BEGIN IN TOKYO British Tories Applaud Raids and Arrests TOKYO, April 11.—The Japanese Farmer-Labor Party, the Japanese Labor Council and the Proletarian Youth have all been dissolved accord- ing to an announcement issued to- day by the Home Ministry. The new move on the part of the government outlaws all left wing groups, since th: Japanese Communist Perty was declared illegal several years ago. The suppression of the left wing parties followed a series of raids which resulted in the arrest of more than a thousand left wing political and trade union leaders. The trials of those arrested will begin in the near future in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Saporo. The raids followed the general elections which indicated that the left. wing | parties were gaining rapidly in in- dustrial centers and among the poor tenant farmers. ee | | fac'ure than exist in New England,” THY DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 | Japanese Government Forces All Left Wing Political Parties Underground Page Inree OPPOSITION IN WASHINGTON, (FP) April 11.
