Japan had already declined join in the International system for exchanging naval information established by the London Treaty of 1936. Since then every possible loophole official as well as un- official, it is understood has been sealed.

It is doubtful whether anybody outside the Ministry of Marine in Tokio knows what is going on in the Japanese dockyard, or what the approximate strength of the Japanese Navy will be two or three years hence...

PROVISIONS OF TREATY

This singular situation may have serions political reactions: By last year's treaty the British Empire, the United States, and France agreed to accept qualitative res- trictions on their future warships, and these Units have since been accepted in principle by Italy, Ger- many, and Russia.

Battleships are restricted to 35,- 000 tons, and their guns were not

to exceed 14in calibre, though this has now been raised to 16in follow- ing Japan's refusal to conform. Cruisers were limited to 8,000 tons and 0.1in guns, aircraft carriers to 23,000 tons. destroyers to 1,850 tona, and submarines to 2,000 tons.

It is obvious, however, that these limits can be adhered to only if they are accepted by all the lead- ing navies. Japan, by rejecting them in toto, may have signed the death-warrant of naval Imitation, and, incidentally, torpedoed the 1936 treaty.

There are persistent reports from Washington and Berlin that Japan is laying down capital ships con- siderably larger than 35,000 tons, as well as cruisers of 9,000 to 10,000 tons. If this is confirmed the escape clauses of the treaty will probably be invoked. at once by the United States, which" is deter- mined to maintain its relative strength in the Pacific,

Japanese naval experts are quoted as saying that America cannot compete with their super- battleships., because' no. Tessel above, 35,000 tons could use the Panama Canal. That is a fallacy.
