JAPAN SEEKS COMPLETE HEGEMONY IN PACIFIC
EQUALITY PLEA VEILS AMBITION
WILL BRITAIN AND U.S. SURRENDER?
"PACIFICATION" OF CHINA PLANNED
(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

Washington, Oct. 24..
It is learned on the best authority that American officials consider the Japanese naval equality proposals no more than a veiled programme for exclusive Japanese hegemony in the Asiatic Pacific, leaving the United States and Britain out of the picture altogether.
The sole question for Britain and America to de- cide at the forthcoming naval conference is whether they will withdraw entirely from the Far East, abandoning the principle of an "upen door" to China, it is claimed.
Washington opinion seems to be that the existing naval ratios make it impossible for Britain and America to successfully re- aist any pressure Japan may exert in the Far East. It is feli, however, that the combined Anglo-American strength would be sufficient to maintain at least partial influence in Asin.
COMMON POLICY
It is indicated that the United Stutes will be supported by Britain if she refuses to relinquish her historic positions In the Far East. Nevertheless, some raval nattbori. ties and substantial sections of the publle, advocate complete with-
drawal.
It is Torther jaillented That the Japanese contention that equality of naval armaments would benefit the cause of world peace is based partly on the expretation of speur- ing Far Eastern hegemony in or der "to pacify" Chire.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS TO BANKERS
PARTNERSHIP FOR PROSPERITY
Washington, Oct. 24.
President Roosevelt, laying down a definite chal- lenge to the Bankers of the Nation here-to-night, called upon them to have confidence in the American People and to "resume their responsibility" to the Public..
The President said: "To-night, I ask the Bankers of this Country to renew their confidence in the People of the Country and I hope that you will take me at my word."
Contrary to general expectations, he gave no inkling as to the future plans of the Administration, monetary or otherwise.
He asserted that he had found "an agreement" be tween the Bankers that the Government's Emergency Credit Agencies should continue to lend until the Banks were "able and ready take over these lending functions." Many of his listeners regarded financing of industrial the following words in the nature The
