Tokyo, Sept. 22.
One vast youth movement under the sponsorship of the Education Ministry will be established in Japan shortly, according to the vernacular press, with all young men's and women's associations amalgamating into a single Youth Association.
First step toward the creation of the mammoth single association will be the dissolution of the Japan Youth Men's Federation, the Federation of Young Women's Associations, the Federation of Boy Scouts, the Imperial Boy Scouts Association, and the Japan Marine Boy Scouts Associ tion.
Total membership of these five groups alone is approximately 5,100,000.
Youth groups in Korea, Formosa and Karafuto will also be reorganized shortly on a similar basis, to be in a position to ce-operate more closely with the "new structure" Japanese youth movements.
Training of Japan's youth will henceforth be in keeping with the rew structure, and will emphasize "inculcation of the Japanese spirit in line with the need of the country, striving at attaining a high degree of national defence."—Havas.
