Tokyo, July 24.
Emboldened by the favourable reception accorded his previous radio addresses, Prince Fumimaro Konoye, the Premier, will broadcast a concise statement on the nation's domestic, foreign and financial policies on Wednesday.
Patterned after the famous "fire side talks" of President Roosevelt, the Premier's address will go on the air at 8 o'clock at night. This is the first time a political address has been given in Japan at that hour when, surveys have revealed, virtually all radio receivers in the nation are turned on. Prince Konoye has a pleasant radio voice.
The address will incorporate the highlights of his own message in the Diet as Premier and those of Mr, Koki Hirota, Foreign Minister, and Mr. Okinori Kaya, Finance Minister. These are expected to be delivered at the first session of the special session of the Diet on Wednesday morning.
Twenty minutes have been allotted to Prince Konoye's address.
