Rule of 1924 Related to the Independent Farmer Establishing and Maintaining Assistance

Abstract

Japanese capitalism in the 1920's was in a crisis, and many tenant disputes arose. The government, therefore, constituted the Tenant System Research Committe to reform the tenant system. The TSRC established three plans as set forth in the Tenant Act and the Rule in respect of the Independent Farmer establishing and maintaining the system. The Rule related to the Independent Former was enacted in 1926. This paper traces discussions within the TSRC and other places in an effort to clarify this rule.
