WHAT WAR ON THE PACIFIC MEANS.
WOULD BRITAIN STAND OUT?
JAPANESE CRITIC ON THE 70 PER CENT. DEMAND.
In the following article furnished to the United Press by arrangement with the Japan - Advertiser, Tokyo, Dr., S. Washio, a widely-known Japanese publicist, voices the opinion of a considerable section of liberal Japanese, thought regarding the attitude of the Japanese Delega- tion at the Five-Power Naval Conference., The main ground I can discern for Japan's demand of 10 per cent. in auxiliary craft is that of bar gain wisdom.
per
I know no other convincing argu- ment for it. The old theory that the attacking fleet shall not posses a strength greater than 30 cent of the defending feet is too abstract to be taken seriously. Nor is the new theory that America's 100 will suffer 30 per cent. reduc tion of its fighting strength when it is brought over to Japan home water any less abstract.
Nor is the supposition that, divided as is the American defence between the Pacife and Atlantic, she can't be expected to be able to mobilize her entire fleet to the Pacific with any consolation. The fortification of the Philippines and Guam will free America from the former handicap, and understanding with Britain 7.00 7.2227.8 will solve the question of the latter drawback The latter provision is even now na good na made, and according to the Japanese Navy's own propaganda, the naval base at Guam is already well equipped to accommodate 10,000-ton 8-inch gun cruisers. If not, America is almost certain to extent its fortificatione if Japan insists on 70 per cent.

can fleet is in danger of being, defeated, with the alternative of leaving the Facile to the supre macy of the Japanese Htet, will Britain stand by? No, a war with America has to be victory, or the mutual destruction of the two fleets, or Japan has to face the Auglo-American combined strength. To secure our defenes on a war footing, even parity with America will not suffice. It has to be parity or 70 per cent. of the Anglo-American combined strength. This supposition is far less abstract than the present, Navy's stand, and far less fictitious, but it is, of course, impossible for Japan to have such strength. Even if we suppose that Britain will not inter- fere, would America meekly take defeat? If the first engagement ends technically in America's de feat the war would develop into an economic duel of enduranc America will build as fast as she can, and can Japan hope to match her? In the meantime China will be causing against, us all the trou- bles she can conceive, and we shall most likely be engaged in war on the Asintie continent also.

Like Germany, we would have either to capitulate or make desperate efforts to break the ring. 1 fear such is eituation that the international would surround this country if we go to war with America, no matter what may be the cakus belli. The Only Safe Course-Avold War. These considerations must show that there is no such thing no de- fensive parity. Not only is the defensive parity of 70 per cent. & fiction, but there is no practicable defensive parity for this country The only way to assure the safety of this nation is to avoid war with America. And if Navy men are of defence and how wide will the suffering under the nightmare of an ramification become of any major American offensive, the only prac war If war breaks out between | ticable defence against it is to America and Japan, and the Ameri- secure economic self-sufficiency.

A war con- fined between Amerien and Japan, and fought exclusively by the rendy-made strength of the two countries is inconceivable. Has not the World War shown how potent are improvised forces, and how un- defendable are prearranged plans
Even Savy alarmists will not think that America would wantonly at- tack tais over-crowded, closely- exploited, and highly self-conscious people living on friendly terms with America, and drawing considerable material benefits from this relation ship. We need not be speculating on an eventuality that will be fatal to us, and is beyond our power to provide against.

And your nightmare will com more menacing.

You
Was
A Buinous Burden.. Stop and think for moment. Suppose there were no Washington Conference, and you had gone on with your programme of the S- fleet. The naval expenditure of the year before the Conference reached nearly 8500 millions, which nearly one-third of the national Budget. If you had gone on with that pian is would have by this time financially ruined this country without war. Despite your grum. bling the Washington Conference was decidedly a benefit to this country. Get rid of your fiction of 70 per cent, and you will see the prospect of another relief in the Loudon conference. If the confer ence is to be broken by other rea sons we can't help it. If you are hoping that even if the conference breaks on 70 per cent, the reduc- tion of capital ships will be realiz ed, bringing a net advantage to us, you are discounting the bargain wisdom of the other, Powers. Even- if they give us this grace it will only nabet your desire for the ex- pansion of auxiliary craft, which will only put off the inevitable final capitulation we shall have to make. It may be a net advantage in the short view of your professional in- terest, hut a civilian critic like the present writer has the right to think differently,

Practical Wisdom Needed. All this is not, however, to any that as a question of abstract justice Japan is

That demand itself, na the more uncom promising Navy men say, is a In the final waiving of justice. analysis, it is not just that this country is so poor and is so inter- nationally situated that she has to make a futile fight for 70 per cent. But this sort of argument will carry us nowhere. We are draing with a practical problem, and the ques tion calls for practical wisdom,
