“DIVINE WAY”
JAPANESE PREMIER’S CLAIM NO NEED FOR FOREIGN METHODS. IN HOME & EXTERNAL AFFAIRS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) TOKIO. January 16. The Prime Minister, Baron Hiranuma, in an interview declaring that Japan had neither the intention nor need to adopt totalitarianism, expressed the opinion that both totalitarianism and individualism long had been merged in a “divine way,” forming the guiding principle of Japanese politics, which the Emperor Meiji had declared Japanese statesmen must pursue in' home and foreign affairs. Baron Hiranuma added that Japan’s political parties must have the interests of the Imperial family uppermost and accordingly any scramble for power for power’s sake must be deprecated. Baron Hiranuma has asked all the members of Prince Konoye’s former Cabinet who had resigned to remain in office.
