DECISION CAUSES
TREATIES TO TREMBLE
London, Sept. 9. British and American naval experts and diplomats are conferring to determine the respective policies of their countries in view of Japan's decision to expand her submarine ton nage beyond the limits of the London Treaty.
The British Embassy in Washington last week handed the United States Government a copy of Japan's note to His Majesty's Govern- ment, informing Britain that London's proposal to retain over-age destroyer tonnage in service would cause Japan to increase her submarine strength by keeping over-age ships in commission. British Ambassador asked for the American reaction.
The interchange was carried a step further on Monday, when Mr. Hershell Johnson, Secretary of the United States Embassy in London, discussed the situation with Mr. Adrian Holmes, British naval expert.
It is understood here that the United States adopted the attitude that Japan's proposals, if carried out, would be tantamount to invoking the "escalator clause" of the London Treaty and hence the United States was entitled to a similar move. This statement possibly signifies that the United States has decided to increase its submarine tonnage.-United Press.

UNEXPECTED DECISION
(Special To "Telegraph")
Shanghai, Sept. 10. There will be no tennis Inter- port between Hongkong and Shanghai this year.
This decision the Shanghai Lawn Tennis Association re-¿ grettably renched yesterday, an- nounces an exclusive message from United Presa.
In stating that Shanghai would not send a team to Hongkong this year, the LTA. said it is because "representative sides could not be raised." United Press,
This decision is entirely unexpect- ed, writes "Veritus", because Shang-
