By the Assoclated Press, HAVANA, Cuba, November 2.—De- mands for decisive action by the Veterans and Patriots’ Association are being made on him by the su- preme council of the organization, @Gen. Carlos Garola-Veles, its presi- dent, told the Assoclated Press. He #4ded that hé was unwilling to re- #ort to violence until the time comes when he can strike a blow that would quickly overthrow the gov- ernment of Presidént Zayas and thus not subject Cuba to a prolonged struggle. or snother, even it in the end it would epell a nattonal harakirl for Japan.” “Then all that I have to say is, the enlightened America of 1923 takes us for & nation of utter lunatics or of ir- redeemable fools.

In Japan, however, public opinion took up the gquestion where the Washington conference had left off. In the forty-fifth session of the im- ial dlet, the Selyu Kai, the ma- orlty pariy, demanded tne reduction of the army expenditure by 40,00 000 yen a year. The people did mot think that the army would obey the mandate. The army up to that time had never been famous for its gentlo docllity to the wordy orders of the diet. But to the surprise of the whole country, the army authorities have done everything in their power to meet the wishes of the dlet. They mapped out & scheme to cut the army by 56.000 men and officers and ef- fecting the saving of an average amount of about 40,000,000 yen a year. Called for Volunteers. The first step of the reduction was carried out some time ago. The second reduction was to be carcied out in the first part of August, 1933. No less than 1,800 officers were to be stricken off the active list. About the middle of July, there- fore, there was an anxious com- mander of @ division stationed in Tokio. It was his duty to dismiss a number of officers under him under THE EVENING tho strict orders from hesdquarters. ' Nippon should maet it with po! He had treated almost all of the young officers under him as his chil- dren; he had taken pride in looking into their welfare and work.
