POPULATION OF JAPAN
SIX MILLION INCREASE IN FIVE YEARS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) TOKIO, April 18.
The “Nichi Nichi Shimbun” said the population of the Japanese empire at the October, 1940, census totalled 105,000,000, a 6,000,000 increase over 1935, as a result of which it is now claimed that it is the world’s second largest empire, though the rate of increase had declined from 8 4-5 to 61 per cent. It was therefore urgently necessary that the Government should take measures for increased population.
Japan proper has a population of 73,000.000. Tokio has 6,778.000 compared with 5,875,000 in 1935.
