OCTOBER 8. 1945 ANTHILIM PREMIER TAKES NIPPON'S REINS Shidehara Will Try To ' Form Cabinet For Hirohito TOKYO, Oct. 8 (JP) The trembling old hands of Baron Kljuro Shidehara, who fought Japanese military aggression from its start, today picked up the reins of Japanese govern ment which ho said he hopes to make truly liberal. Th e 73-ycar-old enfeebled baron was summoned dramati cally from 14 years of retire ment, forced upon him by the militarists whom he opposed, to become premier of Japan at its most critical point In history. Resignations He promised Emperor Hiro hito to "do my best" to form a cabinet that would meet with the approval of allied occupa tion authorities. Ex-Premier Prince Hlgashi-Kuni and the first ppst-war cabinet resigned en bloc yesterday because they were unable to put into effect sweeping measures designed to substitute democratic freedom for feudalism in Japan. Shldehara's first official act was to reappoint Shigeru Yo shida as foreign minister, Domci reported. Yoshlda, who had stepped out with the Higashi Kuni cabinet, was said to have accepted the reappointment. The new premier announced that he expected to complete his cabinet within two or three days. u , . .To See-MacArthur , Shidehara was Invested by the emperor at 1:22 p. m. (8:22 p. m. Friday, PST).
