FATEINBALANCE
Japanese Opposition Party
In Vote Today Emphasizes
Local Issues.
By the Aisocieted Press,
s TOKIO, February 20.—The Japanese
- alectorate voted today in Japan’s first
national election in exactly four years,
with the primary issue the support or
overthrow of the cabinet of Premier
j Admiral Keisuke Okada.
The consensus of Tokio’s pol ^ical
~m experts was that the chances of the
“national government” and its pow
erful opposition were about even, after
; a spirited campaign.
>» The polls opened at 7 a.m., and be
fore they close at 6 p.m., between
12,000,000 and 13,000,000 voters will
have made their choices for 466 mem
bers of the House of Representatives,
the imperial government’s only elective
Unit.
The early voting, however, was light.
A total of 876. candidates sought
seats in the Lower Chamber of tne
Imperial Parliament—336 from the
. Seiyukai party, comparatively con
servative, opppsed to the Okada gov
ernment, and, until this election, the
% nation’s largest party; 295 from the
• Minseito party, relatively more liberal
and supporting Premier Okada.
# Results Expected Saturday.
The results probably will not be
, known before late Saturday. Tokio
and other cities count their ballots to
morrow, while the tabulation will be
* made Saturday for rural districts.
With the army and navy holding a
dominant position, over the compara
tive weakness of the Parliament and
, political parties, government experts
said the election probably would not
i have any direct effect on formation of
major imperial policies.
The campaign centered on whether
l Premier Okada should have his man
‘ date renewed, a domestic issue which
* some political experts said might re
ault in the downfall of the cabinet.
If the Seiyukai gained 234 or more
of the 466 seats at stake, most Tokio
political writers predicted, the Okada
ministry would resign, yielding govern
ment control either to a Seiyukai gov
ernment or to another “national gov
• ernment,’’ holding Seiyukai support.
The Seiyukai anticipated a strong
rural vote in its favor, but the govern- j
ment—called "national” because many
of its members belong to no party—
counted on smaller groups, to swing
to its support with the Minseito, to
keep it in power.
Local Issues Emphasized.
The Seiyukai platform concentrated
on domestic affairs and referred to
foreign questions only with a demand
for a “positive and self-sufficient
diplomacy.”
The Minseito platform, interpreted
as slightly more conciliator}’ in foreign
affairs, opposed any naval race with j
the United States, hinted at opposi
tion to army and navy appropriations
increases and urged international “co
existence and mutual prosperity." |
The House of Representatives was
dissolved January 21. Premier Okada
deciding to go to the country in the
face of an increasingly hostile Seiyukai
majority. The last general election,
February 20, 1932. resulted in an over- i
whelming Seiyukai victory, that party j
taking 304 seats to 147 for the Minseito. j
The other seats went to lesser parties j
and independents.
The Minseito platform opposes a
naval race with the United States,
timidly hints at opposition to further
increases in army and navy appropria- j
tions and urges “coexistence and
mutual prosperity” in international
affairs.
Today’s election is held as the result
of the dissolution of the House of
Representatives January 21. when
Parliament reassembled after the New
Year holidays. Premier Okada, faced
with an increasingly hostile Seiyukai
majority, decided to go to the country
to seek a more amenable elective
chamber.
