***************************************************************************
From the Ministry of Commerce
The Ministry notes the continued strong performance of our industries in the Home Islands. The Ministry would like the Government to explore whether our possessions in Korea and Luzon are ready for possible expansion to industrial production given the limited land left in Japan to build new factories. ((Is the colony flag in the Diplomacy box as sign that we can upgrade Korea or Luzon to states so that we can start building factories there?))
The Ministry also asks that the Foreign Ministry consider promoting friendship with Manchuria, to move them out of the Russian control, and possibly to allow our industrialists to access their vast natural resources which we need to maintain the fire of industry.
The Ministry applauds the Minister for the Interior in his promotion of workers for the factories, and we implore the various corporations to consider expansion of their existing works to take advantage of the labour coming in from the farms to the cities.
In return, the Ministry asks the Finance Ministry to maintain subsidies for all of our factories as the Government's guarantee and vote of confidence in our capitalists. Hopefully, the industrials classes will realise that the NLP is the party they should support for ongoing profits and jobs.
Finally, to the Minister of War, I note that in my previous role as Minister for the Interior, I undertook a programme to promote enlistments to bolster our army during its conflict with foes without and within Japan. As a result, we now possess the capacity to raise a further 36 brigades. Rather than place a strain on our industry with a mass arming, may I humbly suggest a first stage of filling out all existing Corps to a new standing Order of Battle of 39,000 men, from the current 27,000, by adding 2 Rifle and 2 Artillery brigades per Corps, which plays to the strengths of our machine gun and breech loading howitzer companies. This would involve raising a total of 36 brigades. I would also suggest reviewing our Transport fleet to ensure it has a capacity to carry a Corps at any one time, by having at least 13 Steam Transports. Over time, we can look to raise a new marine Corps, the Special Naval Landing Force, for a rapid amphibious force for our Pacific possessions.
