JAPAN SEES ARMS

~ the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 27.-Reduction of land
ornaments by fixed percentages, as
proposed last week by President Hoover,
is impossible, Gen. Sadao Araki, Japa-
nese minister of war, said today.
The elements entering into arms re-
duction vary with the situation in each
country, he said, and therefore per
centage reduction would Involve unfair
estimates of the particular defense sit
uation of one or more powers"
The proximity of huge Russian and
Chinese armies are Japan's particular
defense situation" he said.
Effects Upon Japan.
'It would be idle to deny that the
Manchurian developments, with the at
tendant i'll feeling on the part OF
America and Japan, made Japan's well
come for the Hoover proposals less warm
than 1t would otherwise have been, "
the foreign office spokesman said to-
day.
He denied, however, that Japan had
in any way proposed, or intended to
propose, to accept the Hoover plan in
return 1OI an dCQul6SC6lSc Dg IAlC

Manchuria.
The Hoover plan has not been con-
sidered by the cabinet yet, he added,
and such consideration as it has had
has been by minor bureau chiefs.
Awaiting Developments.
II was increasingly evident that
Japan was in no hurry to define its
attitude.
The spokesman admitted the gov
eminent was waiting for further clari-
tying developments and hoping to learn
what the other powers intend to do, as
well as ''to what extent America actual
" expects acceptance"

cabinet was holding an important
meeting here today at which both the
Hoover disarmament plan and the de-
velopments OF the Lausanne economic
conference were being discussed.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
remained in Switzerland and Stanley
Baldwin, Conservative party leader,
presided over the meeting. Sir John
Simon, foreign secretary. who returned
to London from Lausanne Friday, re-
mained here for the meeting.
Sir Herbert Samuel made a special
trip from Switzerland and he was re-
ported TO have brought a special mes
sage from the prime minister to be
presented to the cabinet.
It was considered possible the meet
ing may result in vital decisions af-
fecting the British position at both
conferences, but it was not thought
likely the decisions would be announced
here The probability was that they
would be announced when negotiations
are again resumed at Lausanne and

GENEVA DECISION THIS WEEK.
American Delegates Vigorously Pushing
Arms Proposals.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.
BY Gable to The Star.
GENEVA. June 27.-The fate of the
Hoover disarmament proposals prob
ably will be decided here this week.
The efforts of Great Britain and France
to pass on them with merely a polite
nod and continue the three power con-
versations with the United States has
failed. These conversations are not
only interrupted, but they probably will
never be resumed.
The American delegates are vigor-
ously pushing the Hoover plan in nu-
merous private talks. They have al
ready enlisted sufficient support to in
dicate that the plan will be brought
almost Immediately before the General
Commission and debated there as a
whole The principal supporters of the
United States are Italy, Russia and
Germany. They seem determined, If
necessary, to bring the plan to vote
so that the entire world can see just
how each country stands.
The Americans are obtaining sec
ondary support from a group OF lesser
powers particularly interested in dis
armament, namely, Spain, Switzerland,
Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Holland, Swe-
den, Norway and Denmark. These
have requested more information. They
want to know just how the American
Army electives plan works and whether
small navies may be exempted from
reduction.
They seem also to wish to amend
the Hoover proposals by adding pro-
visions for % a security pact, ca q
permanet investigation and control
commission and 90 internationaI
supervision of the private manufac-
ture and sale of arms.

else he, as we'll as the woman
singer, might have had to be car
ried from the room.
To the talk which he had pre-
pared in neatly typewriter
form, he added an extemporane-
Gus Introductory paragraph in
which he reminded his audi
ence that this was an abnormal
evening. Il can do nothing
about it," he said. nor can you,
except to remember that such
weather lasts only a few days
Which forecast, thank God,
was correct. AS | sit here at
the typewriter, five days later,
breeze comes through the win
dow, cooling me and enabling
me to consider Mr.. Rays re-
marks dispassionately. When he
got back from Raleigh, | said to
him: "Pd like to see a copy of
that talk you made. Did you
have the nerve to say anything
good about North Carolina
weather?'
He gave me a copy, and l
found that he did have the
nerve. When you are in a radio
room, out of reach of anybody
who might like to assault you,
YOU can safely say almost any
thing.
Weather is difficult of defini-
tion," said Mr.. Ray. Sun, wind,
precipitation, and other. ele-
ments enter into its making.
Their combined effect results in
the state of the atmosphere
which we call weather. Hourly
it changes. The weather of yes
terday will differ from that of
today. Variety is it's very es-
sence. The sum-total of these
transient atmospheric phenom-
ena, or the average condition OF
place with relation to weather,
we describe as climate. Wealth
er is measured as it comes and
goes. Climate, to be deter
mined, must be measured over
period of years.
Here, in abbreviated form, are
some of the statements included
| in Mr.. Rays radio talk:
North Carolina has an area OF
about $4,000 square miles. In
elevation it varies from sea level
to 6,684 feet at the top of Mount
Mitchell. Hence the state has a
widely varying climate.
In the western mountain re-
zion. between the high ranges,
are large valleys ranging in ele-
walton from 1900 to $500 feet.
The areas of both the smallest
and the greatest rainfall are in
this western region, only 6O
miles apart. The low area in
cludes Asheville, and the high
area is around Highlands in
Macon county.
The mean annual precipita-
ton for the greater part OF the
piedmont and coastal plain sec
tions is between 40 and so in
ches. Departures from normal
rainfalls are experienced from
wear to year, SO that some
times there are severe droughts
or floods. A study of the
records for many years shows
that North Carolina, with re-
spect to droughtS and floods, is
more favorab1y situated than
are the neighboring states.
Mean annual temperature
varies from a minimum OF 81
degrees in the Watauga-Ashe
county section to maximum of
63 in the southeast. The warm
est month temperature is lower
than in New York and Chicago,
and the coolest month tempera-
ture is higher than in those
