THE GROUNDS

Upon what grounds is the Japaneso demand for parity based? In an article in Foreign Affaire, Admiral Pratt asks the question. He finds it in the demand so fami- llar nowadays in other countries as well as Japan for equality and security. The Admiral, however, has no difficulty in showing that on technical grounds the Japanese claim for higher than the present 63 per cent, strength is not justifi- able. This is easily shown by comparison of the situation con- fronting the navies of the leading sea powers. Japan has a secure Peninsula line to the mainland, which is not GOULD-Died nt. the
