THE BARON'S CAREER
AN EXTREME NATIONALIST
(Independent Cable Service.) (Received January 5, H.lO -a.m.)
TOKIO, January 4.
Baron Hiranuma is an extreme Nationalist who created several years ago a semi-Fascist organisation called the Society of the Foundations of the State, designed to unite all patriotic leagues founded from various military groups. He is closely linked with representatives of the army and navy who favour a system modelled on military and Fascist lines.
Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma, vice-pre-sident of the Privy Council, Councillor and member of the Legislative Deliberation Committee,' was born in 1867 and is the son, of a samurai. He graduated at the Law College of the Imperial University at Tokio in 1888 and then became a probationary councillor in' the Judicial Office, after which he was appointed a Judge. He was Judge of the Tokio Court of Appeal, Director of the Civil and Criminal Affairs Bureau, and ultimately, in 1923, became Minister of Justice. In 1924 he became a Privy Councillor and in 1926 vice-president of that body. In the same year he was made a baron.
