Toxic. March 25-Assertions that the
Japanese naval program was being FOL
lowed for the purpose of competing with
the United States Navy were denounced
as ..prepostcrous and absurd by Vice
Admiral Tomosaburo Kato. Japanese
minister Of marine. in an interview with
The Associated Press. here today. He
declared that the Japanese naval pro-
gram had been formulated so fhat the
island empire could be defended against
any emergencies arising in the far east
alone.
During the course Of the interview
the minister emphasized the fact that
Japan's project 10 have n fleet Of eight
battleships and eight battle cruisers not
over eight years old was not necessarily
irreducible. He indicated that il all
the naval powers would agree TO a
naval holiday he would not insist
upon the completion Of the naval pro-
gram.
Let me say" the minister explained.
that our idea in considering the exist
cnce Of the TWO squadrons. the irredu-
ciblc minimum necessary for naval
defense originated after the Chino
Japanese war and before the Russo
Japanese conflict

propagandists or mischief makers try

a desire to compete with the United
States navy. Nothing could be more
preposterous and absurd than this con-
tentiou. Needless TO say the japanese
