Fixed number of aeroplanes supplied Besides the foregoing, an increase of approximately 300 aeroplanes for military service is contemplated. The above figures do not include school machines. The Army has seventeen fortresses at places of strategic importance in different parts of Japan proper and its dependencies. At each of these fortresses, a heavy artillery regiment or battalion is stationed, and in some cases an air force detachment. POLICE FORCES. i. Metropolitan Area. State Police. The State police is in each department under the orders of a prefect (inspector-general of police for the department of Tokio). The central Government is responsible for the general administration and inspection of the police. The approximate strength of the State police (October 1932) is 66,ooo-viz., 300 inspectors, 1,700 commissioners, 3,200 deputy commissioners and 60,8o00 constables. The State police are armed with sabres. Revolvers are not included in the regulation equipment, but instruction is given in their use.

This training is given by the physical training and other instructors chosen from among the police N.C.O.s. Military Gendarmerie. The military gendarmerie comes under the administrative jurisdiction of the Ministry of War; it is placed under the direction of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Justice for the purposes of service relating to the maintenance of order and judicial police requirements. The approximate strength of the military gendarmerie is 2,200 (in I936). The gendarmes are armed with revolvers and sabres. They possess no collective arms. The gendarmes are recruited by the voluntary engagement of N.C.O.s and men from the army. The nature and duration of contracts and obligations for N.C.O.s are similar to those applicable to officers and N.C.O.s of the army. The term of contract for gendarmes is four years (including service performed in the army). Gendarmes attend courses in military, administrative and judicial police duties, and are trained in the use of individual arms (revolver and sabre). The training of recruits is given by the N.C.O.s of the gendarmerie and by civilian teachers. 2. Oversea Territories. (May 9th, 1933.) i. Korea Police Force.

The oversea police forces receive training for individual service and in the use of individual arms. The police are recruited by voluntary engagement for periods of three to five years (four years for the gendarmerie), including service performed in the army. RECRUITING SYSTEM AND PERIOD OF SERVICE. Military service is compulsory from the age of 17 to the age of 40. The service is divided as follows : standing army, consisting of active service forces and the first reserve; second reserve ; replacement service and territorial service. PERIOD OF SERVICE. Category of service Duration Age ctive service Army.. 2 from 20 to 21 Standing ) Na vy. o20 to 22 Standing Farmy irst reserve Army.. /3 2 to 26 FNavy to 26 Second reserve Navy v ji 27 t to 3I 3 Replacement service to 3 Territorial service.. 24 I 7 to 40 Those who are fit for active service are enrolled by lottery, at each conscription district, for active service or first or second replenishment reserve. (Volunteer enrolments for active service are accepted.) Those having finished the period of active service are placed on the first reserve list for terms as stated above. At the end

6 552 JAPAN of such terms they are removed to the second reserve, and then finally to the national service. Those who have gone through the period of replenishment reserve service are also transferred to the national service. By virtue of a revision of the conscription law in I927, the active service of conscripts who have finished the course of a Seinen Kunrenjo (Young Men's Training Institute) is reduced by six months, while that of the graduates from normal schools by nineteen months. The term of active service for graduates of middle schools and highergrade schools who have received full military training while at school has been reduced to I2 months for the former and Io months for the latter. Volunteers. The number of volunteers who are from 17 to 20 years of age was 25,891 in 1935, 13,926 of whom were allowed to enter the active service. Examination for Conscription. Total number examined I , , ,505 I , , I,099 i ,969 ' , ,802 RECRUITMENT OF OFFICERS AND N.C.O.s. Officers of all arms are selected either from cadet-officers leaving the single Military Academy or from N.C.O.s who have been admitted to and have passed through the same school. Non-commissioned officers of all arms are recruited from men who have passed through the non-commissioned officers' schools. ARMY EDUCATION. Schools providing instruction in military affairs are of three categories, as follows: i. Those under the authority of the Department of Military Education : Artillery and Engineering School. Infantry School. Cavalry School. Field Artillery School. Heavy Field Artillery School. Engineers' School. Signallers' School. Mechanical Transport School. Toyama School. Military Academy. Military Preparatory School. 4 Non-Commissioned Officers' Schools.

7 JAPAN The Staff College (Tokio City) under the direct control of the General Staff. 3. Those under the control of various bureaux of the Ministry of War: Tokorozawa Flying School. Akeno Flying School. Shimoshizu Flying School. Engineering School. Intendance School. Army Medical School. Army Veterinary School. Gendarmerie Training School. The Flying School at Tokorozawa is to give necessary training to military fliers as to how to handle and repair an aeroplane and its engine, besides a knowledge of the materials of which aeroplanes and engines are constructed. This school is opened to civilian students. The Flying School at Shimoshizu is to teach aerial photography, aerial communications and reconnoitring. The Akeno Flying School gives courses to army pilots on aerial warfare, handling of machine-guns on an aeroplane and also on the construction of aerial weapons. EFFECTIVES. In 1936, there were about 250,000 officers, N.C.O.s and men. MILITARY STATUTE OF THE ISLANDS UNDER JAPANESE MANDATE. Area.2,i49 Population (X. I936).. I07,000 sq. km. The Islands under Japanese mandate belong to category " C " of the mandated territories, which are administered under the laws of the Mandatory as integral portions of its territory. According to Article 4 of the mandate, the military training of the natives, otherwise than for purposes of internal police and the local defence of the territory, is prohibited. Furthermore, no military or naval bases can be established or fortifications erected in the territory. The maintenance of peace and order in the territory is placed exclusively in the hands of the police. The strength of the police force at the end of June 1933 was 229 units, including police inspectors, police sergeants, European and native policemen. By virtue of the " Rules for the Control of Guns and Gunpowder ", promulgated in 1922, no natives are permitted to possess or use guns or gunpowder for any purpose whatever.

8 554 JAPAN In the mandated territory, no one has so far been granted permission to manufacture guns or explosives. The guns existing in the territory are very few in number, nearly all of which are used for hunting purposes, and only a few are possessed for self-protection, and explosives are chiefly used either in engineering work or in hunting. Whenever needed, they are imported from Japan by official permission.' II. Navy. NAVAL AUTHORITIES, PERSONNEL, ETC. The naval authorities consist of: The Minister (admiral). One Parliamentary and one Permanent Vice-Minister (vice-adm.) and the following Bureaux: Combatant Services ; Personnel ; Supplies; Construction ; Education ; Engineering ; Medical; Finance ; Law. There is also an Admirals' Council consisting of five members, and a Naval Staff Board consisting of one admiral and one vice-admiral. Schools : Naval Staff College; Cadets' School; engineering, medical, navigation, gunnery, torpedo, submarine, surgery and paymaster schools. Naval Ports. The coast of Japan is divided into three naval districts, each having its naval port-i.e., Yokosuka, Sasebo and Kure. At each of these ports there is a naval command, with an arsenal, a marine corps and other provisions necessary for a naval base. Besides, there are strategic ports at Maizuru, Ominado and Chinhai (Chosen). NAVAL ARSENALS AND SHIPBUILDING. Each naval command has an arsenal provided with a shipbuilding yard and possesses a dry dock for accommodating large warships. The Yokosuka and Kure arsenals each have two slips, one capable of taking in super-dreadnoughts of over 40,000 tons, but the Sasebo and Maizuru arsenals are provided only with one slip for building cruisers and lesser ships. Besides the above there are private establishments approved by the navy. They are the Mitsubishi Shipyard at Nagasaki, Kawasaki Shipyard at Kobe and six others. The first two have capacity for building super-dreadnoughts. i These data are taken from the report of the Japanese Government to the Council of the League of Nations on the administration of the Islands in 1933.

9 JAPAN 555 SUPPLY OF BUILDING MATERIALS AT HOME. Japan is almost self-supporting as regards navy materials. Armour plates, rails, etc., are now turned out to the extent of about 190o,ooo tons a year at the Imperial Iron Works at Yawata, Kiushiu, the plates being also produced at the naval yard belonging to the Kure naval command. A steel works established in I903 at Muroran, Hokkaido, as a joint undertaking of the Hokkaido Colliery and Steamship Co. and Armstrong and Vickers, with the countenance of the navy, is devoted to manufacturing guns as well as commercial products. Siamese teak and Oregon pine are used for decks, while foreign oak and maple are used for decorative parts. Japanese " Zelkowa " oak also serves for the latter purpose. ACTIVE SERVICE PERSONNEL. Officers.-Besides the executive officers there are in the civil branch engineers, surgeons, pharmacists, hydrographers, and construction, mechanical and ordnance officers. The executive officers, engineers and paymasters are trained respectively at the Naval Academy, Engineering Academy and Paymasters' School. The other noncombatant officers are appointed from among the candidates who should be graduates of universities or other schools of similar grade. Petty and Warrant Officers-The former are appointed by selection from among the Ist-class seamen, and are of three classes,.while for the latter Ist-class petty officers are eligible. Warrant officers with not less than 5 years' meritorious active service may be commissioned and subsequently promoted as special service officers to the rank of Lieut.-Commander or even higher. THE NAVAL AIR FORCE. The Naval Air Force of Japan consists of (i) 71- aeroplane corps and i airship corps at Kasumigaura, 5 aeroplane corps at Yokosuka, 51 aeroplane corps at Tateyama, I~aeroplane corps at Sasebo, 2½ corps at Omura, ii corps at Kure, I½ corps at Saheki and I½ corps at Ominato; and (2) The aircraft-carriers proper, Kiaga, Akagi, Hosyo, Noloro, Ryuzyo, Kamnai and several other ships. The battle planes in use in the Naval Air Force are of type 3 and of another newer type recently adopted. The bombers and torpedo planes in use are of type I3.
