JAPS BUILDING
GREATER NAVY
BRAZIL Is ACTING AS A SCREEN
ORDERING SHIPS FROM
ENGLAND.
UNITED STATES WARNED
BY French Authorities to Surpass
Japan in Building Up Navy
Thirty Big Ships to Be De-
liVered Next Year

Paris, June 2S.- Gossip in official
circles is that the United States
should initiate and surpass Japan in
building a big navy.
Notwithstanding Official denlals,
there is little reason to doubt that
Brazil is being used as a screen be-
hind which Japan is carrying out a
gigantic scheme of naval extension.
Thirty warships of the Dreadnaught
class and armored cruisers ordered by
Brazil from British builders are re,
ported to be intended for Japan, and
it is stipulated that they shall be de-
liyered by the end OF next year.
Japan is known to be taking sters
to increase her navy TO a great ex-
tent.
Il is inconceiyable it Is said that
Brazil should have so suddenly dis
covered pressing need for a big navy.
but Japan's foreign policy, and par
ticularly her relations with the UniteI
States render a huge navy inlis-
Eclsable
With characteristic prom titude
and energy Japan is creating navy
that the United States should dupli-
cate, said an authority today. The
common sense course IS to build a
similar feet for protection eff the
Atlantic seaboard 1t should BE- built
at once, In the meantime the British
government might reasonably be eX-
pected to prevent English shipyards
being turned into an annex to the Jap
anese war department.
If British friendship for America
is anything more than an empty word
the British government should prove
it by refusing to be a party to further
warlike designs of Japan against the
United States.
