Opposition leaders are unlikely to agree to the Premier's plan.

cannot solve them satisfactorily, he should then resign and make way for those who are confident that they can guide the ship of state at this time, There is a persistent rumour that Mr. Hamaguchi, president of the Minseito, the principal Opposition party, and Mr. Wakatsuki who was premier before Tanaka secured power, have both been invited by the latter to join the proposed Commission and that oth have declined. This is. terpreter to mean that the united support which the Premier is counting upon will not be forthzoining.
