I" i i -it SI 1 ..' J? 'I Japanese Paper? Favor Limitation , Of All Armament Defeat of Resolution Prbpos. jog Curtailment Does Not End Campaign, Is Concen- - - sus of Press Opinion. ' Toko,. Feb. 1 I. (By The As sociated. Tress.) Defeat o Vukio Ozaki's resolution, proposing Cur tailment of naval armaments in the house of reprcbentatrfes heretolay does not, end the campaign against military and naval expansion and in favor of more constructor wgrk atl home, according to newspaper coniVl . ments on the situation. Thtf Asahil Shimbun of Osaka declares that M. Ozaki's suggestion, was "timely," while 'the Yonii; Urin Shimbun: of this city asserts an agreement be- . tween the powers to limit arma ments it obligatory to save Japan from "eventual baTikrtrptey." - Although it was not expected that the resolution would be adopted, and some of his.-; friends' advised' him against insisting upon a vote be cause rejection would be likely to be misinterpreted abroad, Mf Ozaki requested a division of the house. a an address he warned his country men that curtailment of armaments was cotrring upon the heels of the league of nations, which he was con vinced was; upon a. solid fete-ting. ' "If naval expansion, Jie declared, ""''is aimed at America, it ts ridiculous and futile, as an examination of the relative strengths- oi Japan -nd the United States wijl demonstrate', Japan should take 'the . initiative in 'restricting armaments and nop fol low the fnample of Germany, which proved ! that expansion of arfha ments results in the growth of socialism and communism." ,' War Aheai Senator Borah's Prediction v (ContlButd From Pace One.) , fairs committee should make public any information it possesses on this subject. .! "We read in the -newspapers that Ambassador Geddes is on his -way here from London to lay a definite disarmament proposal before- ' the United States government," he said. "On the other hand. ve are beinsr told that Great Britain is inspiring, talse propaganda m this country to induce us to stop building. '- talse propaganda was one of the reasons why we went to war with Germany 1 Avant to inquire whether the naval committee inquired into this matter." Senator Poindexter admitted that some testimony had been taken on this subject, but that. the committee'i had not considered it wise to make it public. Senator Borah insisted that ifsthe committee had such im portant information it should be gn en to the public, but added that in his opinion - the statements were groundless. ' y Want Cfoser Understanding.? v Senator Bcandegee of Connecticut called attention to press dispatches from London stating that Ambassa dor Geddes was on his way to the United States to "obtain a closer un derstanding'? between the two na tions and failing to obtain such "closer understanding," would make it known to the United States, that - British naval building would con tinue unabated, '' "I don't know exactly what ' is meant by a closer understanding," said Senator Brandegee. "I can t believe that the dispatches are re liable. If this is a fact it is just as nefarious and inimical to ur inter ests as the act of German diplomats for which they were put out of the country before the war." Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking democratic- member 'of the senate foreign relations committee, called attention to the fact that Japan was going ahead with the building , cf capital ships notwithstanding the if commendations of British officials. Pie considered the Japanese naval authorities just as up-to-date and alert as any in the world. ',fv ,(' Japan Building Battleships. " ; "That may be true," replied Sen ior Borah, "but Japan is not build ing, battleships to the exclusion practically of all other craft." He declared that at least six battle ships should tie eliminated from the present building program and the money used to build submarines and inraii. , i . I Senator Borah promised to furnish t!ie naval committee with the names If o officers who believe that capital ships jre obsolete and that future reliance should be placed in subma ,; r'nes and- aircraft. H; read a com-;- munication from a prominent retired admiral whose name he declined to ,i make public,, stating that "a surface ,? riavy can go nowhere in the futite but to- the bottom" affld that "it si could do nothing but sink " The ',, same admiral contended that the j United States would be entirely safe JJ; from invasion if it constructed suf " ficient aircraft and submarines.
