JAPAN'S PURPOSE
TOPOSTPONEFAR
EAST DISCUSSION
Kato's Offer to Reduce
Navy Challenges the
Hughes Program.
By Prank n. srMoNDs.'

At the very outset of the wash :
ington conference. the Japanese
have thrown down a challenge TO
Mr.. Hughes and to the American
policy which. however characterized
by the spirit of concession, never
theless carries with II consequences
which cannot be mistaken.
In substance and through the re.
cent Interview of Baron Kato, the
Japanese have undertaken to coun-
ter Mr.. Hughes manifest effort TO
dispose Of the Far Eastern ques-
tion before dealing finally with the
problem Of the Limitation Of arma-
'mentk.
In substance, Baron Rato has pro-
posed reductions In the Japanese
naval program which exceed any
real expectations here. Unmistak-
ably. his purpose is to appeal to the
very wide. popular conception in
this country that the conference Is
designed to reduce armarnents and
thus to prevent war.
Aims to Postpone Problems.
But in realityNno one can mistake
the fact that what the Japanese
are after 10 to postpone, IL not pre-
vent, discussion OF the Far Eastern
question until public interest be-
gins to wane and popular concern
to diminish The japanese have-of-
fered Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hughes a
very substantial program of success
for their conference. On the basis
OF what Baron Kato suggests an
agreement might be reached be.
tween Great Britain. Japan and the
United States which would enable
the American and other statesmen
to 60 back to their respective coun-
tries pointing to considerable
achievement in fields where achieve
ment was popularity looked for.
The maneuver Is clever. 1t Il
well timed. 1t is unmistakably vel
calculated to catch public interes
T-and enlist popular approval.
It was expected tna< Japsn woulC
open the conference with a counter
| offensive, since II was obviousl,

The Washington herald., 1921-11-11

was expected that this offensive
would be directed at American naval
programs and American military
construction in the Pacific. There
was q belief that the Japanese
would attack our proposals TO for
tify Guam and bring into question
our naval plans on recent years.
The present Japanese operation 10
far more skiifuL On the surface
1t is the disclosure OF q spirit OF
moderation and Of concession which
must seem at once attractive and
But II strikes right at
the root OF precisely that purpose
which has become the dominant fac
tor IN the minds OF American
statesmanship, namely. the solution
OF the Far Eastern problem II is
one of the e7most daring and skilfuI
diplomatic thrusts in the history of
recentInternational relations.
wtIr he Criticised I'm Tokyo.
Nor is, IL alone the American re-
action to this gesture which must
be considered. The japanese public
VIII read that Baron Kato in his
statement has proposed program
OF the limitation Of naval construc-
ton, which goes beyond the limit
of expectation in his own country.
He will be very severely criticized
In many quarters for such a pro-
posaI. But IL in addition TO this
proposal the representatives Of the
United States in the Washington
kconference insist on further conces-
sion, persist in raising the Chinese
and Siberian questions. nothing is
more likely than that the reaction
at home may consolidate all ele-
ments within the Japanese Empire.
In a word the first Japanese
move in this great game of chess
which is the Washington confer
ence at one time envlsages under
mining the diplomatic adversary
abroad and fortifying the japanese
position at home.
Puts Hughes on Defensive.
For those 10 whom parallel is
important, the analogy between the
situation Mr.. Wilson found himself
in in the opening days of the Paris
conference and that in which the
Japanese have put Mr.. Hughes is
striking. In Paris every kind of
pressure was put upon ME- Wilson
to postpone discussion Of the league
of nations proposal until the terms
IF peace were written. Now the
Japanese design is manifestly To
prevail upon Mr.. Hughes to post
pone the Far Eastern discussion
until the question of the Limitation
of armaments is disposed of. Mr.
Wilson resisted the European ma
neuver. which. to be sure. found
American support. Mr.. Hughes
now at the outset OF the conference
Is called upon to defend his pro-
gram in a similar fashion. The
japanese have carried the war into
Africa" 1t now remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Hughes can restore the
NSiatIc front
