Why could not Japan recognize
Americas supremacy in the Eastern

Sakamoto.
If America is satisfied to conclude
an agreement of such a nature, / do
not believe 1t would be difficult"
Hirota replied
Then he went on to say that some
people believe Japan will demand
parity at the next naval conference
merely for the sake of asserting equal

That is a mistaken idea If

VIENNA IS STIRRED

VIENNA. February 24-The Aus
trian capital. which last week trem-
bled under artillery fire, was enlivened
TODAY by rapid-fire rumors-some cid
and some new. but as fast and per-
sistent as machine gun fire.
There we're rumors that President
Miklas had resigned: rumors that
Prince Won Starhemberg, leader of
the Fascist Heimwehr, was seeking i
conference with the exiled former
Empress Zita: rumors that DR.. Kari
Buresch. minister of finance. was
about to be thrown out of the cabinet
But these were not all the rumors.
There were others. such as rumors
that the Nazis were marching OF
Vienna or massing on the Austro-
German frontier; rumors that Fulvio
Suvich. Italian undersecretary of state
and Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss
were holding conference to deter
mine a, military alliance
between Austria, Hungary and Italy.
No Proof Found.
The difficulty with most of the
rumors is that they are rumors, and
as far as definite proof is concerned.
nothing more.
Miklas and Won Starhemberg rumors
were officially denied, So also we're
the Nazi rumorS.
Suvich arrived in Vienna from
Budapest at 1890 pm. thereby sub
stantiating at least the fact of his
presence here. but was scheduled TO
speak only briefly with Dollfuss be-
fore continuing his journey to Italy.
At the same time, political minds
continued to occupy themselves with
the fate of President MiklaS.
1t is definitely known that the

cuted for firing haystack before the
civil war-upset the President to such
an extent that he Cancelled a dinner

The events of the past week are said
to have had an even more depressing
effect on him. making him not only

Furthermore, the new Dollfuss de-
cree ousting all officials elected with
the help of Socialist votes, really af-
