Tokyo, Mar. 26.
CONSIDERABLE stir appears to have been caused in political circles by certain strong remarks made in the Diet by Major-General, Akira Muto, Director of the Military Affairs Bureau at the War Office and late Chief-of-Staff of General Homma, in Tientsin.
His assertion that.if there existed in Japan a political party which was so engrossed in pushing partisan interests that it appeared forgetful of the national polity, it should be dissolved if it stubbornly refused to reconsider its attitude, is generally assumed to be addressed to the Minseito Party, in rebuke of its attitude in the recent Takeo Saito case.
