JAPAN READY
TO INSIST ON
BIGGER NAVY
And Inundated Islands in
Pacific Will Be Kept
for Defense Purposes
By MILES w. VAUGHN :
downright. 1898, United Press)

TOXIC, Sept. 13.-(UP).-Ja-
pan will demand a revision of ma
val ratios at the next information
al conference, Naval Minister
Mineo Osumi told the United
Press in an exclusive interVie"
today. -.
Acute Japanese dissatisfaction
with existing naval treaties, which
limit Japan to three vessels OF war
to every five for the United States
and five for Great Britain, was
made manifest by the minister.
National security and limitation
of fighting power are inextricably
related. Osumi said. Strength of
naval ornaments depend on inter-
national conditions. he continued.
There is no reason why a ma
ton should remain forever con-
tent with a treaty previously
signed" he continued. eve signed
the London treaty only cond!-
tionally, for reasons of the well
fare of humanity.
"For the same reasons. we
signed the Washington treaty.
"Those treaties at present are
Inadequate to guarantee the Sc
curity of the japanese empire.
The international situation has
become altered since they were
drafted. :.
Furthermore, it is doubtful If
present relations are national or
economical.
"At any rate, we are dissatis-
fed with present limitations, and
will demand a change of ratios at
the next conference"
Present ratios were set at the
London naval conference. That
instrument expires in 1885. In
that year, unless new treaty IS
drafted, international observers
see a possibility of unlimited ma
val competition.
Recent unofficial reports here
were that Japan would not de-
mand absolute parity with Great
Britain and the United States, but
would insist upon an upward revl-
sion of its own fighting strength.
Newspapers here reported that ia
pan would seek ratio of 7.3 ships
for every 10 owned by each OF
the other powers.
Osumi said existing treaties to
some extent checked competition
of capital ships, thus avoiding tax
increases. Through limitation OF
types of guns, the treaties also
precluded the possibility of some
new ships becoming obsolete thru
new inventions, he continued.
He deprecated suggestions that
the United States and Japan are
engaged in a naval race.
"The two countries are build
ing only within treaty limits, so
the term naval race is misno-
mer," he said.
The naval minister touched on

Believe Maine to
Swing Dry Again
w. c. 7. U. Saws Present
Sentiment will Wane

EVANSTON. Ill.,, Sept. 13.-
(UP).-The Women's Christian
Temperance Union yesterday pre-
dicted that although Maine had
Joined 25 other states in voting
to reapeal the 18th amendment,
it eventually would swing back
into the prohibition column.
"Maine has gone wet before
now. and always the state and the
nation emerged from deluge II
wet sentiment to, a higher point
in the dry ground than ever be-
fore" the W.C.T.U. stated. ,
"Maine repealed its original
Neal Dow dry law in 1856; mat
ter mourned by drys and hailed
by the liquor traffic; two yeas
later Maine enacted a dryer law
than ever; and eventually put pro-
hibition into its constitution.
Following a national attempt
bv the organized liquor traffic 70
repeal the Maine dry constitution
in 1911. the National W. c. 1. U.
initiated its drive to put the 18th
amendment into the constitution
in 10 years; and it was there IN
nine years and a few months.
"The story of prohibition has
been one of action and reaction;
the present wet strength, which is
merely a majority of a very small
part of the voters. will give way
eventually to another great move
ment of the people against the
liuuor traffic"

next few hours in order to bring
coal operators in line on the re-
covery program.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. IS. CUP
More than 10000 miners in Wes-
tern Pennsylvania declined to 60
into the pits today, declaring they
would remain out until the code
for the bituminous coal industry
is adopted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (UP)
New hope Of an early agreement
on a code for the bituminous coal
industry came last night after
rapid series of conferences be-
tween operators and recovery adj
ministration officials.
lrked by the stubborn resistance
of leaders of the industry in the
past month to efforts to bring it
under the Blue Eagle, Admins
traitor Hugh S. Johnson yesterday
ordered action.
Five hundred operators were
called into a hearing late in the
afternoon and heard the admins
tration's demand for speed. They
were asked to select promptly two
committees Of nine members each.
One committee will consider a
code; the other the administration
of the code.
Two hours later the committees
were knocking at Johnson's Of
fee. The administrator had flown
to New York and his deputy. Ken
meth M. Simpson, talked with the
group.
At 7 p. m. a statement said:
at has become apparent that
various provisions of the code can
be rewritten in a manner to iron
out many objections and make the
code satisfactory to a larger per-
centage of the industry"
Donald R. Richberg, chief coun-
sci of the recovery administration
who outlined the procedure to be
followed in the present negotia-
tions issued sharp warning to
those groups which he described
as apparently irreconcilable."
'If they continue to remain ir-
reconcillable, we may have to pro-
coed without Them" he declared.
The possibility of separating
the industry into divisions if nee
essary to bring to under the Blue
Eagle was suggested by Richberg.
WASHINGTON. Sept. IS (UP)
The right of union workers to Sc

and enthusiasm for the heavy tasks

There was no doubt, when MacDon-
aid returned to London yesterday from
Washington, that he was greatly pleased
with the results of his White House dis
cuSsionS.
After a cabinet session today, the
prime minister expected to see Mr..
Roosevelt's special European Ambassa-
dor, Norman H. Davis, who awaits the
British reaction to a tariff truce pro-
posal.

Macdonald also will see King George

Il am very pleased with the whole

aid on his return. II met a man who
is sincerely trusted in getting things
to move in the world, and we found
ourselves in the most complete agree
ment. We had talks on how to do it Of
the most friendly kind. The trip came
fully up to expectations"
Some Of his supporters are Of the
opinion that the present arguments
about the trade pacts-which are to be
followed by special agreements with the
Scandinavian countries-may hold for
the government a way out of the pres
ent controversy.
This debate has resulted In increas-
ing dissatisfaction in both free trade
and high tariff camps, observers de-
clare, for it is felt in some quarters
that the recent trade arrangements
strike at the American suggestion for
tariff armistice during the economic
conference.
Macdonald, his political friends be-
Heve, can help the conference i'm
mensely by halting further trade nego-
tiat1ons by the British government.
