fairly good chance of coming to the
State finals. Technical this year

among the best sixteen clubs in the
State. If Coach Wakefield can cure
his players of the "let-down in the

perhaps, will be cheering for the

Reasoning Of Japanese.

Some idea of the japanese reas SON
ing now in progress is afforded by the
following editorial comment from the
important Osaka Mainichi," which
has just reached Washington:
The implied intention of the United
States is to apply the 5-5-3 capital
ship ratio 10 subsidiary eaponS
Japan and Great Britain object to this.
unanimously insisting upon making
the existing strength of their fleets
their standards Of national defense.
For this reason it becomes necessary
10 work out a new ratio through ad-
1uStment of differences. The United
States claims she should be allotted
the same cruiser strength as the Brit
)sh, but this is not fair, because the
British own vast possessions overseas :.
The coast lines Of the United States
are not SO extensive as those Of the
British Empire We hold that the
United States should he allowed
cruiser ratio Of only 4. as against )
for Great Britain. This is an appro-
pirate proportion.
Japan is an island empire like the
British Empire. We therefore claim
the right 10 have cruiser strength on
a. scale Of to Americas 4. The new
tripartite ratio AS between Great
Britain. Japan and the United States
should 10, respectively, 5-4-4. If such
a ratio is put in force, Great Britain
nd Japan will have to strike GER
tain units from their lists, whereas
the United States will be permitted
10 add $4,000 tons of new ships 10 her
navy. This suggestion will likely af.
ford basis for compromise at
Geneva"
The Japanese are disturbed over
the failure Of France and Italy to
join in the Geneva conference They
realize that il the French and Italians
proceed tn build cruisers and other
light craft without lmita ton. the
British would necessarily have tc
meet that competition. in the race
thus precipitated. Japanese com
mentators are pointing out theit
country and America sooner or later
also would join. It's exactly that
kind of n new and ruinouS contest
in naval armament that President
Coolidge desires TO avert.
