Tokio, April 9—After Italy and Germany, party government in Jap- an is fighting for its life, the odds be- ing against survival. For two and one-half years—since the army swept through Manchuria— the Diet has been in almost total eclipse. Members of parliament have not dared lift their voices in criticism | of the militarists. | Today a slight spark of life is dis- cernible in the political bodies, but it is extremely feeble. And unless some- thing happens to fan it into a blaze it will soon go out altogether. Should that happen, Japan would probably go Black Dragon. This ‘would correspond to Italy going Fas- cist and Germany going Nazi. She would likely return to a sort of Samurai rule, under her sacred Emperor. Nippon may produce her version of @ Mussolini or a Hitler but, short of @ cataclysm, there is little likelihood that His Imperial Majesty will cease to be regarded with anything but Piety and awe by the vast majority of his subjects. Wealth in Few Hands The party system is in disrepute in Nippon, because, rightly or wrong- ly, the abuses of Japanese capitalism are popularly laid at its door. And j in no other country in the world is wealth confined to so few hands. Factories, shipping, banking, de- partment stores—practically every- thing in the islands—is controlled by five or six stupendous interlocking concerns. To the public, civil or party gov- ernment has meant vast privileges and wealth for a few and poverty for the many. 1 To them, the Diet has not been composed of representatives of the people, but representatives of the big banking, commercial, and indus- trial houses. | Up to the Mukden incident of Sept. 18, 1931, one of the most prom- inent liberals in Japan and a former member of the Diet told me, the Jap- ‘anese people had the feeling of being hemmed in by stone walls without an exit. Many were jobless. University men were graduated and five of 100 found jobs. The other 95 went to work as day laborers—if they were sufficiently lucky. Army Finds Way Out Then the army defied the civil re- gime and took Mukden.

Because of the uncertainty of eco- nomic conditions that may develop within the next six months, the col- lege heads took no action on the mat- ter of appropriations. Members of the conference, however, said they believe there is a need for more ade- quate and a more equitable system of support. They expressed the opinion some replacement tax must be secured and Greater federal aid obtained for the program of higher education in North Dakota, taking the view that institu- tions of higher learning in North Da- kota have an enviable reputation at home and abroad that can be safe- guarded only through greater certain- ty with reference to financial support. Those participating in the sessions, held Friday and Saturday, termed the meeting a success. It was agreed to hold a similar meeting in September to complete certain studies now in Progress.
