Japan has a new Prime Minister

Despite his countries successes in China, Prince Fumimaro Konoe is resigning his position as Prime Minister of Japan.

He said he was tired of being a robot for the military. His resignation became official yesterday with the instatement of the newly appointed Baron Hiranuma.

Konoe will now be chariman of the Privy Council.

Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma is notable for his Spartan lifestyle: he sleeps four hours per day, eats only two meals and participates regularly in the sports of archery and fencing. He does all this at the wise age of 73 years. The new Prime Minister is also a founder of a patriotic society.
