REACTION TO FIERY ORATION

Mr. Nakano And Diet Expulsion

TOKYO, Mar. 3. JAPANESE REPORTS state that Mr. Seigo Nakano, who made a fiery speech in Shanghai yesterday insisting that Japan should use more force in accom- plishing her aims, may be oust- ed from the Japanese Diet, ost- ensibly owing to his absence from Tokyo during the Diet session.

However, it is understood that this step is likely to be taken because of his Shanghai speech,

Japanese reports stated that Con- members of the Dlet scrvative roundly criticised Nakano's "desertion

from duty." and said that Nakuno Thad obtained a week's leave of ab- sence last Wednesday when he went to Shunghat with Italian and Germun journalists, intending to visit the front, and that Mr. Taken Kimura, a member of Nakano's Tohokal Party
