ritorial sovereignty or political inde-
pendence Of Nationalist China
The japanese attitude is that China
must put her house in order before
seeking her rightful place in the family
of nations and must live up to her law
full agreements with foreign govern
ments. In bringing about such state
of affairs, Ambassador Debuchi is in
structed to say, Japan is DESTROYS OF
being helpful, not obstructive.
Interpreting the well known state OF
Japan'S mind about the immigration
issue, Ambassador Debuchi feels that
its solution can be left to America s
sense of fair play" He has not come
to agitate for the amendment or re-
peal of the exclusion law, though 1t
rankles in Japans national breast and
continues to be regarded blow to her
racial pride. Mr. Debuchi stands ready
to explain the japanese viewpoint, but
diSclaims any purpose of intruding 1t
upon American notice.
When anybody talks of war" be-
tween Japan and the United States, the
literally silken cords of commerce
which bind the countries should be
taken into consideration. Loss of the
American silk market for the japanese
would be almost as disastrous for them
as another earthquake. Americans
consume roundly four-f1fths of the
worlds total production of silk. 1t Is
overwhelmingly derived from Japan,
which last year sold to the United
States 81 per cent of its whole export

Sincerity of U. S. Efforts Ad-
mitted While Approving
FranCo-BritiSh Aims.

BY Gable Dispatch to The Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright 1928.
TOXIC, october 23.-Carefully avoid
ing any comment which would antag-
onize Washington, Japan's attitude TO-
ward the Franco-BrltlSh navy agree
ment was given out today through the
medium of an interview by Rear Ad-
miral M. Sakonji, chief of Naval Affairs
Bureau, ministry of the Navy. The ad-
miral calls attention to the fact that
washington appears ever DESTROYS OF
striving for disarmament, an ldeai
which strengthens our commence IN
the eventual success of the world oils"
armament movement"
He reiterates Japan's approval OF the
principle of the Franco-BritiSh agree
ment as given out last night in wash
ington and London.
Sees Need of Compromise.
"Since the abortive tripartite naval
conference at Geneva last Summer, the
work of restriction of naval arms has
been handled by the league" Admiral
Sakonji said. ut is regrettable today,
however, that no appreciate progress
is to be observed so far, despite the
two sittings of the preparatory dlSarma--
ment commission in November ana
March.
ut was especially feared that unless
some compromise was reached between
the French proposal for the gross ton
mage principle and the British sugges-
ton for the classified tonnage restric-
ton plan, there could be no way to I'M
prove the deadlocked situation in the
world disarmament movement. The re-
cent compromise between France ana
Great Britain, as view 1t, was simply
the outcome of efforts by these powers
to break the deadlock by adjustment OF
their own differences and principles.
Would Consider All Facts.
1.-THE compromise, which we were
notified of. confines its scope of limita-
ton to the larger class of fighting YES
sells of each country. 1t is a matter OF
course that we consider it ideal to make
reasonable restriction upon all classes or
types of fighting vessels, but sdevelop-
ments since the Washington conference
have amply proved the difficulty of fix
ing outright restrictions on all fighting
vessels of each nation at once, due to
various circumstances peculiar to each
nation.
eve think it wisest and most oppor-
tune to confine our efforts for realization
to restriction of the major fighting
power of each nation. 1t was out of this
consideration that the Japanese govern
ment expressed its comment on the
Franco British agreement. My personal
view is that restriction of the auxiliary
craft should be considered with the ut
most fairness, owing to the peculiar
geographical circumstances Of the vari-
Gus countries"

Rome Issues Documents.

ROME, October % (P).-The italian
ministry of foreign affairs last night
published 10 documents comprising the
exchanges of Italy with France and
Great Britain in respect to the naval
accord. The publication was made by
agreement with the foreign departments
of the other two governments.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-23

that the British government had re-
luctantly proposed to offer no further
resistance to the French contention
about military reserves at the present
time" He added that it was not be-
lieved that any American interest could
be prejudiced by this change Of posi-
ton.
Press Is Critical.
The Daily Chronicle OiberaD, in
commenting on the White Paper today,
asked If the concession to France con-
corning CONSUMPTION was to be regarded
as irrevocabie.
The Daily News (LiberaD said that
the general impression remained that
Great Britain had seriously endangered
Locarno by committing herself subtly
but decisively to French interests"
The text of the agreement itself does
not cover trained reserves merely, being
an accord on naval disarmament which
the United States found unacceptable.
This text reads:
Limitations which the disarmament
conference will have to determine will
deal with four classes of warships.
cd Capital ships, that is ships over
10000 tons or with guns Of more than
8-inch caliber.
"(2) Aircraft carriers Of over TO-
900 tons.
"(3) Surface vessels of or below TO-
600 tons armed with guns of more than
6-inch and up to 8-inch caliber.
90 Ocean going submarines; that
is, over 600 tons.
1.-THE Washington treaty regulates
limitations in classes one and two and
the disarmament conference will only
have to consider the method of ex-
tending these limitations to powers
non-signatory to this treaty.
Last Two Glasses Vital.
"AS regards classes three and four
the final disarmament conference will
fix maximum tonnage applicable to
all powers, which no power will be
allowed to exceed for the total of vessels
in each of these respective categories
during the period covered by the con-
vention. Within this maximum limit
each power will at the final con-
ference indicate for each of these
categories the tonnage they propose to
reach and which they undertake not
to exceed during the period covered
by the convention"

PARIS, october % (P.-The French
official publication concerning the
Franco-BritiSh naval accord was given
out last evening. 1t confirms what al
ready was known about the nature of
the agreement and throws little new
light on the negotiations.
The official explanation accompanying
the documents recalls that Hugh S. Glib
son, United States Ambassador to Bel
GUM, was the man who set the nego-
tiations going between the two coun-
tries. He insisted that the disarmament
commission of the League of Nations
could accomplish nothing SO long as the
leading nations we're not agreed on a
basis for the work
The documents themselves seem to
indicate that until final concessions
were made to England, the French sup
ported view all along that was on
the lines of the American position. The
history of the negotiations indicates
that France finally abandoned this
point in order to obtain British agree
ment to the maintenance Of army re-
serves.
The explanatory note points out that
the compromise reached between the
two countries was to establish basis on
which the League Disarmament Com
mission could proceed.

AUTO INDUSTRY FACES
new GROWTH IN 1928
Expert Sees Ford as Factor in
Stimulating Business Of
Future.

The automotive industry stands on
the threshold of a new year, facing
greater possibilities than it has ever
before known. according to r. II.
Cram. president OF Grams Automotive
Reports, Inc, industry authority. He
says:
Nineteen twenty seven has been an
unusual period. II has been char.
acterized by uncertainty. by holding
back. by waiting for competitive con.
ditions To crystalline and for trends TO
form definite development. Caution
has been the byword with NIL com.
panies, for no one could tell what the
next day. the next week or the next
month would bring.
to immediate prosperity. But in the
long run its results will prove bene-
fetal. And the BENEFITS should be In
evidence In 1928.
THE period OF watchful waiting is
at an end. The industry has its feet
under IL once more and aggressive
action IN already noticeable Produc
ton schedules ut the present time are
being maintained at levels higher than
usual for this time OF the year. Retail
sales have not stepped up In the same
OF when the confidence now gripping
the producers Is transmitted to the
public.
las II was predicted. the return OF
Ford as an active producer has def
nitely stimulated the industry. And
while the industry was waiting for
Ford Il was laying the foundation for
more intensive merchandising. IL Was
expanding Its lines and developing and
perfecting new and accepted models.
I'm spite of this holding back, In
spite OF large expenditures for de-
yelopment and expansion. 1927 was
good year for most OF the industry.
Invested capital received a good re.
turn. Earning ability under the exist
ing conditions was satisfactory.
Nineteen twenty seven vas given

were ironed out. The decks were

with Ford taking the lead once
more. 1928 will he the period of ana
iurity. The industry II In position
10 make and sell more cars at IA lower
cost than a. any time In It's history.
The money spent for eXpa nslon and
development need not be spent again.
Income In 1928 win be available for
net earnings In a greater amount than
II was In 1877.
"Of course, some companies may not
