JAPS NOT TRYING TO EQUAL AMERICA eraft today | Naval Authorities Decry As Prepos- | terous, Charge That They Are Competing. | Tokio, March 24, | Press).—Assertions that the Japanese | naval program was being followed ! for the purpose of competing with the United States navy were de- nounced as ‘“preposterous and ab- surd” by Vice Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, Japanese minister of marine in an interview with the Associated Press here today. He declared that the Japanese naval program had been (By Associated v o formulated so that the island pire could be defended against any emergencies arising in the Far East alone. During the course of the interview the minister emphasized the fact that Japan's project to have a fleet of eight battleships and eight battle cruisers not over eight years old, was i not necessarily irreducible. He indi- cated that if all the naval powers would agree to a *“naval holiday” he would not insist upon the completion of the naval program.” “Let me say,” the minister ex- { plained, ‘“‘that our idea in consider- !ing the existence of the two squadrons {the irreducible minimum necessary | for naval defense, originated after l(he Chino-Japanese war and before the Russo-Japanese conflict. “I regret very much to see sinister ‘propagandists or mischief makers trying to attribute our naval pro- gram to a desire to compete with the United States navy. Nothing could be more preposterous and absurd than this contention. Needless to say the Japanese navy desires the most cordial relations with the United States navy.” ——————————— GINSBURG’S DRESS PLAITING, BUTTON AND HEMSTITCHING SHOP MOVED TO | 19 Walnut Street Rear Building.
