Tokyo, Jan. 16.
A ten-day adjournment of the Diet, due to reconvene on January 21 after the New Years holidays, will be sought by the newly-installed Government, political circles indicated today.
Cabinet members were reported to have agreed that they would be able to face the Diet by February 1 at their first official meeting this morning.
The Government may order the probation of either the House of Peers or the Lower Chamber for not more than 15 days or a recess may be declared by either house at its own initiative. It was understood that the Government would seek to have the two Houses vote in favour of a recess.
This time will be needed, it was pointed out, for the Ministers to familiarize themselves with their duties—Domei.
