SEES THREE-POWER SUCCESS.
Japanese Admiral at Geneva Farley
Is Optimistic.

TOXIC, April II CP).-Optimism as
to the outcome of the three-power arm
ament conference proposed by Presl-
dent Coolidge was expressed yesterday
by Admiral Viscount Saito, chief of the
Japanese delegation to Geneva in an
interview with a correspondent for the
Associated Press.
Admiral Saito, who has spent Writ
ually all his life in the Japanese navy,
said it was his sincere hope that an
agreement would be reached by the
United States, Great Britain and ia
pan, enabling them to limit, If not to
reduce, the present top heavy expen-
sive navy establishments.
While some critics in Japan never
have been satisfied with the Washing
ton naval agreement, it was Admiral
SaitO's opinion that no attempt should
be made now to tamper with the capt.
tai ship ratio as established at that
conference.
He said that he had no personal
opinion as far as the application of the
5-5-3 ratio to auxiliaries was con-
necessary for the experts of the three
powers to discuss this at length in or
der to determine a proper ratio. When
the various facts and figures, combined
with the actual needs of each power.
were presented. he felt that deci-
sion on this question of the auxiliary
ship ratio should not be difficult.
Rear Admiral Saito was positive that
Japan would noI raise the question of
immigration at the conference.
Evening star., 1927-04-11

M. Paul-Boncour declared that the
French project embodied the last con-
cession to be made by France. If she
went further it would mean further
restriction of liberty concerning naval
construction, which had already been
reduced by the Washington treaty.
The Coolidge conference, he re-
marked, had lowered over the pre-
paratory disarmament commission
since the beginning of its sessions,
and he disagreed with Lord Cecil s
statement that the commission should
avoid doing anything that would pref
udice the three-power meeting.
On the contrary, it was the general
conference, the groundwork for
which the present commission was
preparing, which should influence the
doings of the Coolidge conference, in
which France for the moment says
she is unable to participate"
NJ. Sato said Japan had accepted
President Coolidge's invitation be-
harmonized with the ideals of the
League Of Nations and that partici-
patton in the Coolidge conference
would not be incompatible with the
work of the disarmament commission.
Japan was proud to have executed
faithfully the provisions of the Wash
ington treaty.
FIe had no instructions from Toxic
regarding the French proposal. He
believed personally that it might
serve as a basis for discussion, but
an accord must first be reached among
the powers more directly interested.
