September 3 - Japan's new farm minister Takehiko Endo has decided to
resign over a scandal involving a farmers' group that he heads.

Several days ago, the farmers' Mutual Aid Association was found to have
illegally obtained nearly ten thousand US dollars in government subsidies
in 1999. Edo said that he was informed of the matter three years ago,
arguing that he was not directly involved with it.

Endo became farm minister less than a week ago when Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe reshuffled his Cabinet.
