SAYS JAPAN MUST
 MAINTAIN SECURITY
American Ambassador Con- pares Its Place to That Of U, S.

Tokyo. Feb. 5 tP,-William F. Castle. Jr, United States ambassa- dor 10 Japan. said yesterday that whatever may b. accomplished at the London naval conference. l am sure that nobody will suggest 10 Japan any sacrifice endangerns its national security, or challenging it's preponderunt naval strength in the Orient"
 Making his first public utterancc in Japan in an address at 2 dinner Of the American Japan society in | his honor, the new ambassador said;
 Tt is a wonderful thing to he representative in Japan of a nation desiring nothing but friendship. I know Of no two nations whose in tereSts more thoroughly coincide than those of Japan and America. Just as VIC believe that tho in flucnCc Of the United States on the American continent is a guarantee of peace. so de we believe that the power or Japan in tho Orient is a due to the NjSor and forward look inG nature oS it's government and people, which leads to order, prog rtss and peace in the western P&cific.'
 Continuing Ambassador Castle said:
 | sent to Show Views
 President Hoover did not send mo 10 Japan 10 insist upon the American viewpoint in such con- | troNcrSies as may arise in London. i He sent mo in order that there might be someone in Tokyo able fully and frankly 10 express his | ideas"
 Referring 10 the effect Of the de- Nclopmcnt or aviation on naval values. the ambassador remarked: i This shows how dangerous and unpise may be the stirring up of popular opinion by the press Of any country faNoring any single type of ship. The American press, for example. said so much about lO,000- ton cruisers that many people be- iieve that the conference will stand | OI 4dIi oH ll!lS type.
 ''Would it not be more accurate to say that the conference will stand or fall. according to the measure ot good will of the participating na- lions" Here, certainly. Japan and America stand firmly together"
 Abiding to the Kellogg peace pact, Ambassador Castle said that If we have agreed 10 live in peace surely we can discard some Of the weapons that VIC have forged against each other"
 The ambassador then turned tc the subject Of Chinese relations sayinc:
 Sees No Friction
 'lt is absurd 10 talk Of friction between Japan and America oycl the development Of the great poten. tial markets Of nina. There. moro than anywhere else. should he co operation, instead Of rivalry. Japar needs American raw materials tc manufacture what the Chimes, want. America needs the good vii of Japanese traders in China in th, distribution Of American mad goods
 we may differ at times concern ing the best method Of helping the Chinese 10 attain political and econ omlc stability but our fundamenta aims are idcntical-the upbuldine Of prosperiOus and contcntc[ nation. We have no quarrel on tho subject of China. I can see nont even talntly looming in the dis. tance."
