JAPAN AND THE AMERICAN NAVY.

THE 70 PER CENT. CLAIM.

JAPANESE ADMIRAL EXPLAINS THE SITUATION.

The following statement regarding Japan's demand for 70 per cent. of the strength of the United States Navy in auxiliary craft was written for the United Press by Admiral Kanji Kato, "Chief of the General Stax of the Imperial Japanese Navy, in response to a request for his views on the discussions now' taking place in London. Admiral Kato is a Grand Chamberlain of the Empire and a member of the Privy Council. He was Chief Naval Advisor to the Japanese delegation at the Washington Naval Conference in 1891-22,

equality is needed in attack. It is plain that by conceding us an additional five per cent, the United States would lose nothing except inmere figures. If she could be said to sacrifice dhything whatever it would be merely five per cent.

I believe that Japan is entirely justified in her demand at the Five Power Naval Conference in London for 70 per cent. of the strength of

For example: Secretary of State Stimson, the head of the American delegation in London, has submitted a proposal which allow Japan about 60 per cent of the actual cruiser strength of the United States. Japan demands 10 per cent. Under the principle of mutual sacrifices" let us suppose Secretary Stimson concedes us a additional five per cent. Suppose

We want the American people to understand first and foremost that the 10-10-7 ratio of naval strength which we desire cannot possibly menace this safety of their country. We arrived at this figure as our minimum deed for defence. All our calculations are based on purely defensive stratégy. In other words we must have naval strength auffi- cient to repel the strongest Beet in the world if it should arrive with hostile intent on this side of the Pacific.
