Japan Places Smoke-Screen Over Activity

Japan, which is not a signatory of the London Naval Treaty of 1936, does not agree with the principle enunci- ated in Part III of the Treaty whereby, to prevent com- petitive building, the Naval Powers were required to ex- change advance information of their naval programmes, particularly in regard to the numbers, tonnage, arma- ment, and speed of future ships.

ADMIRALTY DECISION Anticipating general agreement to the 35,000-ton 14-inch gun limits suK- gested in the London Naval Treaty, the Admiralty decided that the Ave new British battleships now under construction, the King George V., Prince of Wales, Anson, Jellicoe, and Brotty, are to mount 14-Inch guns.
