Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 3: November 25, 1921 The assassin of the democratic Premier Hara of Japan, it was learned, was a youthful member of one of the famous old feudal families who have had little to do for the past two generations except watch the sun set on the tradi tions that kept Japan a despotism for ages.
