YUKIO OZAKPS PLAN
MEETS WITH FAVOR

Toxic, Feb. 25.-(orrespondence of
the Associated Press) Large audi
ences greet YHkio Ozaki everywhere
as the celebrated parliamentarian
tours the country to awaken public
support for his project of an interna-
tional agreement in naval and mill
tary curtailment.
The Osaka Mainichi notes that the
big crowds at the Ozaki meetings in
Kobe, Asake and Kyote show how
earnest the public is to learn some
thing about the big question at issue.
Fees are charged for admission to the
lectures and the Mainichi thinks that
the large attendance despite the en-
trance charge is an important sign
of the time and indicates which way
the wind is blowing"
The mony raised is to be devoted to
educational objects among students.

effective his idea for armament re-
striction. The answer he gave was
that America. England and Japan
should enter into plan for the re-
duction of ornaments and he hoped
that America would make the first
proposal within the next few months.
In the event that the United States
fails to make this proposal. then Mr..
Ozaki believed that japan should take
the initiative.
"When the agreement is made" he
added, sit will be kept. Besides, ac-
cording to the eighth article of the
league of nations covenant, all nations
have promised a reduction of arma-
ments and this must be carried out
through the league"
"What reason did the members of
the house of representative give for
turning down your proposal for re-
duction of armaments? ?" he was ask

The interviewer mentioned that II
appeared that a large proportion oi
the taxes were expended for militar,
purposes.
"Would you like me to give you the
