Won't Take Initiative for
Construction Rivalry,
Admiral Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, January 2.-The japanese
Navy is purely defensive, Admiral
Nobumasa Suetsugu, supreme war
councillor and former commander of
the grand fleet. declared today.
Japan, the naval officer assured the
nation in a special article for the
newspaper Nichi Nichi, never will take
the initiative in world naval construc-
ton rivalry.
He said, however, Japan would meet
any threat to its naval supremacy in
the Western Pacific.
Japan has no desire whatsoever to
build up enormous armaments in order
to operate In distant waters" Admiral
Suetsugu declared.
Japan Is determined, however, to
maintain undisputed mastery in the
West Pacific which is absolutely indis-
pensable to her national existence and
to safeguarding the peace of the Far
East.
If any power should take unfair
advantage of the purely defensive
nature of the japanese naval policy by
trying to outdo us in ornaments by
a wide margin, such a power should
be regarded as an aggressor with sin
lister designs on us.
Precisely as Japan stood firm at
the London Naval Conference, all she
wants now Is navy sufficient to de-
fend her own Shores-but not enough
for a war of aggression"
Admiral Suetsugu declared phenom.
enal development of aircraft and un-
ceasing progress both in design and
construction of submarines made capi.
tai ships relatively less formidable.
