RETURNING TO HIS DEATH
JAPANESE LEAVES LONDON ASSASSINATION AWAITS HIM CONSIDERED UNPATRIOTIC MEET DEATH WITH SMILE By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 6.30 p.m. London, Jan. 14. Mr. Yukio Ozaki, aged 70, formerly a member of the Japanese Cabinet, has left London for Japan, says the Daily Herald, knowing that assassination awaits him because many of his countrymen consider his speeches in America and Britain were unpatriotic. He has written to his son in Japan stating: “As more Japanese statesmen die violent than natural deaths anyone claiming to be a first-class public man must be prepared for a tragic end. I have never forgotten my mother’s instruction, ‘Meet death with a smile.’ If possible I should like to die a death which will prove a lesson to posterity.”
