's financial position against any pos- sible emergences...

Both these measures are direct steps towards state control of neutral economic processes which He at the basis of all Fascist states.
Strong Opposition
During the next fiscal year, the Institute reporta, army and navy estimates may exceed 900,000,000 and 800,000,000 yen respective- 1y. Hence it is widely feared that forced absorption of Government bonds, still another economic process of, Fascist states, may become necessary. Many observers believe that if inflation is to be avoided. it can only be done through the enforcement of strict measures of regulation.
The experience of the World War, and more recent examples in Fascist countries show that, given a psychology of national emergency and far reaching control by the state over every aspect of economic life, much that seems impossible can be accomplished. It is on such models that Japan's military leaders are moulding their designs.
"As a rule the tendency towards state control is strongly opposed by powerful Onancial interests," the Institute continues, "and its advocates in Japan have so far proceeded cautiously, seeking to at- tain their ends so far as possible by persuasion and concession rather than by coercion."
