JAPAN IS SKEPTICAL
OF NAVAL HOLIDAY
SAYS NIPPON premier
(By Associated Press.)

TOXIC, Jan. 1S-American propos-
ais that Japan, Great Britain and
the United States take naval hol-
iday" is eloquent proof that despite
the fabulous riches of America, she
wishes to curtail national expendi-
lures, and therefore the proposals are
intended more to help America than
to contribute to the peace of the
world" said Marquis ShigenObu Oku-
ma, former Japanese premier. in an
interview here today. He asserted
America should first consult Great
Britain relative to the suggested sus-
pension of naval program.
"OnlY when an American-British
agreement has been reached" he add
ed, "can Japan be in a position to
consider the proposition. Japan's
naval program is fixed at the mini
mum necessary for national defense.

Surprise at what it terms the "tim-
