SEES NEW ERA DAWN
Ozdki Discusses Limiting Ma

BIZ the Associated Press.


KARUIzAwA. Japan, July 1S.--"As
there are many persons In America who
criticise Japan as being wrong. whatever
she may do, so also are there many per-
sons in japan who think the United
States is unreasonably inclined to thwart
or obstruct our development in every
way" said Yukio Ozaki. the Liberal
leader, who has fought for disarmament.
In talking to-day on the political situa-
ton created by President Harding's call
for a conference on disarmament and
the Pacific situation Mr.. Ozaki dis
cussed the situation with apparently the
same realization Of some of his fellow
statesmen that the forthcoming congress
means all to Japan.
This belief concerning America
among the Japanese refer to-" he said,
sis the chief reason why the comments
of our newspapers on a Pacific confer
ence are somewhat lukewarm, although
most of them welcome naval limitations
most enthusiastically. am convinced
the conference will be able to clear UP
these mutual MISUNDERSTANDING to the
greatest good to the Powers concerned.
/ earnestly believe the American invi-
tation may become the chief cause of the
birth Of a new era for modern Japan"
Mr.. Ozaki said there were many diff
ferences of opinion as to the scope of
the conference, but that II 1t could limit
naval competition the whole world would
be benefited and an amicable settlement
of all other questions necessarily would
follow. Mr.. Ozak possibly will be a
delegate to the Washington conference.

The main point of the article was
that words the Premier had uttered in

london. July Is.
According to an important Japanese
source in London, naval disarmament,
whether proposed by the United States
or any other Power. which tended to
interfere with the execution of Japan's
double eight building programme
adopted last year. would certainly be
resisted to the utmost by a large and
probably overwhelming majority In
Japan.
Whether or not 1t Is a coincidence, It
Is a fact that since the f1rst rumors OF
the calling of a disarmament confer
ence by President Harding Japan has
displayed remarkable activity in getting
that double eight programme actually
under contract Building facilities were
not available for the entire programme,
but now nearly all the ships are con-
tracted for or will be before the CON-
ference convenes, even though the ship
ways for the entire fleet are not avail
able.
1t is urged in defence Of the haste to
complete this programme that 1t con-
stitutes the absolute minimum Of naval
preparedness required for the safety OF
the island empire. Four Of the battle
ships on the programme already have
been completed or are building; the
fifth and sixth. named Dwarf and Xii.
were contracted for in May. The seventh
and eighth are now reported under con-
tract, although some time may elapse
before the berths are available for their
construction.
OF the eight battle cruisers the Amagi
and Akagi were begun in December, the
Atago and Takao are to be laid down in
March next and the remaining four as
soon as the shipways are vacant. More
than half of the small auxiliary craft
provided In this programme already are
being constructed. and contracts for the
balance have been promised the various
shipyards.
