Means Big Expenditure.
1t is pointed out. therefore. that
Japan's future navy, as at present
outlined. will have sixteen tirst-class
fighting ships of the latest construc-
ton. as well as numerous ships of
the second line. to which the war
ships now building will fall when
a period of eight years makes sub

takes objection in his campaign for
an International agreement for naval
restriction on the ground that the
budget involved will prove disastrous
for his country.
\ comparison of the strength of
the navies of Japan and the United
States shows, according to the view
held here. that IN 1921 Japan will
have one fewer major ship, two
more light cruisers, EGO fewer de-
stroyers and eleven fewer subma-
rines than the United States.
Status Two Years Hence.
By the end of 1923. if the pro-
grams of the respective countries
are carried out the United States
will lead Japan by sixteen in major

destroyers and twenty-f four more
submarines. but on the other hand.

have two fewer big ships three

fewer GestroyerS. Japan is, how>

in disuse. The hobnails Of his heavy

op-shouldered. He wore short
beard streaked with white, and
there were deep furrows in his face.
His eyes were hidden behind spec
