The creation of Manchukuo and the civilian government’s inability to rein in the military only worsened as the Japanese forces continued to encroach on China. Another fatal blow to civilian control occurred in 1932. As the judgment read, “During the first quarter of 1932, HASHIMOTO and Okawa were each preparing the way for the national reorganization or renovation which would rid Japan of democratic politics. On 17 January 1932, HASHIMOTO had published a newspaper article advocating the reform of the Japanese parliamentary system. He propounded the theme that democratic government was incompatible with the principles upon which the Empire was founded. It was, he said, necessary to make a scapegoat of the existing political parties, and to destroy them for the sake of construction a cheerful new Japan.”[lxxx]
