A Test of Statesmanship. | | | (Cincinnati Enquirer.) | The Japanese Cabinet has decided to repudiate the naval ratio agreements which have governed the naval armaments of the leading sea powers since This means that Japan will not sign any amament treaty in the 1935 conference unless ords to her virtual equality. Hitherto the navies of the three leading powers have been limited on the basis of the 5-5-3 ratio, on the assumption that this gives each a navy strong enough to defend its territories and weak enough to be unable to| attack without foreign aid. That principle appears to have been well found- It produces three navies in substantial equilib- rium.
