Japan has rejected every important proposal Britain has made In 1935 Britain sent its highest economic adviser to in recent years. Japan to propose Anglo-Japanese co-operation for the economic recovery of China. There were no political conditions.

The offer was rejected, but nevertheless the plan succeeded and Japan, with others, "reaped the benefit in a large increase of her exports to China in the first half of 1937,

In 1937 Britain invited Japan to join the other naval Powers in an agreement not to mount guns larger than 14 inches on capital ships. Again Japan's answer was "no." That refusal was the start-" ing point of later developments which are going to lay heavy burdens on the tax-payers of Japan, Britain and everybody else.

The immediate "result was the substitution of 16 inch guns for the 14-inch maximum that all nations except Japan had adopted. Bigger guns reed bigger ships.

Japan alleges that Britain, the United States, and France want bigger ships, and their recent enquiry was a trick designed to lay on Japan the guilt of a new naval race-what a mind'

The figures for 1937 show that Japan's exports to the British Empire amounted to 882 million Yen, to the United States 639 million. to Germany 47 million, and to Italy 43 million.

This means that the British Empire bought from Japan last year nearly ten times the amount purchased by Japan's Anti-Comintern friends.
