Tokio, Aug. 12.
Baron Goto has tendered his resignation as a member of the Diplomatic Advisory Board, on the ground that the Board, which was brought into existence to bring Japan into satisfactory contact with Foreign Powers, has lost its raison d'étre upon the completion of the ratification of the various treaties and agreements concluded at Washington. Mr. Ki Inukai, of the Kokuminto, will, it is believed, follow Baron Goto's example.
It is expected by the "Yomiuri? and other papers that the return at this juncture of Baron Goto and Mr. Inukai to their former political freedom foreshadows the formation of a new political party, especially as the dissolution of the Kokuminto may be an'accomplished fact before very long.—Reuter.
