He explained that the eight and
eight program will be completed in
1928. It was. of course, a continu-
ing program. he added. It had been
begun .years e and from yeaf to
year appropriations had been made in
the Japanese diet to carry the work
forward.
Somebody asked:
What is the proper basis Of arma-
nent limitation? ?"
n have no doubt a proposition will
be made by the American delegates
to the conference" the admiral re-
piled. Therefore. / think it is not
my place to state at this time our
ideas on the subject. I prefer to wait
on the American proposition,
The question: "Have you prepar-
cd n counter-pcoposal to the ex-
pcctcd American propositon?" the adj
miral responded:
Il have no program to offer, but in
accordance with the DEVELOPMENTS
from the American proposal we may
have some suggestions to offer. 1t all
depends upon the nature and charac-
ter Of the American proposal"
Does Japan think tina she requires
as strong a navy as Great Britain ana
Inc United States?" he was asked.
Never Thought Of Equality.
Japan has never expected he re-
piled. nor has she ever entertained
the idea that she should possess q
navy equal to that Of Great Britain
or the United States-she has never
housh even of calling the navies
OF those countries, let alone exceeding
them
The eight-and-eight Japanese naval
program referred to by Admiral Kato
really an eight-eight-eight pro-
ram because it signifies that each
one Of the eight dreadnaughts and
eight modern battle cruisers making
up the program is to be replaced at
the end of eight years service. This
means that Japan must build two SUI
per-Warships every a each at a
cost of about $50, 900. 900 and that
simultaneously h must make further
tremendous OUTLAWS in replacing the
auxiliary ships and aircraft necessary
to round u her main fleet. II, is this
outlay which, in the opinion Of re-
sponsfble Japanese. Japan is in no
position to stand.
+ Balfour, Optimistic.
Quebec, Nov. 8.-Belief that the
Washington arms conference could do
much to produce a better world was
expressed by Arthur Balfour, former
British premier, when he arrived here
today as acting head of the British
delegation.
II do not believe this armament con-
ference at Washington can do every
thing" MI. Balfour said. IT am per-
sonally confident it can do much. I
am confident that of the steps that

the powers provided tina safety Of
Japan is assured, Ahn:;ra! Baron To-
mosaburo kato, minister Of marine
and ranking head of tho Japanese
delegation to the armament confer
ence here, proceeded today to answer
the specific question:: What is jap
ans justification for a big nayy?"
Every nation" he told newspaper
men, "feels the necessity of self de-
tense and knows that forces sufficient
for self defense must be provided. The
degree depends on many factors and
conditions. internal and otherwise and
the relations Of the cou ntry with 9TH
er powers.
For instance, in the Far East, ia
pan occupies an insuiar position.
Should there. exist a nation hat in
tends to make an attack on Japan, it
is the naval force alone hat can de-
sufficient. The question of the small
ness or greatness of a navy depends
upon the point of view of each nation
concerned. LIDO not consider the navy
Of Japan a great one. The plans al
ready adopted are much inferior to
the programs adopted by Great Brit
ain and the United States"
Admiral Kato. a frail looking man,
gave evidence during the conference
that he Is not in Washington as a
man of silence familiar to Toxic. He
answered practically all questions in
stantly INC with freedom. He spoke
in Japanese, being interpreted by
Professor Ichihashi of Leland Stan
ford university.
He said he wanted to bring out
clearly that Japan's position on naval
reductions had been precise and un-
varied since he first announced 1t in
Toxic yer a yea ago and he wanted
the American people to understand
that Japan goes into the approaching
conference with the willingness to cut
down the so-called "eight-eight" pro-
gram provided. agreement with the
other powers can be obtained.
Japan's Attitude Defined.
'The limitation of ornaments can
not be effected by Japan alone" he
added. AT the approaching confer
ence doubtless many propositions
may be made. If they demand the
cutting down of our program, we are
