JA*" SEEKS PARLEY SUCCESS Hopes Only to Keep Navy for Defense, Says Admiral. TOKIO, June 2 (#).—Japan's ac- ceptance of President Coolidge’s invi- tation to the Tripartite Conference on the Limitation of Naval Armaments was inspired by a genuine love of peace and a sincere wish to co-operate constructively with the other powers, said Admiral Okada, minister of the navy, in an exclusive statement to the Associated Press today. He em- phasized that his country was ready to reduce its navy “to the minimum of defense requirements,” and with this end in view would engage in a frank discussion with the delegates of the United States and Great Brit- ain, FOKKER PLANE READY T0 HUNT NUNGESSER Final Grooming Given Jeanne D'Arc for Afternoon Take-0ff for Newfoundland. | By the Associated Pre NEW YORK, June 2—The Fokker monoplane Jeanne d'Arc was given its final grooming today for a late after- noon take-off on its Newfoundland search for the missing French airmen, Nungesser and Coli. ; Flown from the Hackensack River yesterday to Port Washington, Long Island, test flights were the order of the day today as soon as equip- ment was completed.

This will make it necessary to move the Mayflower to another dock lying a few hundred feet south of its regular berth. Consideration also was being given by navy vayd officials to the question of whether the general public would be admitted into the yard to receive Capt. Lindbergh. A laige brick area, more than 200 feet square, would serve as the official position for the large reception committee, but the accom- modations for the general public back Iand to the left of this site are some- | what limited.

The arrival of Capt. Lindbergh promises to eclipse anything hereto- fore occurring at the navy vard, and from Capt. McDowell on down to the civilian employes every one today was anxious to learn just what form the reception would take. *They were un- able to predict whether the prolonged greeting and welcoming exercises are %o take place at the dock or whether Capt.

He heard the air minister picture a voyage of future pilgrim fathers, with the posibility of the future Ma flower being an airplane or airship bearing the name Lindbergh. That name, Sir Samuel declared, will go down in _history. Capt. Lindbergh, he said, arrived as a great aviator; he will leave as an old friend of England's. Bidding good-by to the British people, Lindy declared he was looking forward to another visit to the coun- try, to be made at the first oppor- tunity. He said he could not have been greeted with more enthusiasm than has been displayed since he gxnded at the Croydon Air Field Sun- ay. He took occasion to honor the memory of Wilbur Wright and Sir John Alcock and had word« of praise for Ovville Wright, Sir Arthur Whit- ten Brown and Louis Bleriot, saying | that they had all had a part in mak- ing possible his flight across the ocean. He referred to “the courage of the daring aviators in the war, whose feats have no parallel in peace- time aviation.” Says Goodby to Hostess. Capt. Lindbergh, leaving England after a round of entertainments and honors rivaling those he received in France, said good-by to his hostess, Mrs. Alanson B. Houghton, wife of the American Ambassador, at 2 o'clock this afternoon and started for the Kenley airdrome. The flver, instead of going sight- seeing, remained quietly at the Amer- ican embassy all the morning, dispos- ing of private affairs and resting. He had luncheon with Mrs. Houghton, Miss Matilda Houghton and_a few members of the embassy staff before leaving for the airdrome, T'll have to come back and do my sightseeing later,” he said as he took leave of the friends at the embassy, who have entertained him so cordially during his stay in the British capital, To questioners he said that much of his morning had been taken up with assorting gifts and his correspondence, which has become mountainous. No, I didn't receive any animals in the lot so far as I know—not even a black cat,” he replied laughingly to inquiries as to whether he would have a zoo -to take back with him on the Memphis.
