NEW PURGE IN JAPAN OF ULTRA NATIONALISTS
Reed.- 8 p.m. Tokio, Jan. 4. The Japanese Government has announced a new purge of ultra nationalists, prohibiting blood relatives inheriting the purgees' positions. It also has extended the journalistic purge to officials of newspapers and magazines which published ultranationalistic articles during the war. Twenty,-two financial concerns have been added to an already extensive list.
A Cabinet shuffle is unlikely because the Government has provided safeguards, protecting three of four Ministers whose war records would otherwise have been scrutinised. The new purge follows inquiries by a Russian member of the Allied Council, Lieut.-General Derevyanko, into purge delays. The purge order debars at. least 500,600 persons from public office.
