NO ANTI-WAR IDEAS.
JAP SOCIETY AND ITS AIM. TOKYO. * When in doubt Japanese bureaucrats can usually be relied on to do two ! things: to increase restrictions on the harassed dance halls, and to start a movement for stricter thought control. The latest manitestation of this latter tendency has been the decision of the Minister of Education, General Baron Sadao Araki, to reorganise the Kenkyukai, an institute for the study of thought problems. The governor of each prefecture will be the head of this organisation, with the director of educational affairs as the vice-chairman. The programme of the reorganised Kenkyukai consists of the following items: Liberal and anti-war thoughts will be eradicated. The trend of thought movements will be investigated. Lecture meetings, study groups, round table discussions, and special courses will be held, and pamphlets and other documents will be distributed. Thought guidance among educational groups will be worked out. Thought guidance through the recommendation of good books will be offered. Guidance of thought trends of students outside of school will be undertaken. Guidance of students from Korea, Formosa, Manchukuo, China and other countries will be undertaken.
