, SPECIFIC question
What is Japan's justification for a
big navy?"
Every nation" he told them, must
have means of self-defense and knows
that forces sufficient to self-defense
must be provided The degree depends
on many factors and conditions. inter-
nal and otherwise, and the relations of
the country with other powers.
Depends on Sea Force
For instance. in the far east, Japan
occupies an insular position. Should
there exist nation that intends to
make an attack upon Japan, it is the
naval force alone that can defend our
empire. Japan is not self-sufficient
The question of the smallness or great
ness of navy depends upon the point
Of view of each nation, concerned !
, do not consider the navy of Japan a
great, one. The plans already adopted
are much inferior to the. programs
adopted by Great Britain and the Unit
ed States.
He said he wanted to bring out clear
ly that Japan's position on naval re-
ductson had been precise and UNMARRIED
| since he first announced it in Toxic
over n year ago, and he wanted the
American people TO understand that
japan goes into the approaching con
ference with the willingness to cut
down the so-called eight eight pro-
gram provided agreement with the
other powers con he obtained.
Others Must Help
The limitation OF armanentS can
not be affected by Japan alone" he
added at the approaching conference
doubtless many propositions may be
made. If they demand the cutting down
of our program. we are ready to do so.
l want to make it perfectly clear that
that is Japan's attitude.
Somebody asked:
What is the proper basis of arm

Il have no doubt proposition will
be made by the Am erican delegates
to the conference" the admiral
replied. Therefore, / think it is not
my place to state at this time our
ideas ON that subject. | prefer to wait
for the American proposition.
To the question:
Have you prepared any counter
proposal to the expected American
proposition?" the Admiral 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 ali
depends upon the nature and char
acter of the American proposals.
Does Japan think she requires as
strong a navy as Great Britain and
the United States?" he was asked.
"Eight-Eight" Program.
Japan has never expected he
replied. nor has she ever entertained
the idea that she should posses a
navy equal to that of Great Britain
or the United States-she has never

Days; Others Not Sure
New Measure Closes
| Holes Used by Some to
Dodge Tax Payments.

Washington, Nov. 8.-The
breach in the ranks of house
Republicans over the accept
ance of the senate maximum
income surtax rate Of SO per
cent continued Tuesday to
widen. s
House leaders sought to de-
fer the fight at least until
after the rewriting of the bill
by the conferees gets under
way but whether negotiations
to that end which were opened
with the insurgents would
be successful remained to be
decided.
If the negotiations started Tuesday
terminate without an agreement the
majority leaders plan to bring in a rule
to force the bill to conference without
instructions to the managers In that
event the Republican .'insurgents'' and
the Democrats are prepared to make
fight on the rule. Losing in that. they
say they still will be in asposition 10

ayers ask for instructions.
Would Accept Compromise
House leaders are understood to be
ready to accept compromise on the
surtax rate at an increase of approx
uately eight per cent over the 30 per
cent maximum fixed in the bill as it
passed the house. Majority leaders in
the senate also look forward to a COM
promise at around 40 per cent
Chairman Penrose of the senate fl
nance committee, said he expected the
bill to be ready for the president next
week. Other senator's and some house
leaders were less optimistic. Esti-
mates as to the time Of final conges-
sional action ranged all the way from
10 days to three weeks.

would be yielded by the senate bill. The
