WAR AIMS DENIED
BY t. M|YA0KA
Former Japanese Minister
Addresses Rotarians on
World Recovery.

Speaking generally on the subject
of world economic recovery, but TAX
ing occasion to digress to the timely
matter Of naval limitations, Tsune-
jiro Miyaoka, former Japanese Min
lister to the United States, yesterday
voiced vigorous denial that his coun-
try is planning an exorbitant naval
building program or that it anticipates
q war on this side of the Pacific
Ocean.
Mr.. Miyaoka was speaking before
about $50 members of the Rotary
Club, assembled for their weekly
luncheon meeting. He is an interna-
tional director Of Rotary, and Is now
on his way to meeting Of these
directors in Chicago.
Interpretation Decried.
The speaker decried the interpre-
tation which has been placed upon
Japan's decision not to renew the
naval treaty upon its expiration next
year, declaring that such a decision
does not constitute an abrogation.
After expressing himself most en-
phatically on the subject of naval
treaties, Mr.. Miyaoka declared that
entirely too much controversy is being
stirred up on the matter and turned
his attention to the economics of
world recovery. This, he said, is de-
pendent to great extent upon a
return OF the major nations Of the
world to the gold standard. The
fashion Of going off 1t, followed by
both Japan and the United States,
was unfortunate, he said.
Now in Law Practice.
In addition to serving as Minister
to the United States many years
ago Mr.. Miyaoka was appointed by
President Coolidge in 1928 as the
American non-national member OF
the Permanent International Com.
mission provided for in treaty be.
tween this country and Uruguay fol
the advancement of peace. More
recently, he has been engaged ir
the practice of law in Japan.
