Thes two incidents will serve to indicate what the attitude of the Government is towards a Labour demonstration likely to be largely dominated by Socialists, who, by the way, are undoubtedly a growing force in Japan. This demonstration was intended to demand not universal suffrage. hour day and the inauguration of labour marely "the establishment of an eight- lawa." These are startling developments, and there is no mistaking the tendency of the times in Japan; but at the present moment we believe the Government in strong enough to control any great social upheaval of which the Japanese people men were to resign, the attitude of its are capable, and even if the HARA Govern- immediate successor towards the foremost problema of the day is not likely to be materially different.”
an ever-growing tendency to overlook the nominal origin of these Imperial Edicts and to criticise the action of their real originators as freely as if the EMPEROR took no part in them. The action of the Government in dissolving the Dict has thus been very freely criticised as a political trick designed to procure the Government a fresh mandate. The Government's own explanation of the dissolution, DA already stated, is that it is an appeal to the country on the "suffrage question, whether they want universal anfrage or not. There are several reasons for thinking the Government is not quite sincere in this.
