MANY TOKYO MURDERS
LAWLESSNESS IN JAPAN RIOTOUS STUDENTS LOOSE (Australian and X.Z. Press Association) TOKYO, Saturday. The coronation ceremonies at Kobe came to a climax with the police extremely nervous. Searches and arrests have been prevalent, and there have been numerous charges of lese majeste. It is now reported that In November there were 60 murders in Tokyo and its suburbs, besides another eight committed by burglars. There were hundreds of armed burglaries and many cases of wounding and other crimes in proportion, while the arrests were few. Political crime, however, still monopolises the attention of the authorities, and there was serious trouble at Hokkaido Imperial University, where 1,000 students caused a riot. They destroyed property and beat officials and professors, in consequence of the president’s report to the Minister of Education, Mr. K. Shoda. The Minister reported to Cabinet that although the riots wore ostensibly a protest against the dismissal of one of the students, they were really the result of deep-rooted Radicalism among the students.
