Jap Merchants
Favor Restricted
World Armament

Toxic, Mar. Sat meetings of
business men, similar to those held
in other places, it was decided today
to send cable dispatch to President
Harding and United States Senator
Borah. urging them to use their in
fiuence for restriction in armament
and also to request the Japanese diet
to apply a part Of the. appropriation
for armament to educational and So
cial Improvement.
Banji Muto, chairman Of the prin-
cipal meeting here today, said he
feared that the adoption of the bud
get by the Japanese house of repre-
sentatives without modification
would cause a reaction in the United
States in favor Of armament, despite
the factt hat tina country previously
was opposed to an increase.
"At time when all business is
seriously depressed, it would be the
height of imprudence to advocate an
armed peace and put the nation un-
der the screw Of useless competi-
tion," said Mr.. Muto.
