Geneva, Switzerland. June - ~
A new danger u seen by close OBJ
servers OF the Coolidge conference"
az the tri-partite naval limitation
parley has become known colloquial-
ly. in the fact that political animos-
tiles may be engendered by Japan's
support OF the British demand for
re-examininS the Washington naval
accord
The Americans are adamant IN
their decision not to resurrect de-
cisions reached at Washington At the
1922 conference as regards capital
ships, for they look upon the Wash
ington treaty as not merely an ar
rangement to limit capital warships.
but rs an instrument whereby new
era Of peace on the Pacific ocean
was inaugurated. In American
circles it is recalled that at that con-
ference the United States consented
to the maintenance of the status quo
of American fortihcations at Guam
and in the Philippines, whilo Japan
agreed to ratio in battleships con-
siderably below that Of the United
States.
Rediscussing what was settled at
Washington might arouse new and
undesirable examination Of the poll
teal situation. it IL feared. and tho
question might be raised about the
wisdom of increasing the strength
of the American bases at Guam and
in the Philippines
Some observers hold the opinion
that the Japanese are flirting with
both the British and American dele-
cations. Others maintain that the
Japanese really see in the British
plan a means Of curtailinE expenses,
while still others contend that Japan
