Bolshevist propaganda

TOKYO Fear of BolsheykU
propaganda in Japan is ever-present
among the heads of the gov
ernment, and it was recently, re
ported that the Home Department
is planning to introduce a bill at
the next 'Diet session for! the. or
ganization of. a Bpecial police ser
vice ta deal with the situation. It
is said 'a yearly outlay of 1.000,'
000 ven will be asked for this
purpose. vr".
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. " ! ' .'.
