Revised returns ' for the new ‘house of representatives ;Show that ‘the government - forces m a majority of 45 over the op- ition groups. The figures stand had- more: than a majority in the house of representatives, which was 881 members, Jut now its mem- bership ‘has been reduced to 120, & loss of 78 seats as compared with the house which was dissovied by Premier Terauchi last January. Con- stitutional leaders like Yukio Oszaki, ex-minister of justice, have been campaigning in behalf of a develop- ment ot democracy which would, at least, be attended by a system of government based upon parties. It is true that Count Terauchi re- plied by allying himself, temporarfly at least, with the Seiyukai or' pol- itical friends party, thus tacitly acknowledging the force of the ‘claim for a form of party government. Nevertheless, the result shows that the constitutionalists met a defeat. The most representative explana~ tion of the result is that the ‘| Jananese voters only vaguely undér- stical Friends Party, l)hpenunts. tal 213. : Kenseikai . or uflonulm 120; Kokuminto, Independ: 3; total 168.
