BALLOT TESTS TOKIO'S POLICY AGAINST CHINA Twelve Million Japanese Will Go to Polls Saturday. By United Press TOKIO, Feb. 19.—Twelve million Japanese voters will ballot Saturday in one of the most bitterly contested general elections in the history of the Japanese empire, with the military campaign in Shanghai and Manchuria a major issue. Japans activities in China are under absolute control of the military, directly responsible only to the emperor, but strongly supported by the Seiyukai, or government party. The militarists are expected to win support from both parties who hardly can do otherwise than back the army and navy. Any other course wouid be an affront to the imperial house. Only the comparatively weak Communist and radical groups have ventured any criticism of the government's conduct of Sino-Japanese troubles, 466 to Be Elected election is for the purpose of electing 466 members of the lower house of the imperial Japanese parliament—the Teikoku Gikai. The campaign wound up in a burst of oratory and charges and counter-charges of corruption today. Both major parties—the Seiyukai and the Minseito, prjncipal opposition—issued statements claiming victory. Premier Tsuyoshi Inuuai, leader of the Seiyukai, said his party will elect 225 to 235 members with support from minority parties to give it a satisfactory working majority. Baron Reijiro Wakatsuki, leader of the Minseito, declared that his party will seat about 230 members, enough to assure the resignation of the Seiyukai regime and formation of anew Minseito government. Governments in power have won 'every general election in Japanese [history. Victory is almost assured fey control of prefectural governments through the politically appointed provincial governors and police. • Cowardice Is Charged Probably the most potent charge brought against the Seiyukai by the Minseito during the pre-election campaign has been one of moral cowardice. This alleged cowardice is due to the Seiyukai failure to resign following the attack on Emporor Hirohito by a Korean on Jan. 8. Custom had decreed that any government in power must resign as an acceptance of guilt when the person of the emperor was threatened by a subject. The Inuuai government diJ tender its resignation, but withdrew it when the emperor assured the premier that the cabinet could not be blamed. This issue has been especially effective in the rural districts, where the population is conservative and clings to the old beliefs. Another charge brought by the Minseito rs one of its chief* internal political issues has been that the Seiyukai abandoned the gold standard without cause. The Minseito charge that the country thereby has been placed in a dangerous financial position.
