ing for the official slgnification by
the Japanese Government that il
had approved the whole scheme. in
volving an agreement on the naval
ratio.
The actual status of the situation
still is closely guarded, but the out
ward signs suggest that the conver'
sations are tending toward these sep
arate agreements:
A treaty by which the United States
Great Britain, Japan and France vii
agree to cooling OFF period" of dis
cusson before going to war over dis

Explaining the application OF the

outside OF China. the spokesman
asserted that 1t might concern the
