Unpatriotic Swindlers

REVIEW

There is a gradual increase in the number of what are called national disgrace offences," in which public sympathy for soldiers. and sailors fighting at the front is exploited for fraudulent purposes and in which the families of these Servicemen are very often the victims. The Police Bureau of the Home Office has instructed the prefectural authorities to control such crimes strictly, acting in co- operation with the ex-servicemen's societies, the young men's associa- tions and other local organizations.

Among the "national disgrace" offenders are mentioned the following :---

1-The swindler who, describing himself as a soldier about to leave for the front, goes about collecting donations or "travelling ex- penses" from gullible sympathizers. In one extreme case, the mis- creant caused a large number of innocent villagers to see him off at the station.

2-The swindler who visits the family of a soldier, describing himself either as a messenger from the front or his comrade in arms,. and manages to defraud the people of money on one pretext or other.. 3. One who makes house-to-house visits to collect subscriptions. towards a national defence fund of his own invention. . .

4. One who pretends to be a penniless refugee from China and appeals to the public for pecuniary aid.

5-One who visits the family of a soldier at the front and on the pretence of securing employment for a member of the family de- frauds It of money.

6-One who swindles merchants out of articles of various kinds, which he orders on the plea that they will be given to soldiers going to the front as presents or souvenirs.

Continuing, Mr. Yuki stated that so long as the international accounts are kept in order, the Bank of Japan can, with the assistance of financial circles, digest national bonds, "no matter how enormous the war expenditure becomes," stated the Osaki "Asahi."

Mr. Yuki added that he pointed out this view to the Premier during his interview.
