BARGAINING ROLE

Baron Says Cable Delays
Cause japanese to
Wait.

Japan resents the Implication that
she has resorted to oid-time diplomatic
methods of bargaining to write her
will into the final decisions Of the con
ference on limitation of armament,
An official statement denying any such
intention or desire was given out last
night by Admiral Baron Kato as
follows:
The question Of limitation Of naval
armaments involves issues which are
of far-reaching effect upon the ma
tional and international life of Japan
and on the policies Of great powers
for decades to come and perhaps
permanently.
Regrets Gable Delay.
These issues should be brought to
the full knowledge and consideration
of the japanese government before
definite action is taken. Unfortunately
there are at present serious delays on
the cables. and naturally the consulta-
ton with Tokyo on such important
problems cannot be completed in toe
