JAPANESE PACT
Keen Attention Attracted
To Possibility of Treaty
With Japan

WASHINGTON June Is (R-In-
siStence upon American naval parity
with Great Britain, down to the
smallest war craft, and interest in
undercurrent of discussion at Geneva
OF a possible Japanese American
permanent peace treaty characterized
official Washington reaction today
as the naval limitation conference
closed its first week.
Although the Japanese treaty ques-
tion still is far from an official diplo-
matte status, reports from Geneva
that such a pact might develop from
the naval deliberations attracted keen
attention. They come at time when
the United States and France are
considering procedure for negotiating
q similar agreement to outlaw war,
Coincidentally, the Japanese ambas-
Sador, TSuneo MatSudaira, called on
Secretary Kellogg today, presumably
to discuss developments. at Geneva
Afterwards Mr.. Kellogg said the sub
ject of peace treaty was not men
toned. His only comment was that
no formal notice of Japan's intention
to propose treaty had been re-
ceived, and that the relations between
the two countries were as friendly
as those of the United States and
France.
There we're indications today Of
irritation here over the flood of
statements published in Europe in
connection with the British naval
proposal, chiefly articles by an
Admiral B" declaring in favor Of
British supremacy on the sea. They
brought forth statement by one
high official that this government
will not and cannot accept anything
but parity with Great Britain on
every class of ship.
The American government can see
no reason why the British empire
should have superiority on account
of trade routes or possessions or any
other reason, and it was emphasized
that at the Washington arms con-
ference the British delegation agreed
to an equal ratio for all classes OF
ships.
Coupled with the insistence upon
naval parity was strong belief that
Great Britain will not press much
farther her proposal to go back to
the 1921 treaty to scale down the
maximum tonnage agreed upon for
battleships, airplane carriers and
cruisers. Recognizing that the Brit
ish program, with rigid economy as
it's keynote, would be well received
as good politics in European chan
cellories, observers described it as
a gesture which had now served it's
purpose.
In the event the British do insist
upon the treaty revision, however,
it was expected they would encounter
the stern opposition of the Americans
and Japanese. Ambassador Hugh
