Tokyo, Nov. 19. The newspapers report that the Japanese Foreign Minister; 'Mr. Hirota, has an important talk this morning with the Premier, Admiral -Okada, regarding the date for not

JAPAN'S VIEWS AWAITED

London, Nov. 17.

Sir John Simon will hear to- night Japan's views on the British enquiries whether she would be satisfied with acknowledgment of her claim to equal naval status together with continuance of re- gulation of the size of navles.

Japanese opinion has also been asked as to whether the naval strengths could be maintained by the Powers declaring naval bulid- Ing programmes for five years to ten years ahead..

The British are striving hard to reach an agreement, but if this is not realisable an Anglo-Ameri- can agreement might be consider- ed to which Japan will be able

to subscribe later.

The British feel that there are still a number of valuable clauses in the Washington Treaty which should be salvaged, for example one whereby the Powers notify one another of vessels they are laying down and also a non-fortification clause (Article Nineteen). ever, there has been no discussion yet on this matter.

It is stated on good authority that the Japanese answer to the British suggestions for a compro- miise which will be communicated to Sir John Simon on Monday will constitute a definite rejection of the British scheme, the Japanese Insisting unequivocally on being granted naval equality not only in theory but In practice as well Since the United States are equally Reuter,
