add to cart   close window

The article presents information regarding various developments around the world. Delayed dispatches from Tokyo give for the first time a more or less complete account of the demonstrations for manhood suffrage which resulted in the dissolution of the Japanese Diet on February 26, 1920. The popular agitation over the suffrage debate in the Diet was increased by the fact that 20,000 men were idle on account of a serious strike in the government steel works. Japanese Premier Takashi Hara avoided the issue for the government by dissolving the Diet.
