9,000,000 JAPANESE VOTING TO-DAY

Tokyo, Feb. 10, Approximately nine million voters will go to the polls in forty-soven pre- fcetures to-morrow to elect a new parliament and express their opinions on every phase of governmental ac- tivity,

While the election in its final analysis is a grudge fight between the Cabinet and the Solyukal resulting from the Government's dissolution of Parliament, the same issues would have come before the people in April

had there been no such conflict.
