late Thursday. But the experts OF
the mission are all set for their
work and prepared for any eyentu-
ality.
Tho big feature of yesterday, SO
far as the Japanese were concerned
was the public utterance of Admiral
kato. His statement was brought
forth by the publication In q New
York paper that Japan was the only
nation that was opposed to the re-
duction of naval programs already
initiated.
Ready TO Cut Navy Program.
In this connection the admiral
said:
The contrary Is definitely the
case. The, repetition of the state
ment Is unwarfInted in view Of the
fact that when the Washington con-
ference was first proposed, and at
other times subsequently, ofticialsSof
the japanese government. including
myself, have stated that Japan
would not insist upon carrying out
her present 'eight-eight program,
but is ready to cut II down in agree
ment with the powers concerned.
provided the safety of Japan Is
assured" -
In discussing the general situa-
tion for the benefit of the news
paper correspondents the admiral
explained that Japan must rely on
a navy for her protection. Being
an island empire. he said, her
coasts were always open to attack
by a hostile force. Because Of this
she has been constructing a navy
that would prove a most effective
weapon of defense However, he
insisted, that there, never had been
intention of entering into a racs
with Great Britain or the United
states to see who could construct
the most powerful navy. Aad he
insisted that the entire japanese
delegation was ready and willing
TO meet the wishes of the other
powers.
Asks Only Protection.
$50 long as we are assured that
we can be protected from outward
aggression we will be willing to
agree to any program that will lift
the burden of war preparation
from our people" he continued.
I'VE do not want to spend any
CIV
anxious to develop our industrial
enterprises Therefore we came
here with open minds ready and
willing to work hard to reach an
agreement that will satisfy all ma
tions. We will make any conces-
sions necessary to assure success.
On that you may depend"
The meeting between Premier
BRAND and President Harding was
more like a greeting between two
old friends than a formal visi: Of
the prime minister of a friendly
nation to a Chief Executive. The
premier drove from the Willard Ho-
tel. escorted by a squadron of cav
airy. in a bigh-powered automobile.
On the front seat sat a member Of
the French secret service and be-
hind came an automobile contain
ing American aud French officials.
Premier BRAND personally assured
President Hariing. and the Secre-
taries of War and the Navy, on
whom he chilled. that France was
in favor OF any,
thing that would reduce the dan
ger of war. All that France de-
sires is protection from aggression.
he said, and with that assured she
will reduce not only her navy but
her army TO the minimum.

Cooperation OF Japan.
A principal task Of the delegates
to the conference is thus seen to
be the creation of a basis for help
full cooperation with Japan. not only
in the weIl-considered interests of
Japan herself. but in those of the
whole civilized world.
Though a conflict wherein Japan
were ranged against the English
speaking nations and other Pacific
powers might concsIVabfy ImperfI the
very existence of modern Japan. II
would be unspeakably disastrous to
all concerned II indeed it did not un-
dermine the whole existing social and
economic order. 1t Is as Sir Robert
Borden impressively said in an ad-
dress to the Lawyers Club at New
York last week. THE foundations
OF our civilization are rocking"
PrecIusiOn of War. ...
A determination to preclude the
possibility of war is therefore strong
among the great majority of dele
gates to the conference. They are
assembling in a very earnest mood.
This mood should not be confined
to the delegates
They will need the constant sup
port of an informed public opinion
in their respective countries: and in
order that public opinion may be
adequately informed. the largest
measure of publicity for the proceed
ings, compatible with efficiency of
the conference. Is clearly indispensa-
BILE.
But at the very outset Il Is i'm
portant that the public everywhere
should be free from illusions as to
the conditions under which the lin
itation OF ornaments can alone be
achieved. 1t should be definitely un-
derstood that no reduction of arrna-
ments or military and naval expe nd
itures would be feasible without a
solution of the grave. political prob
lens which lie in the fore ground
and that no past or present commit
ments and obligations or desires for
theoretical consistency can be allowed
to stand between the civilized world
and avoidance of fresh conflict that
might render civilization itself mere
ly memory and name

Moore did most of the fighting in the

Buff in the sixth, but the honors were
fairly even.
Moore had Buff bleeding at the mouth
in the seventh, and landed twice to the
champions once, and outfought the
champion in the eighth, lanling half O
dozen punches in succession WITHOUT q

Buff fought back furiously in the
ninth, but Moore continued to pile uy

Moore danced out Of danger and con-
tinued to pile in, punching as he
pleased.
