BACKGROUND— Washington naval treaty, de= nounced by Japan in December, 1934, and subseguent conferences for renewal of ncval agreement be- tween the United States, Great Britain and Japan came to nothing. Naval conference in London last Winter failed to reveal basis for agreement between the three coun- tries, Japan insisting on abolition of ratios in disarmament agree- ments, and the United States re= fusing to concede the island em- pire parity. United States and Great Britain eoncluded agreement, however, for full erchange of information on naval building, dbut not limiting construction. By the Asscciated Press. TOKIO, October 15.—Japan agreed formally to retention of the “subma- rine humanizing” clause of the London naval treaty. Shigeru Yoshida, Japanese Ambas- sador to London, was instructed to | sign a new agreement retaining the | submarine clause, which is part 4 of | the original pact. Arrangements for the new accord ‘were completed late in 1935 when the United States, Great Britain and Japan decided to continue the section indefinitely. The three powers agreed to embody the clause, which limits the activities of submarines, in a separate protocol. At least two other nations—France and Italy—have consented recently to participate in the new accord. Great Britain, it was understood, intends to invite additional countries— possibly Germany, Russia, Norway, Sweden and Denmark—to adhere to the submarine clause. The date for formal signature of the document, at London, has not been set. . ‘The new protocol weuld extend sec- tion 4 of the naval treaty, which ex- pires December 31, 1936. In two divisions, the signatories would bind themselves to observe rules | of international law under which sur- face vessels operate. In addition, they agree to accept these specific regulations governing the use of submarines: Undersea craft—except in the case of persistent refusal to stop on being duly summoned, or of active resistance to visit or search—may not “sink or render incapable of navigation a merchant vessel without having first placed passengers, crews and ship’s papers in a place of safety,” Lan.don __(Continued Prom First Page.) line for the New Deal” he said. “Its members should answer this un- American dictation at the polls in No- vember.” Landon cencluded his sppeal - for Michigan's 19 electoral votes at Stur- gis this morning.

For 15 minutes after his speech, Landon shook hands with as many well-wisherseas could pass in a re- ceiving line, and then left for the home of Senator Vandenberg. With his major speeches out of the way, Landon increased the number of his back-platform talks to 10—at Sturgis, Mich.; Kendallvile, Hunting- ton.

It should be organized to pre- serve Belgium from war. 2. It should be built up to remedy its present defects. The King asked for strict neutral- ity in the Spanish civil war to pre- vent entanglements which might en- danger the country’s peace.

PARIS OFFICIALS SURPRISED, Declaration Seen as Death Thrust at Security, PARIS, October 15 (#).—Belgian neutrality statements, interpreted as forerunning possible cancellation of “profound stupor” among officials to- day.
