JAPANESE ACCEPT
" REGIMENTED LIFE
Bow Docilely to Strict De
crees Governing Mode of
Living Taxes Rise as
Expense of War Mounts.
TOKYO (UP) Regimentation, ab
horred In the United States, La ac
cepted with a meek shrug In Japan.
The government put into effect
a law restricting the use of gasoline
and the Japanese motor car owner,
without protest, rides street cars and
buses.
The government Invokes a law pro
viding for registration of all citizens
and for regular reports on their ac
tivities. There are no mass meetings
to denounce Invasion of personal
rights.
Taxes are raised, press and personal
freedom are restricted, It Is decreed
- that wood fiber must go Into wear
ing apparel still no public uproar.
The Japanese have a word for -It.
"Shlkataganal," they say, a. fatal
istic expression Indicating that the
matter la beyond human control.
They say It as they pull their belts
tighter and pay higher prices for
, everyday commodities. They say It
when sons are killed at the front
or when a favorite nephew who
would prefer to be a doctor or
teacher is called to the colors as
a soldier.
Loyal to Emperor
There Is no thought of non-cooperation.
Many Japanese are not In
favor of the war in China, but they
. would not think of refusing help.
.That would be disloyalty to the em
- peror, the most serious crime possible.
The China conflict thus far has
not resulted In any food scarcity In
Japan. Food costs more but there
seems to be an ample supply.
"I think the people would stand
for almost anything as long as their
leaders obtain food for them." said
an American who has watched the
phenomenon for several years.
"I sincerely believe they could tear
up the street-car tracks or tear down
buildings to obtain steel If It should
become necessary and the people
would, not grumble greatly, if the
results at the end are not consid
ered sufficient reward for the hard
ships undergone then there may be
trouble.
"But while the fight Is on they
work together. I don't see any signs
of a collapse In public morale."
There has been much discussion
of a possible financial collapse In
Japan.
The latest issue of the Oriental
Economist, a monthly report of so
cial, economic and political condi
tions in Japan, discusses the question.
War Costs Estimated
"The emergency war disbursements
y up to March 20 were less than 1,800,
000,000 yen," the magazine stated.
"Calculated on the basis of 100 yen
equalling $29, the emergency expend
itures em not exceed $464,000,000.
Bprend. over the eight months since
the outbresi of the hostilities, thla
represents an average monthly out'.ey
or less than 58,oou,000 "
The writer estimated ' that even
with mounting emergency expendi
tures "It remains doubtful whether
the entire supplementary appropria
tions approved by the idlet session
ean be used up within the next year."
Since August, 1937, exports and Im
ports of gold and of certain other
ommoditles have not been made

vancements made in living

PUblle. This has been lntArnretari
covering a weakened position. The
wnoniai economist stated that while
tne individual Items have not been
published they have been included
In published totala which show that
japan e import balance la not so
unfavorable as might be supposed.
Trade Figures Withheld
The trade figures are withheld
under the lndustrlsl esninnuBA uw
so that foreign governments and the
people at home may not know the
details of how much Is going Into
munitions.
It la the fashion In Japan for
leaders to talk of "a national crll"
or a "drastic emergency." it la some
times inougni that alarms are raised
occasionally so that greater grants of
power may be accorded those In
control. Following up that line of
thought, It might be reasoned that
perhaps the present situation Is not
so serious aa some of Japan's harsh
control methods might Indicate.
Leaders might h itxlno th ,.,.
circumstances to Impose a type of
government which would not be pop
ular In less strenuous times.
In recent years the economic struc
ture of Japan has been shifting
toward a cartel system with the
government snonsnrlnff mmhini(,nna
of firms In related Industrial fields.
J ne government has begun a process
which easily could make absolute
government monopolies out of all
basic Industries.
Industry In Japan Is so firmly
controlled that a reduction in nm.

into errect almost overnight. Con
versely, a war Industry can be stepped
to higher production with a speed
Which would not he nriMlhln

long lead aa the most frequent dis
senters.
Through mid-May. McReynolds had
disagreed with the majority views in
37 cases, Butler in 31 cases. Retired
Justice George Sutherland, who left
the beneh on February 1. dissented
in 13 cases during hia half-term of
service.
By far th most frequent dissenter
of the liberal bloc was Justice Hugo
L. Black, several of whose dissenting
opinions were widely publicised be
cause they expressed his opposition
to long-accepted judicial standards
and urged their overthrow.
Espouses New principle
For instance, he chose a compara
tively minor case. In which the court
in a per curiam "opinion ordered
further lower oourt consideration of
validity of ratee proposed for the
Indianapolis Water company, to ex
press his bitter opposition to any
interference by federal courta with
rate regulations of state utility regu
latory bodies.
Black contended that regxilatlon of
utility rates was a purely state affair,
and that federal courts had over

stepped their authority In aver as
suming to pas on validity of pro
posed utility rate regulations.
Similarly, he chose a relatively
unimportant case involving Imposi
tion of a California franchise tax
on, the Connecticut General Life In
surance company to express hla firm
belief that federal courta erred in
extending protection of the consti
tution's due process clause to corpo
rations. He charged that when the 14th
amendment was enacted providing
that no state shall "deprive any per
son of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law," congress and
state legislators Intended only that
the protection should be extended to
persons, not to corporations.
Black pointed out that the amend
ment was adopted following the Civil
war as a protection 'to the Negro
race, and added:
"No section of the amendment
gnve notice to the people that, If
adopted, It would subject every state
law and municipal ordinance, affect
ing corporations (and all adminis
trative actions under them) to cen
sorship of the United States courta.

Declares Court Erred
The original error, he charged, was
committed In the 1890a, when the
supreme court held that the word
"person" In the due process clause
was sufficiently broad to extend pro
tection of the clause to corporations.
Again, he stood by himself in two
cases involving validity of patents to
charge that the courts had erred In
Interpreting patent law, and that the
Interpretation placed on that law by
the supreme court Itself in effect
encouraged extension of monopolies
through patent extensions wh lch
congress never had intended to au
thorise. Altogether. Black dissented in lfi
cases through mid-May. Justloe Har
lan F. Stone had dissented five times.
Justice Benjamin N. Cardoso four
times, Justloe Owen J. Roberts and
Justice Stanley F. Reed twice, and
Justice Louis D. Brandels, dean of
the liberal bloc, only once.
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
through mid-May, was the only Jus
tice enjoying an "always-right" rec
ord. In a few cases, Hughes disqual
