Disarmament Blow
Seen in Washington

BY deciding to carry out it's
threat to denounce the Washing
ton naval treaty, despite last-min.
ute Anglo-American appeals, Japan
has delivered the greatest blow
ever felt by the cause of naval
disarmament.
Such was the view held in
authoritative quarters here today
following receipt of word from
Tokyo that the Japanese privy
council had approved denunciation
Of the treaty.
Officials recalled the recent
warning of Norman H. Davis at
London that denunciation of the
treaty by Japan would open the
way for unrestricted naval COM
petition among the world powers,
create international suspicion and
threaten the future peace of the
world.

JAPAN ALL SET
To DROP PACT
ON NAV|ES

TOKYO, Dec. 10 G.N.SO.
Emperor Hirohito was expected
today to approve Japan's notifi-
cation Of her intention to abro-
gate the Washington Naval
Treaty.
His privy council this morning
adopted a draft of the amend
ment notice.
It was understood that the
original intention of announcing
the denunciation at Washington
this week has been abandoned in
favor of December 27.
A Cabinet meeting tomorrow
will consider terms of the notice
that the treaty, with it's pro.
vision of a $50 ratio, will auto
matically expire at the end of
1886, and will probably outline
in concillitory terms Japan'S argu-
ment that she no longer possesses
equality Of security" that her
national prestige has suffered by
her inferior naval position, and
that the treaty was intended only
as a temporary measure anyway.

SYSTEM
CHANGE ASKED

Montgomery county's system of
liquor control is not a success
financially, John C. Walker, pres
ident of the liquor control board,
told the county commissioners
yesterday.
Under a new plan proposed by
Mr.. Walker, spirits would be sold
in packages by licensed store
keepers. The county would re-
main in the liquor business only
as wholesaler.
There are now dispenSaries at
Clarksburg, Rockville, Bethesda
and Silver Springs. Three are
operating at a slight profit, &C.
cording to Mr.. Walker while the
fourth, at Clarksburg, is losing
money. 1t is believed under the
new plan the county would make
more money.

Bread Probe Fails to Show
Uniustified Price Rise

Counsel Robert A. Lynch, have
not been made public, but it is
generally understood that the
data he obtained did not sub
stantiate charges of unjustified
price increases. However, some
of the bakeries refused to give
him some Of the data he re-
quested and because of this it
has been strongly limited that
the minds of the authorities have
leaned toward the fact that the
information given does not pre-
sent a complete picture.
The cooperation of the Depart
ments of Justice and Agriculture
was enlisted in an effort to OBJ
tain additional information which
might prove the basis for a
thorough congressional probe, but
those two agencies have been
unable to obtain such informa-
ton.
