It is now dear that the Army anticipated Government without parliament, are angry at the reversal of Friday's decision to dissolve the Diet and displeased at the appointment of General Ugaki as premier.

The Army holds that General Ugaki was responsible for the reduction of military strength by four divisions in 1935 and re-i gards him as much too liberal in his ideas.
