JAPSPR0b[EN|
Nippon Will Maintain
Settled Principle on
National Defense.

Toxic. Sept. 24.-(By the Associ-
| ated Press. Japan will consult with
other members Of the League OF
Nations relative to the desire Of the
United States to receive equal treat
ment in mandate islands of the Pa
cific as feature of the settlement of
the zap question, it is said by news
papers here. Japan will also study the
zap, as foreigners do not have the
right to land ownership in japanese
territory.
Heavy Expense.
It is estimated that this country's
expenses at the Washington conference
on disarmament and far eastern ques-
tons will be $2O0O.OOO. Government
leaders believe the conference will last
two months.
Definite decision has been made that
chief members Of the Japanese delega-
ton will sail for the United States on
the Kashima Maru, on October Is.
Another Meeting of japanese field
marshals and the supreme war coun-
cillors has been held and the Yomi-
Uri Shimbu declares their attitude on
the limitation of ornaments is as fol-
lows:
Japan will maintain her already
settled principle Of national defense
and no change or alteration will be
made until the time arrives when inter
national disputes and trouble can be
settled without relying upon, or resort
ing to, armed force. This is because
of Japan's particular national status,
and the situation which exists in sur
rounding states
Has Her Demands.
This would indicate change from
the previously announced decision of
Japan, which supported. in principle,
the maintenance of p army divisions.
1t would seem she would be disposed
to follow other nations in actual re-
auctions.
Leading newspapers declare that it is
the intention of army and navy authori-
ties to propose definitely the reduc-
ton of Notifications in the Hawaiian
islands, the Philippines and Guam in
exchange for the dismantling of .Japa-
nese Notifications Of Formosa and the |
Pescadores islands and at Port Arthur
