FASCIST JAPAN.
REIGN OF TERROR. f PARLIAMENT PARALYSED. (United Press Association— Copyright) TOKIO, March 5. In an amazing speech in the Diet Mr Seijun Ando said that he knew his life was insecure because, with reactionaries rampant, he intended to reveal the prevailing conditions under the politically and bureaucratically suppressed state of the newspapers. “Tru'e deliberation in the Diet on Govemomnt policies is impossible,” he said. “We resent the Government’s neglect" to control these ruffians, and vigorously oppose the trend towards Fascism, originating in unseen hands andipnating behind the police and the military. There is a, certain military faction which is to be blamed. “The reactionary organisations are destroying the freedom of thq Press and of speech in the Diet under the mask that they are approved by the militarists. Criticisms ventured by members of the Diet on militarism and diolomacyl are .’inroediately interpreted by the reactionaries as unpatriotic. “The succession of assassinations obusiness men and newspaper men and threats against legislators’ lives indicates a tendency impending the people’s freedom. Unlawful acts of violence are recurring with remarkable frequency.”
