But fascism is not merely a fili- bustering expedition of discontented capitalist class to get complete con- trol of governing powers and throw position to their terrorist rule from the working people. So back of the comparatively small number who took part in this uprising there must have been big financiers and industrialists who were alarmed at the continuance of the “moderates” in power as evidenced by the parlia- mentary elections held a week be- fore, and who wanted a complete fascization of the Japanese state. It was the same “moderates,” in Premier Qkada, who was at first thought slain, will resign and be succeeded, possibly by General Araki. If this takes place it would seem to indicate that after all the fascists will have attained a victory, and that the change was made io avert a civil war. Certainly there is no greater re- actionary in Japan than General Araki. He has always been a fascist leader, and it was he who launched the Kodo movement, the theory of which is based upon the claim that solini goes part way by slorifying Correspondence SUGGESTIONS FOR GUR RADIO TALKS listeners, I shall give you mine. read the paper itself to get fuller in- formation. many of the important events as possible and then refer the listeners had big news from Spain and Japan.
