JAPAN REVIEW

Diet Discusses China Issues

The House of Representatives met recently. At the outset, Mr. Koyama, the President, reported to the House that he had repaired to the Palace and submitted to the Throne the House's Reply to the Imperial Edict opening the Dict session and that the Emperor had again granted a gracious Message appreciating the House's mark of respect

זי

The draft resolution expressing the House's gratitude to the

army and naval officers and men at the front was explained by Mr. Shimada, a Seljukal leder, and approved unanimously

As in the other House, General Sugiyama and Admiral Yonat thanked the House on behalf of the Army and the Navy respectively.

The House entered on the Order of the Day and nine Bills in- troduced by the Government were explained by Mr. Kaya, the Finance Minister, Count Arima, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Mr. Yoshine, Minister of Commerce and Industry, and Mr. Nagai, Minister of Communications. These Bills were: The Bill for the issue of bonds to meet the war expediture, one relative to the creation of the temporary war expenditure special account, one providing for the exemption of soldiers and sailors from taxation and for the post- ponement of the collection of taxes from them, one relative to the adjustment of funds, the Foreign Exchange Control Revision Bill, the BI

concerning emergency measures relative to rice, the Temporary Fertilizer Distribution Control Bill, the B for emergency measures regarding imports and exports, and the Temporary Shipping Control Bill.·

Japan's True Intentions

Mr. Sakurauchi (Minselto), Interpellating. stresed the necessity of making Japan's true intentions perfectly clear to China and third Powers, and asked the Government's view, on the point. He also suggested that the Government should lay down a future financial programme on the assumption that the present conflict will be a prolonged affair. The interpellator admitted that in the existing circumstances it is inevitable that recourse should be had to loan issues in providing the funds, but asked what plans the Government has in mind regarding the problem of securing their absorption.

Mr. Sakurauchi also expressed apprehension lest the execution of the new supplementary Budget should force up prices. He further suggested that the Government should act in close unison with interna- private interests in the matter of improving the state or tional accounts.

Prince Konoe, the Premier, in reply, said that some Western Powers fall to understand Japan's true intentions in the present con- flct. The Government is considering, effectual methods of making Japan's point of view clear to these Powers, the Premier said.
