The so-called “uselessness” was not the unwarranted suspicion of Ogawa, because it could be seen from many things that the judicial department was so ignored that it was unpopular. The following trivial matter was taken as an example of the treatment of the ministry of justice. The headquarters of the 10th army went from Huzhou to Lishui on December 10th. Many ministers and adjutants flew by the plane, but Ogawa was arranged to take a bus. So, he thought it was “discrimination” and wrote down his “indignation” in his diary that day. This situation was indeed related to the general low status of the civil service. The following account of Ogawa’s diary on December 12th was a true portrayal of this:Our civil officers had no alternative but to accept this kind of discrimination. (In particular, the power of the army was increasingly fierce and extremely arbitrary. The original note: the original text in brackets was removed.) If we only depended on the bestowal, we might be the object of jealousy. However, we were actually regarded as encumbrance on any occasion.46
