ON CRUISERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.--Having
indicated their general agreement
with United States naval aims in
their informal conversations with
President Hoover and Secretary
of State Stimson, the Japanese
delegates to the London naval
conference today tasted New
York's hospitality before embark
ing for Europe on the White Star
liner Olympic tonight.
Arrangements were being made
this morning for an official re-
ception to the delegates at city
hall. At luncheon, they were to
be the guests Of Consul General
Sawada. In the afternoon, Mrs.
Sawada, wife Of the consul gen
eral, was to give q tea In honor of
Nine. Takesili Takarabe, wife of
the second ranking member of the
delegation.
Dinner Party Tonight
In the evening, the delegates
viii be the guests Of the japanese
( colony in New York at q dinner
. TO be given at the Nippon Club.
Immediately after the dinner, the
entire delegation viii board the
olympic.
Upon their arrival from Wash
1ngton last night, the delegates
were met by delegation Of promi.
nent countryner1 here, headed by
CanSul General SaWada, and were
driven to the Hotel Plaza.
At the hotel, former Premier
Reijtro WakatSuki, head of the
delegation. further clarified his
country's stand on naval disarma-
ment. He indicated that while
he, personally, favored permanent
cessation Of building Of capital
ships, he would. not make so radi-
cal q suggestion at the conference
but would back any moves to
effect such a ship building holi-
day at least until 1886.
To Insist ON 10 r. G.
Despite any reports to the con.
STary enanating from Washing
ton, he stated, Japan would re-
main firm in its intention to de.
n1and q full 20 per cent ratio in
naval strength, in general, and
in 1O,0OO-ton cruisers, in particu-
lar.
Because submarines were the
most adequate type tof ship" for
sIapan's defensive purposes, the
Japanese statesman declared.
Japan would demand submarines
Of the number thought needed.
However, he indicated that Japan
would not urge that the right to
build small submarines be Inre-
stricted.
In this connection, he made It
clear that Japan's claim to sub
marines had nothing to do with
the claims Of France and Italy
but were based solely on the ex-
tended coastline Of the japanese
Islands which needed defensive
craft.
He also announced that SINH
lar informal conferences to those
held in Washington woald be
held with British leaders when
