LIELIHO
TOKIO, July 15 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—The prohibition
movement in the United States has
been followed in Japan by the launch
ing of a project to stop the manufac
ture of sake, Japan’s national drink,
which is distilled from rice.
The end of the war has brought no
check to the steady increase in the
price of the necessities of life, and the
soaring cost of rice, which is the sta
ple food of the Japanese people, is
becoming a grave problem for the gov
ernment. Last year the high price of
rice led to serious riots throughout
the empire.
The Japan Temperance Society has
presented a memorial to the govern
ment urging the prohibition of the
making of rice. The organization
points out that about 15,000,000 bush
els of rice are consumed yearly in its
manufacture. With the population of
Japan increasing at the rate of 600,
000 yearly, and the national rice crop
falling on account of the decrease of
rice lands through civic and industrial
expansion, the organization asserts
that the enormous quantity of rice
used in distilling sake might be turned
to a better use in distributing it as
food for the people. j
Emperor Yoshihito is said to be
deeply concerned over the living con
ditions among his people. Through
his lord chamberlain he recently or
dered the governors of the different
provinces to investigate the changes in
the thought of the masses, the cost of
food for the middle and labor classes,
and the general industrial situation
throughout the empire. The discon
tent of the masses of the people is
seriously occupying the government,
which is trying to devise means of re
lieving the situation.
