The government has not been amies In adopting measures calcu lated to be effective in coping with untoward developmenU th.at may follow ; the reopening of the country , for intercourse with So viet Russia. Of these measures the most important is, of course the new peace preservation law, which the Diet voted at its last session. Along with this precautionary piece of legislation may be men tloned the steps taken to unify orders issued to the police at home and In Korea, so that there may be cooperation as well as coor dination in their activity Dn the trail of propagandists! There is also the creation ot special police organs to be on Korean frontiers and South Manchurian border lands. .. .!rr,;. All these innovations are. now in full working order. But it has been found that channels for the introduction of "Red propaganda are , rapidly . increasing owing to the growing frequency with which the peoples of the two countries are exchanging visits for commer cial, touring and other purposes and also because of the freedom with which new publications are beine imnorted.
