JAPANESE DECIDE
ON NAVAL PARITY
Cabinet Approves Program
Prepared by Minister,
Admiral 0Sumi.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, September Japan def
nitely committed itself today TO a
policy of being second to none In
naval armament
The empire determined to renounce
the present scheme of naval limita-
ton and demand in naval matters a
ranking in all respects equal to that
of the United States and Great
Britain.
The formal policy received the ap-
proval of the nations highest authori-
ties.
First the cabinet adopted unani-
mously a statement Of a naval
program which Admiral Mineo Osumi,
minister of the navy, said incorporated
the recommendations of high naval
officers.
Imperial Sanction Given.
Then Premier Keisuki Okada pro-
ceeded to the palace with the pro-
gram and it was reported that 1t
received the imperial sanction.
Later naval members of the Su-
preme War Council, among them the
highest admirals, convened to hear
and approve Osumi's report.
It was stated that the program now
definitely drawn up will be the guide
for japanese negotiators at the Naval
Conference next year, and at con-
versations in London preliminary to
the conference.
There was no official disclosure OF
details Of the policy, but newspapers
unanimously asserted that one OF the
fundamentals Is q demand Tor the
abolition of the ratio principle for
limitation of navies. This would mean
that Japan would abrogate the Wash
ington naval treaty at the earliest pos
sible date, which is December 81, this
year.
Equality Fundamental Principle.
Another fundamental was under
stood to be an insistence on a prin-
ciple Of japanese equality among naval
powers, with maximum tonnage fixed
for each nation.
Policies settled today will be taken
to London by Rear Admiral Isoroku
Yamamoto for presentation to Ambas-
sador Matsudaira, who is preparing
for the preliminary conversations with
Great Britain. The admiral plans to
sail from Yokohama September 20 on
the S. S. Hiye Maru. He will travel
by way of Seattle and New. York.

will guarantee ample protection from
any attack which may be launched
by Peru"

about purchasing 37-millimeter anti
aircraft guns, and 47-millimeter semi
automatic guns, but that he did not
give the required information.
