2 e ] JAPANESE DENY NAVAL BASE STORY Ambassador Says Mikado Never Had Intention of Ocoupying Any Ter- ritory on Mexican Coast. SHIPS ARE SALVAGING ASAMA WASBHINGTON, April 16.—An official statement authorized by the Japanese embassy today character- ized as “preposterous” reports that a naval base had been established at Turtle Bay, Lower California, and de- clared “there never has been any in- tention on the part of the Japanese government to locate a naval base or occupy any territory on the west coast of Mexico.” Operations of Japanese warships in Turtle bay, embassy officials said, were solely for the purpose of salvaging the stranded crulser Asama. It was stated that while detalled reports from the scene had not been recefved, s the con- sul general at Ban Francleco was hand- ling the matter, landing on the shore of the bay probably had been found neces- #ary in connection with the salvage work. Of reports that a naval base had been established, the embassy statement sald: “It i more than abeurd; it is pre- posterous. Thére never has been any iIn- tention ori the PArt of the Japanese gov- ernment tb locate A naval base or to oo- cupy any’ terfitory onh the west coast of Mextco.
