ity Of rights"
Japan'S Objections
Japan denounced the Washing.
ton Naval Treaty on the grounds
that its ratio system implied
moral superiority by the Western
powers over the Nippon Empire
and was an affront to her ma
tional honor.
The Japanese contention was
that Japan might be satisfied
with a navy smaller than the
American or British fleets but it
did not want it proclaimed in in
ternational documents that it
didn't possess the right to have
just as much as the Western
powers.
Equality of Security"
The attitude of this Govern
ment is that the United States
stands for equality of security"
whereby each nation shall have
the right to possess what is neces-
sary for its national defense.
If any particular ula
adopted to achieve that end
proves offensive to any one naval
power, then this country is will
ing to abandon it in favor of any
other formula that will achieve
the same .esult.
In short, this country is willing
to let Japan say it has the right
to build a navy as powerful as
the American fleet providing
Japan also agrees to refrain from
taking advantage of that right.

Baron Gottfried Won Cramm and

the Americans fighting all the
way.
Americas 1885 Davis Cup hopes
hung in the balance throughout
the match. The team score was
one-all, and tomorrow's two re-
naming singles matches are ex-
pected to be a toss-up, with Ali
son and Won Cramm each win
ming against Henkel and the
youthful Californian. Donald
Bulge, respectively. Bulge gave
the United States the first point
Saturday by beating Henkel.
The thirteenth game of the
final set proved to be the crucial
one. The score was Six-all as Won
Cramm stepped up to serve. AL
though playing tigerishly, the
great German star lost the game
after keeping it at deuce three
times. This gave the Americans
7-6 lead and the chance to
win the match on the next serv.
ice, which they did.
Teamwork Fortunate
In contrast to their usual team
play, Allison and Van Ryn played
only fair tennis today. Their
teamwork was fortunate rather
than cohesive. and appeared to
lack planning.
The German pair, on the other

game. knowing, as the Americans
did too, that the entire team
match hinged on the outcome of
today'S battle.
