Japan Details Naval Farley Hopes
Hamaguchi Statement Expresses Belief New Spirit of Trust
Among Nations Has Banshed Fears and Suspicious.

many Of the fears and suspicious which
have hampered our former efforts. We
have sent out delegates to London
hopeful that they can accomplish more
than merely set the limits of the pro-
duction Of ships of war; we want ac-
tual reduced navies, either those In the
being or those in the building and pro-
jected, and SO tighten the burdens Of
our people.
Our delegates speak for a united
people; we believe in the justice of
those proposals they are to lay before
the conference. Any amount of strength
Japan proposes to retain for herself will
always be gagged by the minimum
needs for her national security, no
more, no less. Content with an inferior
strength than the American or British
navieS, we offer no menace to any
power.
Hopes for Agreement.
Japan hopes the London Conference
will produce an agreement among all
of the five powers participating. She
wants the provisions of that agreement
to become Immediately effective. but
also that this will lead to wider apple
cation of the principles of disarmament
through the League of Nations.
1.-THE government hopes that beyond
the agreement concerning auxiliary
vessels, the five powers can arrange an
extension Of the capital ship replace
ment schedules fixed at the Washing
ton conference reducing the maximum
tonnageS and gun caliberS-if, indeed
1t be necessary that these schedules be
carried out at all"
