Admiral M. Yonni, the Premier Desigante, has chosen n powerful national Cabinet in Japan, including representatives of the major political parties. Political circles in Tokyo point at that the new Cabinet wil stick to the established policies for the disposal of the Chiou Affair.

Army authorities hope that the new Government will recognise the Defence Budget which has been compiled by the outgoing Cabinet. They are anxious that the Government should make strenuous efforts for the stabilisation of living conditions on the home front.

From the viewpoint of international relations, Admiral Yonai is regarded in Tokyo as friendly to the Democincles and antagonistic in the Totalitarians,
