Spokesman Declares s'We

Explanation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, February 1l.-A Japanese
navy spokesman, commenting on ad-
vices from Washington that the United
States Atlantic Fleet would remain in
the Pacific, said:
"If Admiral Pratt (chief of naval
operations) says that economy is the
reason, we must accept that as the true
explanation.
Likewise, we must accept the state
ment that the decision Is in no wise
connected with the international situ-
alton.
There is no reason why the Japan
ese navy should comment, take excep-
ton or do anything concerning it. It
remains to be seen, however, what the
japanese public reaction will be in
these times of international strain
Little causes sometimes create big SEN
sations."
Asked what the public likely would
think, the spokesman smiled and said,
"See tomorrow's newspaper" However,
early editions of the Sunday news
papers lacked comment.
The spokesman, Is discussing the
American Nays economies, mentioned
that the American Navy appropriations
for 193334 will be four times as great
as those Of Japan at present rates

navys share of the budget, $4,000, 900
yen, being debated in the Diet, is ex-
citing the criticism Of Parliament.

eligible for the preference.
Last December a test shipment went

All time low temperature records fo
the United States appear to have been

but, according to Associated Press dis
patches, Yellowstone Park rangers re-
ported an officially recorded tempera-

lowest actually reported to the Weather
Bureau was IS below ut Moran, Wyo.,
but all the observers have not
filed their temperature reports. No such
low records ever have been reported for
Alaska.

curious phenomenon to the record
