LEAD: DPJ to submit no-confidence motion against Aso as early as Monday+

TOKYO, July 10 Kyodo -
(EDS: ADDING INFO IN 2ND, 6TH GRAFS)
Democratic Party of Japan leader Yukio Hatoyama suggested Friday that the party
will introduce to the Diet a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Taro
Aso's Cabinet as early as Monday after observing the outcome of the upcoming
Tokyo metropolitan assembly election.

In order to transfer power smoothly if the DPJ forms a government, Hatoyama
proposed setting up a liaison committee of ruling and opposition parties
immediately after the Diet is dissolved -- in order to avoid any confusion
resulting from a possible transition of government.
The result of Sunday's Tokyo assembly election ''can be considered as Tokyo
residents passing judgment on the Aso government,'' Hatoyama told a news
conference. ''We will make a decision depending on the outcome (of the
election,)'' he said.
The Tokyo assembly election is seen as a bellwether for a House of
Representatives election, which must be held by October. Hatoyama said he plans
to consult with other senior party members on Monday, as well as other
opposition parties, over whether to submit the motion.
The main opposition party is apparently seeking to have the lower house
dissolved at an early time for a general election by building on the momentum
it hopes to achieve in the Tokyo assembly election, in which it expects to see
large gains.
The proposed liaison panel of ruling and opposition parties is aimed at
responding to possible emergency situations such as natural disasters before
the establishment of the new government, Hatoyama said, demanding bureaucrats
be ''politically neutral'' and provide ''neutral and fair'' information to the
DPJ.
On his plan for forming a government if the DPJ wins the election with a
majority, Hatoyama named three principles -- departure from dependency on
bureaucrats, making lawmakers participate in the government's decision-making
process and eliminating the vertically divided administrative functions of
ministries and agencies.
Hatoyama announced a plan to create a ''national strategy agency'' under the
prime minister to discuss and draw up a long-term national strategy including
foreign policy and a budget framework.
On diplomacy, Hatoyama said the party aims to build a ''solid and equal
Japan-U.S. relationship,'' adding that it is necessary to emphasize the
bilateral alliance especially in a situation where North Korea's nuclear and
missile threats have come to the surface.
Referring to a remark by former DPJ President Ichiro Ozawa saying that the U.S.
7th Fleet is sufficient for securing the U.S. presence in East Asia, Hatoyama
said the party is certainly not thinking about seeking to have U.S. forces
other than the 7th Fleet withdraw from Japan.
''I think Mr. Ozawa made a symbolic remark in one way about changes in the
environment of the times by mentioning about the 7th Fleet,'' Hatoyama said,
expressing the view that role-sharing by Japan and the United States should be
reviewed in line with changes in the environment surrounding the Japan-U.S.
security treaty.
On the revelation of the falsification of a political funds report related to
the DPJ leader, Hatoyama again apologized over the case, saying he was ''truly
thoughtless'' about trusting his secretary who was in charge of accounting for
his management body.
According to Hatoyama, his political fund management body made false statements
in its fund reports using the names of deceased people. His management body is
said to have reported in its financial statements some contributions by
individuals who are already dead or those who claimed they had never donated to
the body.
Hatoyama said that the reason why his secretary made such false statements is
still unclear and his lawyer is investigating the case.
