DUBLIN, Feb. 5.--A high officer OF

He smiled at a reference called *

America is destined to assume lead

gineering at Columbia University, who

the country is entering upon program

which it is at present most highly
developed.
In his report Dr.. Lucke reviews The

conjectures, as the text of the pre-

Both the Hochi Shimbun and the
Kokumin Shimbun lay emphasis upon
the apparent fact that the gentleman's
agreement between the United States
and Japan has been made more stringent
as return for the according of greater
rights to Japanese in America. These
newspapers seem to think the new
agreement will function even if the ma
ttons fail to negotiate a treaty. The
Chu-o Shimbun, the government organ.
says, however, it Is authorized to an
nounce that this impression is without
foundation. and that the revised agree
ment would be valid only In case a
treaty should be ratified.

present indications are that motor

European countries, Dr.. Lucke de-
clares, long have been building large
Diesel engines and auxiliary equipment

ica, on the contrary, has devoted her
efforts toward expansion Of the ner-
chant marine to the construction OF
steamships. This WIS due In part TO

British Treaty

Evades Direct Answer to
Question i'm Diet Whether
England w ould Help
Japan Against America
Agreed ON Arbitration
Peace Commission Pact Is
Held to Answer Purpose
as Required by Alliance

TOXIC, Feb. (By The Associated
ress).-Questloned in the Diet yester-
day whether the Anglo-Jgpanese Ali
ence required Great Britain TO assist
Japan in tho event Of war between
Japan and the United States, Viscount
Uchlda, the Foreign Minister, replied
that the United States never had been
considered as o country to which the
terms Of the alliance applied, and that
Japan and Great Britain had agreed to
regard the peace commission agree
ment Of 1914 as equivalent TO the gen.
eral arbitration referred to In Article
~ of the alliance of 1911.
Representative Uyehars asked wheth-
er Japan had ever been notified that the
interpre tation of Article w would be
altered as result of the conclusion of
q general arbitration treaty with the
United Statea.
yiscount Uchtda replied in the mega
tive, but said that opinions were ex-
changed while the arbitration treaty
was being negotiated, and he regretted
that considerations of diplomatic se-
crecy prevented publication Of the Brit
ish view.
Then Uyehara asked If Great Britain
considered herself exempt from the OBJ
legation of assisting Japan In the event
of japanese American war.
The Foreign Minister, in reply. said
that although a general arbitration
Streaty had not been concluded, the
peace commission agreement OF 1914
was regarded as an equivalent.
$50 far as I know, he added, "the
United States was never considered
when the alliance was concluded and
Article ~ was never meant to apply
to Great Britain. In my opinion the re
was an understanding between Japan
and Great Britain that Article ~ did
not apply TO the United States"
Asked what policy would be adopted
when the alliance was again revised,
Viscount Uchida declared that due re-
gard would be paid to the notifications
given to the League Of Nations last
July by England and Japan.
