BARON HIRANUMA CALLED ON
POLICY IN CHINA
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.)
(Received January 5, 10 a.m.) TOKIO, January 4
The Premier, Prince Konoye, today tendered the resignation of the Government.
! The resignation was caused by the | demand of the Home Minister, Mr. jSuetsugu, for the fusion of all political groups into a single national party, which the two major parties, the Minseito and the Seiyukai, strongly opposed. The Emperor has asked the 73----year-old Baron Hiranuma, President of the Privy Council, to form a Cabinet. In a statement, Prince Konoye said that the China incident had entered a new stage with which the Cabinet felt lack of ability to cope, and therefore it had resigned. The Government's fundamental, policy in China was unshakeable. It must concentrate on the construction of a new order capable of maintaining lasting peace and formulating new policies under a new Cabinet, which was urgently necessary to enhance the nation's confidence.
