He insisted and handed me an en-

commerce and protection to the Goa:
ships limited in size and guns SO that
PROPOSAL Formulated.
Last August, in an interview given
the Christian Science Monitor I ex-
pressed this ideal as remote Utopian
hope, but I was glad to know that the
japanese government has now formu-
lated a proposal embodying such an
ideal to a certain degree. My surprise
and chagrin are therefore great that
today we are accused of challenging
unlimited naval competition.
I am. however, hopeful. I have
seen miracles performed, and now, in
nv old age. I am still hopeful for the
Joint action of the nations to estab-
fish and maintain permanent peace
in the Pacific and reduce public ex-
penditures on naval ornaments to
give relief to the suffering humanity
of the world.
Indeed, I should like to see a new
formula worked out so the taxpayers
of every nation could be relieved from
the terrific strain. This cain only be
brought about by mutual agreements
of the nations.
If, however, we fail to come to a
new agreement and a free-for-all
naval race starts, I shudder to think
where the future generation is going
to be. The World War taught us
bitter lesson, and now We all know
another war will be a death blow to
civilization. Moreover, we cannot and
dare not place an additional burden
on the shoulders of tired, struggling
civilization.
Pleads for Saner View.
Therefore I sincerely plead to you.
to take saner view of
the situation and help us to reach a
new agreement to make any form of
offensive war impossible
When the Christian Science Mont
tor requested the interview on naval
armament control I referred to
earlier. I gladly consented. for I
sincerely hoped my informal and I'M
official discussion might help to clear
up the increasing fear and suspicion
looming among the nations.
Little did realize then that what
I had to say would create another
source of misinformation in regard
to the internal political situation of
my own country.
Truly, there was no division Of
opinion in Japan on naval armament,
and therefore I could not possibly

of military arts with creditable lnteligence the
West looks upon us with fear and Suspicion.
The word equality" which We insist upon IN
London has only one meaning for them -
demand for unheard-of naval ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The West grossly misunderstands our proposal
for the Japanese insistence upon naval equality
and reputation of the present ratio system is
by no means demand for an increase in her
naval strength.
She is convinced rather that parity is the
first and only logical step toward the future
drastic reduction Of naval ornaments.
Therefore with her intention to terminate
the Washington treaty of 1922, Japan is earnest
ly seeking new formula of limitation by which
each nation recognizes the right to equality Tor
defense. and which at the same time makes any
form of offensive war impossible in the future.
Further, it should not be overlooked that
Japan was not seeking for an era OF no treaty,
but on the contrary is eager to have better
and more adequate treaty.
In short, Japan proposes to limit all naval

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

Eight successive victories over
hapless Hollywood gave the Los An
geles team today a 14-game lead
in the Pacific coast league. a mar
gin which dissipates hopes of any
other clubs catching the 1888
champions before the present sched-
ule is completed.
The Angels completed their rout
of their home town rivals yester-
day by winning double header,
giving them every contest OF the
series. The other six clubs split
even in their competition in the
ninth week of the campaign.
Frank Demaree, leading stick
smith of the circuit, paced the An
gels to their double win with his
23rd and oath homers, one in each
contest. The first game went 10
innings before the champions put
over the winning run. The score
was 6-5. In the wind-up Los An
geles got only four hits off Young
Densmore of the Stars but they
were enough for a 81 victory.
The San Francisco Seals and the
Mission Reds divided their double
bill. The Reds won the opener

Everything seemed to happen at

long range hitting that overcame
Connie Mack S Athletes, 5 to 3.
In st. Louis, meanwhile, the
Browns were visiting horror upon
the visiting firemen from Cleveland.
The home towners put on a spasm
of hitting in the sixth that added
nine hits to their total and seven

LONDON, June a (U.P)- To a
man who comes from country
where it is customary to transfer
any sum of money over s35 in an
armored car bristling with cooked
roscoes, tear bombs and tommy
guns, the carefree manner in which
the crown jewels of England are
exhibited is a distinct surprise.
The Jewels are kept in the lower
of Tower of London it's true, but
the tower isn't nearly SO formidable
as it sounds. You reach the jewel
room by purchasing ticket for the
modest sum of one shilling, and
walking up a narrow staircase that
is distinguished from a hundred
similar staircases simply by sign
warning you Of picketpockets.
There, in an unpretentious room,
under a huge inverted goldfish
bowl, rest the Jewels. They are
guarded only by steel screen such
as a jeweler places in front of his
shop windows at night, and, when
I was there, long and "beefeater'
snoozing comfortably away in the
corner.
One toss of a brick and a tall
man could reach in and grab, say,
the imperial state crown with four
arches which was originally made
for Queen Victoria's coronation in
1885, It's a sweet number, contain
ing. among other things, a ruby the
size of a doorknob which was given
to the Back Prince by Peter the
Cruel after the battle of Navarette
in 1867, and the 3o8 carat diamond
cut from the "Cullinan." Sprinkled
around the crown, like pecans on a
banana split, are thousands of
pearls, sapphires, diamonds and
emeralds If the tall man didn't
fancy that he could snatch the
royal scepter whose modest handle
sports the SIG carat Stars of Africa
diamond; the string Of pearls made
for the coronation Of Mary of Mo-
dena. which isn't bit bigger than a
towing rope; the Prince of Wales
gold coronet, or, if he had truck
outside, the baptisimal font made
for Charles II and used at the
christening of royal children. This
font, which is of pure gold, has
about the same size around the
middle as Kate Smith after dinner,
and is of approximately the same
height as a lamp post. 1t looks
more like something for christening
battleships than babies.

Detroit unrayelled the White Sox
with IS hits. including four home
runs. The Tigers won, 1l-2.
Then Senators, losing to the Red
Sox, 7 to 2, tumbled back into the
second division.
The leading Cardinals lost ground
in the senior loop, dropping game
to Pittsburgh. 4 to 2, and losing the
series.
Meanwhile the Cubs compiled a 7
to l victory over Cincinnati and
climbed into second place, even
with the Giants and only four
points behind the Cardinals.
The Giants failed to profit by
st. Louis disaster, Succumbing to
the Phillies, who ended a seven
game losing streak by winning G.
to 2. The Phils chalked up four
home runs. three in the first inn
ing by Allen. Johnny Moore and
Jeffries. Jeffries got another in
the eighth and Travis Jackson also
poled one for the Giants.
Brooklyn halted the high-riding
Braves, winning the final game of
the series in Boston, to l, behind
the pitching of 24-year-old Emil

San Diego Finals.

Two CaleXico boys, Alfonso o
Morales and Alva Collier, won the
senior and junior pentathlon honors,
respectively, in the finals for San
Diego and Imperial counties, held
at San Diego on Saturday.
Morales, who was junior division
champion for the past two years,
showed his graduation into the
senior ranks had not handicapped
him in the least, his total points
being 4,40S, with Billy Webster, also
of CaleXico, taking second place
with a total of 4.079 points. Julius
Torres of San Diego was third.
Golfers total was 4,943 points,
Jesus Aguilera of Oceanside being
second with 4,675 points and Will
liam Hoffman of Escondido finish
ed third with 4,231 points.
Robert Wall of Ell Centre broke
the senior broad jump record with
a leap of 10 feet, 824 inches.
Collier, a 13 year old Negro boy
made three records in the junior
division; high jump, 5 feet 52
inches; broad jump, II feet Az
inches; putting the ball, 40 feet 3la
inches.
AS a reward for their splendid
work, Morales and Collier will leave
late in July for Mexico City, ac-
companied by George Herrick, direc-
tor for San Diego and Imperial
county, where they will participate
in the international pentathlon
finals.
