Tokyo Shunju Kai (a combination made up of various newspaper companies) demanded a retraction of this punishment by the government, as a result, Rentaro MIZUNO, prewar Minister of Home Affairs, relaxed the ban that 'only official information announced by prewar Ministry of Home Affairs could be published'.
東京春秋会（新聞社複数社で結成された連合）はこのような政府の処分に対し取り消しを要求し、水野錬太郎内務大臣(日本)は「内務省(日本)発表の公報情報のみ掲載を認める」と柔化させた。
