OKADA'S SPEECH IN DIET
(Special to "Telegraph")
{Dy Telegraph. Copyright, Telapraskie Kam angan Ordinanes.. 1413. "Recciónd, Aupust 1. Wit, a.m.)
Washington, July 31.
Admiral Okada's speech ́on naval policy in the Diet yesterday has created a good impression in official quarters in Washington, although no great enthusiasm is manifest in naval circles.
The tone of the new Japanese Premier's speech, is commended, but his suggestion that the highly armed Pawers should reduce their naval strength has developed | little support.
The most encouraging feature of the statemont is seen in the circumstance that Admiral Okada, whose naval sympathies might be expected to be strong, should even mention It reduction, because until now, Japan's talk has been mostly of increased strength.
