at this stage of the negotiations it

Japan's Viewpoint.
Particularly the Japanese delega-

have their policies developed step by
step as the negotiations continued
and were prepared at this stage to
ask for an Interpretation of some of

On the armament side of the
Japan's desire for an in

of her navy, although so far as known

powers, had become the dominant
point today of informal discussion in

which the naval ratio for Japan was
arrived at in its proposal this
promised to become the most tightly
drawn issue of the conference.
