Japan Gives Opinion

Tokyo. Sept. IA (P> - Admiral Takarahe. minister of the navy, was quoted in the native press today as seeking a 1O-1O-7 naval cruiser ratio with reference 10 Great Britain and the United States and as hoping the impending agreement between the United Kingdom and America would permit this.
 The naval minister said the most desirable settlement between the two pOwers for Japan would be for the British and American governments to fix the limits of their first class cruiser tonnage, permitting Japan to complete its present program ana give her 70 per cent of the British and American figures.
 1 The Japanese newspapers express ed the fear that limitation if agreed upon in the impending naval confer cnce might actually result in an ex- pansion of armaments, which Japan would find burdensome for financial reasons. The press, while welcom- ing the prospect of an Anglo-AmerI- can agreement, did not think such rarity would be d step to world settlement unless the leading pow CTS were consulted and actual re- duction effected.

 Married German Wives
 Perhaps the staunchest supports of Anglo German rapproChement will prove to be the international marriages estimated at about 100 here, contracted between British officers, or privates and German frauleins. These German Gretchens have been studying English hard and are looking forward with eXpec- tation to the country of their adop- ton.
 Officers in charge of the troops say these marriages have made it a bigger problem to move the families than the soldiers, and that the transportation of baby carriages is q more difficult affair than that ot military equipment.
 For Koenigstein, as for all the health resorts of the occupied area evacuation means much more than appears on the surface.
 Outwardly it means the disappear ance of foreign flags and the display Of the German colors alone. II als' means that, in addition to barracks some 65 houses can be restored tc their owners, thus relieving a hous ! ing shortage

One Paper Protests

London. Sept. fl Pr-One voice alone among the London press dis scented today in the general welcome accorded the announcement in Washington Of a probable naval linn itatiou conference in December be- tween Grat Britain and the United States
 That voice was the conservative Morning Post, always a big navy advocate and suspicious of any move for limitation Of }ritain's sea forces. The Post declared:
 "Thc British people are nervous about these disarmament negotia- lions and don't much like this American notion Of measuring the British navy with yardstick, nor the precipitation with which MT. Macdonald has rushed into the sub Irc-."
 The paper then demanded that whom AIr Macdonald went to Wash mGton he should emulate Phihp SnoWden, chancellor of the eA- ch,quer, in his stand at the Hague, ana anu lItlU upon IIl' l'NNo7lo ties Of his own nation"
 Others Praise Move
 Aside from the Morning Post the tendency of the newspapers was 10 acclaim the prospective naval ac- cords The Daily Express, assuming it already is just about a fact, hailed it as "a irrt class event in the worlds history. far exceeding as a guarantee of peace any post war de vclopments, including the l.ocarno and Kellogg agreements. :. It is not matter of sentiment but of definite tangible achievement"
 The Chronicle was of the opinion that if Mir. Macdonald and Mir. Hoo yer could have their own way, one result would be an agreement 10 share the policing of the seas ln- stead of duplicating it. The paper said it hoped for such a develop mcnt
 The Daily News, looking hopefully for an early agreement, called for details of the arrangement "Peo- pie should know the terms of the agreement at the earliest possible moment" it said.
