HARDSHIPS MOUNTING
CONDITIONS IN JAPAN THE PREMIER'S WARNING (Rec. 11 pin.) NEW YORK, Jan. 7. A warning to high Government officials that a feeling of unhappiness and cheerlessness was rising among the people “as living conditions become more difficult and as war-time sufferings and hardships mount,” was given by General Tojo in a speech, says the Tokio official radio. “ I feel more than ever that Government officials should make contact with the people with a spirit of self-sacrifice and diligence in the application of Administrative policies.” General Tojo cautioned officials against talking too much, especially concerning foreign countries, and stressed the need for the protection of military secrets and the prevention of spreading fear among the people.
