JAPAN'S Big NAVY
SCHEME PUZZLES
Spending 80 Per Cent of In.
come on Ships, Corre-
spondent Asserts.

LONDON. March 2o.-"what is ia.
pans object in spending nearly 81
per cent OF her national income this
year in naval and military arma
ments." Is the subject of a London
Daily Express message from Tokyo
The author OF the dispatch empha-
sizes the sensational character OF
the Eastern powers shipbuildin-
program.
The correspondent says that work
has been begun in r program which
will give Japan sixteen of the latest
and most powerful battleships by
1927. Every slip in the country ca
rable Of taking a superdresdnought
will be fully occupied until the work
is completed.
Japan will have the worlds
most modern navy, which will then
be far nearer the American strength
than the German navy was to Great
Rritain's in 1914.
Taking her national resources
into account, the japanese program
is the greatest scheme in naval ex-
pansion ever undertaken in peace
time by any country" says the cor
respondent.
Japan is spending Ave times as
much on her navy as Germany was
spending when she was completing
four capital ships a year in 4 fran
tic effort to overcome Great Brit
aims advantage on the sea.
Taking the present national
budgets for comparison, England is
spending ST. per cent OF her ma
tIonal income on her navy; the
United States is spending l0.e per
cent and Japan is spending 81 per
cent.
The most commonly accepted ex-
PLANTATION in Tokyo is that Japan
wants to be able to resist possible
pressure from America. But what
policy does Japan foresee herself
pursuing in Eastern Asia that calls
for such a formidable bulwark of
defense against a possible lnterfer-
ence from Americaa.''
