AMERICAN PROPOSALS
ATTACKED IN JAPAN
Called Plan for Expansion Instead
of Naval Curtailment
in Editorial.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, February 10. The English
language edition of the Osala Maini-
chic yesterday editorially assailed recent
American disarmament proposals, de-
claring that "a proposal for expansion
has been offered conference ostensibly
convoked to seek naval curtailment."
I'VE register hearty disapproval," said
the Mainichie, terming the proposal
sweeping and revolutionary" The edi-
torial asserted Hugh S. Gibson, Ameri-
can Ambassador to Belgium and con-
ference delegate, remarked in Geneva
that America would be satisfied with
between 100000 and 100000 tons of
cruisers. The paper pointed out Amer
lea now is asking 1900 tons.
Referring to the American suggestion
that America and Japan be allowed to
build one new capital ship to offset the
British vessels Rodney and Nelson, the
editorial said:
I'VE do not know the British re-
Spouse to the proposal, but we def
nitely say: No, thank you!'
1--WE entered the conference because
we thought its purpose was reduction"
The editorial concluded:
I'VE regret the American attitude,
which is unworthy of the noble prece-
dent established at Washington in
1921"

Commenting on reports published
yesterday, oficials Of the Department
Of Justice and the Prohibition Bureau
said they had never heard Of the ru-
mored threat by Chicago gangsters to
kill officials of Fruit Industries, Ltd. If
they sold grape concentrate there.
Some offlcials recalled that several
years ago It had been charged that Chi
cago gangsters had refused to permit
unloading Of carloads Of grapes until q
tribute had been paid them.
It was said that frequently because
of the gangster interference grapes we're
sold at less than the cost OF shipment
and found their way into the hands of
ganester winemakers.
The suggestion was made that the
grapes were now being made into graz
juice by the growers, and thas
ganesters were losing profitable so, :
Of revenue. which might have caused
them to resort to intimidation.
From another source here close TO
the Fruit Industries, Ltd, 1t was said
the president Of the company and an
other of1cer had been threatened by
gangsters several times during the last
year.
It was added that reports that the
threat came from Al Capone's gang
could not be proved because most Of the
communications were anonymous.
