SAITO SEES PEACE
DESPITE BIG ARMS
japanese Envoy Believes No
Great Nations Want
War.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-Despite
heavily increased armaments among
nations and still unsolved interna-
tional problems, Ambassador Hirosi
Saito of Japan last night predicted
an era Of peace among the great
powers of the world.
II am not alarmed by the frequent
reports Of danger" he told an au-
dience at the annual dinner of the
Japan Society Of New York. Il can
see none that is serious on any
frontier, either across the Atlantic OF
across the Pacific, and certainly there
is none on the North American con-
tinent. I can see in the policy Of nc
great nation a desire or intention oi
making a great war"
Some Of the problems that "are
daily taxing the craftsmanship Of
Europe, Africa, America and Asia
may result IN bloodshed, he said.
But that does not mean that
great war will again take place" the
Ambassador hastened to add. "That
will only be an incidental and nee.
essary ablation that occurs in the
general process Of settling down
Many Of these problems can be COM
posed-some OF them are now being
composed-by peaceful means"
He professed to see in widespread
realization of the futility of war
and a growing prevalence Of justice
in international problems" two force.
"that make for the gradual shifting
of mans mentality in favor Of peace.
Evening star., 1935-03-21

divisions are to be mobilized when
he spoke of the mobilization "for the
present of two divisions and the i'm
mediate constitution of other units
destined to substitute for them and
eventually to be mobilized also"
The Italian government cannot
accept a situation determined by a
unilateral decision annuling obliga-
tions of an international character" !"
Italy informed Germany in her note
protesting the Reich's rearmament
program.
The note says the Reich's decision
is particularly serious because Of the
state of uncertainty which 1t excites
in all countries"
Version Of Presentation.
A government spokesman said the
exact version Of the presentation Of
the Italian note at Berlin follows:
Ambassador Cerrutti was received
by Foreign Minister Konstantin Won
Neurath and presented the note. Won
Neurath received the note most
courteously. He did not turn 1t down
or refuse to receive It. Having re-
ceived it, he then reaflrmed the Ger
man point of view. His reafiirmation
was that 1t was not Germany who
had violated the Versailles treaty. He
said it was the allies who had vio-
lated it by not disarming as they
had promised to do under the treaty.
Not Rejection.
Certainly this does not constitute
rejection of the Italian note" said
the spokesman. "The note has been
accepted and the protest has been
made. There Is nothing extraordinary
in the fact that Germany should have
again repeated her argument"
The spokesman said the same CIR
cumstances Of presentation Of the
italian note hold good for the presen-
tation of the French note and that
therefore both nQ b have been
accepted.
