TOKYO. April 24.--Japan is using
the zap question to force the allies
to comply with the pact of London,
including its reference to the dis
position of Shantung.
Irritated by an intimation that

on the Shantung question. there

that. Japan will declare an Asia

tente deserts Tokyo.
Absolute silence Is being main
tained in the foreign office. but it is
believed that Japan will refuse
even to discuss the mandate ques-
tion which, 1t asserts, has been SET
tied all the time and discussion OF
which now would open the shan
tung issue. together with the whole
question of the finality of the Yer
sailles treaty.
II American recognizes the validity
of the Yap mandate, then Japan
probably would be willing to recog-
nize and discuss the cable question.
hrm stand on the mandates is
necessary in order to avoid giving
America any ENCOURAGEMENT to
take up the awrd Of Shantuns to
Japan. This Is the reason why
Japan stands determinedly. Shou d
Great Britain and France side with
the American contention, then Japa n
may asert that the treaty has been
broken and may hold itself free
to proceed to obtain political and
commercial control of China. Japan
Is preoccupied with the danger that
the London pact will be wrecked,
the mandate for Yap is lost.
While the government Is silent.
other leaders are becoming more
outspoken. Baron Sakatani saws
that Japan will not Yield an inch

BRITISH and JAP
NAVALPROGRAMS
ARE TO Be AIRED
Disarmament Hearings in
House to Show Ri
vals' Plans.

Disarmament hearings TO be
started this week by the House
Committee on Foreign Relations are
expected to bring to light interest
ing facts on the naval building pro-
grams OF Great Britain and Japan.
These two countries are Americas
rivals in sea power.
Information on relative strength
Of the three powers, to be offered
the committee. will center about
these two facts:
I-Great Britain has resumed the
construction Of capital ships. and
purposes to lay the keels OF four
this year.
Japan is engaged in the great
est naval building program ever
undertaken by any nation in time
of peace. and by 1927 will have-1
neet almost equal in strength to
Americas.
Britain's Budget 500. 900 900.
Britain since 1916 had not con-
structed capital ships and her de-
cision TO resume building is recent.
Her naval budget calls for an eN-
penditure Of some s40O. 100000. This
is Of interest in connection with the
controversy over the value of these
huge vessels in meeting subsea and
air attack. Opponents of the Ameri-
can 1916 naval building program
argued against its continuation on
the ground that much of the value
Of big ships had passed. Failure OF
Britain to resume construction had
been cited as evidence of the same
belief among the naval experts Of
that country.
The committee also is expected 10
learn of a project gaining headwsy
in Britain for the creation Of Do
minion navies. The idea is to be
discussed at the Dominion confer
ence to be held in London in June.
The oricial Gazette of Japan. dis
cussing the ultimate naval strength
Of the two countries, IL the present
programs are carried on, figures the
strength in this way:
