TOKYO,
Feb.
26:
(CP)
Emperor
Hirohito
summoned
Admiral
Mineo
Osumi
to
the
Royal
Palace
today
and
commanded
him
to
form
a
new
cabinet.
This
was
the
first
advice
from
Tokyo
since
reports
indicated
that
a
militarist
uprising
had
occurred
in
the
Japanese
Capital.
Reports
staled
that
young
Army
officers
had
sprung
a
coup
d'etat
at
dawn.
Martial
law
has
been
proclaimed
and
all
communications
with
the
outside
are
cut
off.
The
Japanese
consul-general
to
Manila
said
he
had
been
officially
advised
that
Premier
Okada,
Finance
Minister
Takahashi
and
Viscount
Sailo
had
been
assassinated
in
the
coup.
This
was
also
confirmed
in
Singapore.
DETAILS
OF
COUP
It
was
officially
announced
today
that
the
young
army
officers,
saying
they
wished
to
remove
corrupt
influences
from
around
the
throne,
assassinated
Premier
Okada
and
two
other
cabinet
ministers
as
well
as
wounding
two
other
high
ranking
Japanese
officials
who
died
later.
In
addition
to
Okada,
the
insurgents
killed
Admiral
Viscount
Makato
Saito,
Lord
Keeper
of
the
Privy
Seal
and
former
Premier,
and
Former
Premier
General
Jo-1
taro
Watanaba,
chief
of
military
education.
The
officials
who
died
later
from
their
injuries
were
Korekiyo
Takahashi,
minister
of
finance,
and
Admiral
Kanlaro
Suzuki,
Lord
Chamberlain
of
the
Imperial
Court.
Striking
before
sunrise
the
conspirators
surrounded
the
residences
of
the
men
they
wished
to
kill,
called
them
out
and,
when
they
appeared,
pressed
revolvers
against
them
and
fired.
Later
a
state
of
emergency
was
declared
throughout
the
country
and
the
government
ordered
two
fleets
from
the
high
seas
to
police
duty
at
Tokyo
and
Osaka.
A
later
report
said
that
Emperor
Hirohito
had
commanded
Fumio
Goto,
strong
nationalist,
to
form
a
new
government.

(CP)
The
dream
of
Canadian
governments
since
the
last
Canadian
-
American
trade
treaty
expired
seventy
yeans
ago
became
a
reality
in
the
House
of
Commons
last
night
when
Premier
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King
introduced
the
latest
reciprocity
;reaty
and
proposed
its
rati-"ication.
The
Premier
stressed
the
mutual
advantages
o
be
gained
by
both
countries
in
trade
promotion.
He
predicted
this
would
only
be
an
initial
step
in
that
direction
and
that
wider
conces-'sfdns
would
be
gained
in
the
future
when
this
treaty
expired.
Rt.
Hon.
R.
B.
Bennett,
deader
of
the
Conservative
Opposition,
took
the
oppo
site
viewpoint
that
the
treaty
was
disadvantageous
to
Canada.
Mr.
Bennett
adjourned
-the
debate
which
will
be
resumed
on
Friday.
