There was an uproar in the Diet when Mr Takao Saito, the leader of the Minseito Party, caustically attacked the Government, demanding a statement on its war aims. Members cried “No” when Mr Saito said: “Peace can be offered only when the country keeps the army in the background.” This is being seen as a suggestion that the army should withdraw from China before negotiating for peace.
