JAPAN TO RETAIN
SUBMARINE LEAD
Intends to Keep Strength
Above U. S. and Britain,
Note Says.
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
LONDON. September 2.--Japan for
mally disclosed today intentions of
having a submarine strength one
third superior to that Of either OF
United States or Great Britain.
In a note, the Japanese signified
they expected to retain 1888 tons of
submarines in excess Of those Of either
of the other powers.
The Japanese move was taken in
reply to Great Britain's recent invoca-
ton of the escalator clause of the
London naval treaty Of 1890, under
which the British announced their
intention Of keeping 10000 tons of
over-age destroyers in excess Of the
10000 tons allowed by the treaty.
Under the terms of the pact, Japan,
had it desired. could have added 81, 1000
tons in destroyer strength. Instead,
the Japanese elected to substitute re-
tention of 1888 tons Of submarines
which were due to be scrapped as
over-age at the end of the year.
Under the treaty Britain, the United
States and Japan are allowed 52,70C
tons OF submarines each. But by to-
days proposal the Japanese will in
crease their submarine strength to
nearly SO 800 tons.
Under the escalator clause any sig
natory to the treaty, feeling its ma
tional security to be jeopardized, may
increase its naval strength in any
classification by notification to thu
other signers. who in turn are allowed
to make proportionate increases.
The question arose here today, how
ever. whether Japan was entitled to
transfer It's tonnage increase from the
destroyer to the submarine class.
British experts we're making a study
OF the note, which was presented Ia
the foreign ONCE this morning by q
representative Of the japanese EN-
bassy.
Although Japan. II It had fol.
lowed Britain's example in choosing
an increase Of its destroyer category
would have been entitled to some
$4,000 tons of additional destroyers
her actual destroyer tonnage now to-
tails but 1l,059.
Therefore, the note stated, Japan
intends to add the 15,59s-ton SUBJ
marine figure to the 1859 destroyer
total.
Some naval observers express the
belief that Japan, under the terms
OF the treaty, was not empowered to
thus combine destroyer and submarine
figures.

''The wires and radio bring strange

bling censorship our entire press
rises, not to protest, but to exact
an apology from a government for
the remote implication.
"In short, the press and the
readers both accept, definitely and
unquestionably, that the press
must help build nation, that the
press must agitate. and educate,
that the press must stay Free"
"The press" DR.. Housman con-

a secure social status which might

It happens less often now than

There are, for instance, four DR..
Mitchells in Washington, D. C.
AS far as is known they are all
able, highly respected medical
men. So when Rupert Hughes,
writing the story which is now
being filmed as 1.-THE Marriage
Clause" made one character,
located in washington, say DIR.
Mitchell's treatments are very ex-
penSive," Mrs. Bowman recognized
a danger signal. One of the DrS.
Mitchell might resent the in
ference in spite of the prepared
alibi at the beginning of the pic
ture.
The name was changed.
When a prison picture, such as
San Quentin" which is just now
getting under way, is in the max

Of two are doubly busy. People
resent having their names or their
automobile license numbers tied
up, even accidentally, with those

The ScenariSt in this case had
written in two numbers for such
cars. Upon checking, Mrs. Bow

a Chevrolet roadster in Los

Undesirable characters in this

room to such people. So Mrs
Bowman found five night clut

sent the list to the ScenariSt. The
names she suggested were: The

act them in appropriate cos
tune and made up for the
best impression with the
lens. Such a test means the
expenditure of several hun
dred dollars. Only those
that are rated as having
"real possibilities" get, what
Hollywood calls, the "Mc-
Coy" in the matter of test.
Let me illustrate. When
RKO was seeking an ingenue
lead for "Bill of Divorce
ment," three young actresses
were tested for this very i'm
portant assignment. They
were Anita Louise, Jill Es-
mond, and a youthful Broad
way beginner named Katha-
rine Hepburn. Anita Louise
had appeared in minor screen
roles, Jill Esmond had ap-
peared in the New York pro-
duction of "Green Bay Tree"
K a t h a r in e Hepburn was
tested because she had been
recommended to Director
George Cukor by Mrs. Ker-
NIT Roosevelt. Miss Hep
burn got the job because
John Barrymore, who had
never seen her, liked her
best Of the three actresses
whose try-outs were run off
for him in the screening
room. Barrymore picked her,
he said, because he felt sure
she had the flame within for
big scenes in which she was
opposite the star.
Pardon me, then, if this
swift cross-country tour in
quest of actors and actresses
to play in "Gone With the
Wind" reacts in this particu-
lar jurisdiction much like
what Damon Runyon calls
the "Phonus-Bolonus."
Hardly am I impressed by
