ELECTIONS IN JAPAN
ALLIED BAN ON CANDIDATURES (Rdc. 9.5) NEW YORK, Jan. 30. The “New York Times” correspondent at Tokio states: The Shidehara Cabinet at a meeting decided to retain in its own hands the selection of candidates qualified to run for office at the general elections in Japan. The Cabinet set the election date at March 31.
The Japanese Home Ministry will determine the meaning of a somewhat loosely-worded Allied purge directive, which denied office to “influential members of the Japanese Nationalist Societies, or to persons who deceived or misled people of Japan, thus causing war.”
A new session of the Diet will probably be called about April 20.
