TOXIC, March 27.-The japanese
government officially declined today
to accept a tri-power limitation on
naval gun calibres without simul-
taneous reduction in naval tonnages
by the other great sea powers, the
United States and Great Britain.
Japan thus held herself free to con-
struct guns of any size.
The Japanese position, outlined in
note handed by Foreign Minister
Naotake Sato to the British Ambassa-
dor, Sir Robert Give, was that quanti-
tative and qualitative limitations could
be considered only in conjunction.
The not refused to accept Britain's
request that naval armaments, free
from the restraints of the now-dead
Washington and London naval
treaties, be limited to 14-inch guns.
When the 1922 Washington treaty
was negotiated, Japan possessed two
dreadnaughts equipped with ten TO-
inch guns each-the 39,00O-ton Kaga
and the 42,000-ton Akagi
Under the treaty terms the two were
dismantled and converted into air.
plane carriers.
Some naval observers believed Japan
might now 60 further than her previ-
Gus armament strength and construct
battleships of $4,000 tons or more
capable of carrying 18-inch weapons.
Construction OF such superships was
believed feasible under Japan's Ave
year naval budget.
However, doubt was expressed In
some quarters that such large guns
would be used since the British navy
was said to have proved guns of
enormous calibre are impracticable at
sea and transferred larger British
naval weapons to land defenses of the
Singapore naval base.

ROME, March 27-Informed 1tal-
ian sources said today Count Dino
Grandi, Romes Ambassador to Lon
don, has assured Great Britain that
Italy does not intend to send more
volunteers to the Spanish civil war.
The authoritative statement was
qualified in government circles to em-

II Giornale d'Italia, in . dispatch
from London relating to conversa-
tions between British diplomats and
French Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos
said
1T seems Delbos took heroic
decision to brandish the sword after
learning from London Tuesday that
the British government considered as
very grave the situation created by
Grandis declaration that no Italian
volunteers would leave Spain before
the war ended.

The Giornale said Delbos had sug-

Paris that Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler
should use his "moderating influence"
with Premier Mussolini.
Hitler responded, the newspaper de-
clared, with similar proposal that
Great Britain use her "moderating in

Government circles, interpreting the
dispatch, asserted that Italian "di-
visions. like battleships, are always in

President Roosevelt's return from

In the wake Of Secretary Perkins
assertion that sit-down objectives
'are the usual objectives of unions

individual conferences on the labor
situation.
He arrived at Union Station at IL
am, and went directly to the White
House.
Secretary Perkins, in letter reply
Ing to criticisms of Representa- Nc
Cormack, Democrat, of Massachusetts,,
said last night she thought it her
duty to declare:
Careful inquiry indicates the sit
down strikes do not reflect any wide
spread movement to defy the law or
impair civil government or change
current conceptions of property
rights"
She added that the economic conse-
quences Of the sit-down strike-no
production, no wages, no sales-were
the same as in any stoppage of work,
but said:
THE situations and considerations
surrounding the sit-down method are
different and are what make it a
grave problem and one that is a sub
ject OF concern to all who think about
1t or are in touch with it,"
She referred to the sit-down strikes
relation to the law of trespass-the
possibilities Of abuse in q number of
vays-the hazard of lack of discipline
the interference with orderly proc
ssses of adjustment"
