epochal step taken by her to make
her position in the far east impreg-
nable. Coupled with Japan's with
drawal which Rear Admiral Yama-
motto, now in the United States en-
route to London, is expected to an
nounce Nippon will demand APP
proximate naval equality with this
country and Britain.
This, the Japanese suggest, may
be achieved by the United States
and Great Britain scrapping their
capital ship tonnage down to jap
ans. This would mean a reduction,
instead of an increase in arma-
mentS, Japan contends, and put all
three powers on a defensive, rather
than an offensive basis.
Something Behind 1t All
Japan will urge that while each
nation should be permitted to main
tain a navy strong enough to de-
fend itself, it should not be strong
enough to steam vast distances and
attack others.
While this sounds both pacific
and altruistic. British and Ameri-
can critics observe, it would turn
over fully half the world to Nippon.
China, Eastern Siberia, the Philip
pines, the East Indies, India and
Australasia would be at the mercy
Of the power which recently an
nexed Korea and seized ManchWia
and Jehol.
Abrogation of the Washington
treaty by one power automatically
releases the others. Under that
treaty America undertook not TO
fortify the Philippines, Guam, the
Aleutian Islands or any other ter
ritory or possessions west of Hawaii.
japanese withdrawal will give this
country a free hand.
Race Almost Inevitable
Already the United States plans
to hold its 1885 naval maneuvers in
Alaskan waters. For years the de-
Tense of the Pacific has been based
on Panama and the triangle repre-
sented by Hawaii, San Diego and
Pearl Harbor located in the Aleu-
tians. A fortified naval and air base
at Pearl Harbor may be one result
Of Japan's action.
Great Britain contends that she
must be able to defend her inter-
ests in whatever cline they may be
menaced, including India, Australia
and Hongkong.
An unwelcome naval race has be-
come almost inevitable. To prevent
it if possible, Ambassador -at-Large
Norman H. Davis will sail for Lon
don within the fortnight.

 NEW YORK TODAY
There Were BOOs and Cat calls During Parade But
 No Real Trouble

New York, Oct 12.-(UP)-Vio- lent Columbus day clashes expected between fascists and anti-fascists dissolved in boos, cat-calls and derisive songs to-day under the watchful eyes of more than 100 policemen.
 The only move toward hand to hand fighting was quickly throttled by mounted police after some rough jostling of several hundred fascists who tried to charge q nearby anti-fascist meeting at Co., lumbus Circle.
 E The rival groups held meetings only a few hundred feet apart near the monument to the discoverer at the Circle.
 The anti-fascists contending Co., lumbus day had become fascist holiday had warned public officials that to appear would brand them supporters of Mussolini and lose them political support.
 Gov Herbert Lehman, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia and others paid no heed, and spoke at the celebra- ton.
 The anti- -fascists tried to inter- rupt the speeches with their own loud-speaker system, but police forced them to stop. Then they chanted in chorus, to the tune of John Browns Body" Well Hang Mussolini to Sour Apple Tree"

New Haven, Conn, Oct 12-(U. P)-Validity of a state statute pro- hibiting operation of slot machines has been upheld by a U. S. Consti- tutional court which dismissed a petition of the Mills Novelty Com pany, Chicago. for an injunction restraining state and municipal authorities from banning the mechanical devices.
 The Mills Company claimed the law unconstitutional because it took property without due process of law" and it imposed an unlaw- full restraint and burden upon in- terstate commerce"
 A decision handed down late yesterday stated the law was de- signed not only to prohibit gambl- ing machines but also those dis charging only token. Indeed, the elaborate mechanism, the inane 'witticisims' and symbols and terms, such as jackpot, which the machine carries invite suspicion as to the use to which it may be put" the decision read. The court found such machines games of chance "and tend to jeopardize public morals by intoxicating the spirit and habit of gambling"
