Both warnings went unheeded, and popular approval of the Army's dramatic move put Premier Inukai in power. Last week he hobbled around to the Foreign Office and personally took it over from Baron Shidehara who made a last shrill speech to his former subordinates, urging "peace . . . conciliation . . . keeping faith...
