So far discussion has been largely
confined to capital. ships. battleships
n battle cruisers. regarded in all
navies as purely offensive weapons.
The Japanese experts brought up in
discussion among the experts, how
ever. the question Of additional air.
plane carriers for Japan. 1t has been
indicated in Japanese circles that Jap
an desires equal tonnage with Great
Britain and the United States In car
riers.
1t is asserted by. American officers
that airplnnes themselves might be
classed rs defensive weapons as long
them to distant waters. But when
airplane carriers are provided. the air
craft becomes potential weapons Of Of
Tense for bombardment Of enemy cities
and Notifications.
Another aspect Of the airplane a
rier problem lies in the American pol
icy providing for division of her fleet
for operations in two far separated
seas. the Atlantic and Pacific. even II
American obligations as to the Philip
pines are disregarded in the calcula-
tons. That makes necessary, Ameri-
can officers argue. airplane carriers
for use with each fleet. Great Britain.
it is asserted has even wider respon-
abilities in all the seven seas. Brit
aims national life depends m keep
ing tho cas- open to her trade ships
and her equipment in aircraft and
carriers must be equal to that of any
other power.
Japan. In the American view is not
similarly situated. Her navy operates
practically for defensive purposes. as
a single unit. The Sea of Japan.
which lies between Japan and Korea
is susceptible of such defense that It
would be almost impossible Of access
by an enemy fleet in wartime.
For these reasons It is regarded
as certain that the American confer
ence delegation will not be disposed
to accept tho Japanese proposal OF
equal tonnage In airplane carriers for
Japan.
