Tokyo, Aug. b.

· What appears to be confirmation of Japan's intention of ürging a 10-10-7 ratio with Great Britain and the United States in respect of auxiliary war vessels, was con- tained in a speech delivered by the Minister for the Navy to-day, at a conference of the Prefectural

Governors.

Referring to the question of naval limitation, brought into the forefront by the recent converas- Lions between Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald and General Dawes, the not U.S. Ambasandor in London, Admiral Takarabe is quoted as observers afirma saying that although

thal Japan's insistence on a different ratio for auxillary vessels is based on a weak foundation, they are wrong. He declayed that the demand has a

The jute strike originated in a demand by the weavers for extra pay for the extra hours on Satur-firm basis. days, following the introduction of a sixty-hour week,

The mill-owners announced that they proposed to pay the weavers at the old rates, with a bonus from July 23rd, but they complained that the weavers had been in- timidated.

Consequently, Japan will insist upon this new ratio and endeavour to obtain the acquiescence of the powers at the future disarmament conference.

While emphasising the necessity for this ratio, Admiral Takarabe asserted that Japanese naval ex- perts are in favour of further disarmanent for the sake of world peace.

Though the Minister. for the Navy apparently failed to specify what new ratio will be demanded, it is presumed that he referred to 10-1-7, as this has been fre- quently mentioned in the past.- Reuter,

WARNING THAT TORY PARTY MAY DIE.

"If the party does not grapple to itself the young men, it must inevitably die of apathy," sai Mr. Baldwin at a meeting in London of the Central Council of the Natioanl Union of Conserva- tive and Unionist Associations,

"The strain of modern politics: is great," he added, "and it is essential, not only to help us, but for the party and for the future, that we should have a large re- cruitment coming into our ranks of really young men-because the future in with them.

"I hold the position I hold en- tirely by your good will and your consent; and the moment there is anyone else that you wish to take my place, I will surrender that place and go right out of politics." It was decided to recommend to the chairman of the party (Mr. J. C. C. Davidson) that he should address a questionnaire to each of the constituency associations to ascertain their opinions us to the causes of the defeat at the elec tion.
