JAPAN EXPECTS NAVAL RACE

READY TO BUILD

HUGE SHIPS

WILL NOT INITIATE COMPETITION

SIMILAR OPINION HELD IN BRITAIN

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

(By, Telegraph. Copyright Telegraphic Messages Ordinaneo," Recalved, January, 19, 2.10 p.m.)

Tokyo, Jan. 17.

Newspapers, in editorials, to-day accept the failure of the Naval Conference without bitterness,, although they express the opinion that the spirit of disarmament was absent from the London parley?

Jiji Shimbun says it believes that possibly both Greal Britain and the United States will engage in building "big ships and big guns and aircraft carriers." It adds that at the time of the Washington Conference the Japanese shipyards were equipped to construct battleships of 60,000 tons and they are still equipped, and could build such monster fighting craft should the occasion arise.

All papers agree that Japan will not initiate a building race, but some, notably the well-informed Tokyo Nichi Nichi, believe some sort of construction rivalry is inevitable. The Night Nichi asserts that the powers' delegates at London showed that each nation thinks only about its own affairs.

The Yomiuri Shinibun quotes Vice-Admiral Sankichi Takahashi as saying that Japanese naval, tactics have dc- veloped to a point where the navy could successfully compete with the combined ravies of the United States and Great Britain.

Meanwhile, special financial writers point out that in the event of a building race it follows that Japan would be far better off thao, before the Washington Conference They the industry has expanded and the nation's general wealth has in- ercased, while the United States has .suffered from a serious depression, which tends to equalise their building ability-United Press.

FRANCE WARNS

GERMANY

MUST NOT RE-ARM RHINELAND

OR FRANCE WILL TAKE MILITARY MEASURES

Paris, Jan. 16.

A strong warning to Germany to keep her hands off the 'demilitarised zone in the Rhineland, was given by the French Ambassador at Berlin to Herr von Buelow, the German Secre tary of State, in the course of conversations at the Wil- helmstrasse last Monday, it is learned here to-night.,

The French Ambassador declared that if Germany at- tempted to militarise this zone France would be obliged to take military measures of the utmost importance.

He also assured von Buelow that the Franco-British military agreement only concerned the Mediterranean Zone, and that there was no question of any Franco-British military agreement contrary to the Treaty of Locarno, -

In reply to the Ambassador's protest, von Bueloiy promised that. the recent. German press campaign against demilitarisa- tion of the Rhineland zone should cease, though the promise has hitherto borne no fruit.
