if the programs of the respective
countries are carried out, the United
States will lead Japan by sixteen in
major warships. She will have 23l
more destroyers and "a more sub
marines, but on the other hand the
American light cruisers will fall be-
hind Japan's to the number of three.
By the end of 1927 Japan will have
two fewer big ships, three more light
cruisers and AZ fewer destroyers.
Japan is, however, devoting herself to
submarines and it is expected that
by 1927 she will beat the United
States in submarines to the number
Of 32
If the United States does not start
new program after 1928 (either re-
placing old ships transferred to the
second line" or augmenting her

expenditures and continuous building
at her maximum capacity will in
1927 only be in practically the same
relative position as she is today, 1921.
If, on the other hand, the United
States after 1923 adopts a new build
ing program of only replacing the
ships going into the second line,'

hat Japan in 1927, will occupy the
same relatively weak position that
she will have in 1923.
Those favoring Japan's entering an
restriction agreement ex-
'ress the opinion that Japan's plans

United States policy after 1923. And

officials, will be completed whatever
may be arranged with foreign powers
as to future curtailment means more
than the creation Of the so-called
eight and eight units. The phrase
"eight and eight signifies, according
to the official view here, that Japan

class battleships and eight first class
battle cruisers but it also signifies an
other eight namely that when one
OF the above sixteen units reaches the
age of eight years, that unit passes to
the second line. to be replaced i'm
mediately by a new ship of the latest
design.
1t is pointed out therefore that
Japan's future navy, as at present
outlined, will have sixteen first class
fighting ships of the latest construc-
tion as we'll as numerous ships of the
second line to which the warships
now building will fall when a period
of eight years makes substitution
necessary. Hence, adherence to the
"eight and eight" plan means con-
slant building and constant big eX-
penditure. 1t is this continuing out
lay to which ex-minister Yukio
Ozaki takes objection in his campaign
for an international agreement for
naval restriction on the ground that
the budget involved will prove dis
astrous for his country.
