Osaka, March 5.
The Japan Association of Trade Guilds, comprising more than 200 guilds of the Kwansai district, held a meeting with 30 journalists here last night in order to exchange views on disarmament.
It appeared from the discussion that the guilds are strongly oppos"d to a militaristic budget, based on the income prevailing during tie boom. They consider such a budget ruinous to the country and unnecessary, seeing that Japan is not faced with any enemy.
Nearly all those present expressed warm approval of the attitude of the business community, and promised to assist the disarm moment movement to the best of -Ahieir ability.—Reuter.
