light on the armament competition
which the forthcoming Washington
conference Is designed to halt.

Taken as a whole says Col

in the lead. Upon the completion of
the programs now under way the
United States, with substantially
the same tonnage will have a slight
superiority due to the larger num-

sGbStantially increased. Any closer
COMPARISON involves such COM

better basis japan - willing to
reduce its troops proportionately or
to withdraw from Asia.
j. Japan desires an agreement for
the abolition Of offensive armament
In the Pacific and prohibiting also
future armament such as the de-
fenses contemplated for several Of
the islands.
