Army Pamphlet Incident - Rikugun Pamphlet Incident

Japanese: 陸軍パンフレット事件 - りくぐんパンフレットじけん

In October 1934, the Army Ministry's Press Section published and distributed a pamphlet entitled "The True Meaning of National Defense and Proposals for Its Strengthening," which claimed that "in order to strengthen national defense, it is necessary to reform the economic system and other areas," and caused a controversy. This was seen as a demonstration by the Army before the budget was compiled, but political parties and the media strongly opposed it. The military desperately tried to explain, and eventually the political parties stopped fighting back, but after the Manchurian Incident (1931), the military began to make more political statements.

1934年 10月，陸軍省新聞班が，パンフレット『国防の本義と其の強化の提唱』を通じ，「国防強化のためには，経済機構などを改革する必要がある」として，その方策を発表，配布し，問題化した事件。これは予算編成期を前にした陸軍側の示威行為とみられるが，政党，言論界は強く反発した。軍は必死に釈明し，やがて，政党も反撃をやめたが，満州事変 (1931) 以後，軍は政治的発言を強めるようになった。
