TOXIC. Feb. 12.-Japan refused
formally tonight to divulge secrets OF
mands for information by the United
States, France and Great Britain
Japan declal ed herself willing how.
ever, to discuss naval limitation on g
quantitative basis-restricting the size
of fleets rather than individual ships
The formal note contended Japan
failed Ito see any logical reason" fol
assuming she was planning to builo
warships beyond the limitations ol
the 1886 London Naval Treaty.
Menacing Arms Denied.
The government insisted, moreover
that Japan has mo intention whatever
of possessing an armament which
would menace other countries
The declaration was contained in a
note handed to United States Ambas-
sador Joseph C. Grew by Kensuk
Horinouchi, Japanese vice minister Of
foreign affairs.
1t answered the three-power de-
mands to know by February 20
whether Japan's naval building pro-
gram contemplated battleships in ex-
cess of $4,000 tons.
The 1886 naval accord binds the
United States, Great Britain and
France to the 35000-ton limit-a
qualitative limitation-on individual
warships. Russia and Germany are
enjoined similarly by parallel treaties
with Great Britain.
Japan is not signatory. Construc-
ton of battleship larger than $4,000
tons frees the treaty members from
the pact limit.
Information Held Useless.
Mere communication of informa-
ton concerning construction of vessels
will, in the absence of quantitative
limitation, not contribute to any fair
and equitable measure of disarma-
ment," the note declared.
1t added that the japanese gov
ernment will be ready at any moment
to enter into any discussions of the
matter of disarmament which gives
primary importance to fair, quanti-
tative Imitation
In an accompanying communique,
the government reiterated its stand at
the 1886 London Naval Conference
concerning the Importance of quanti-
tative limitations.
This was in explanation of why
Japan cannot afford to disclose her
plans of naval construction" It
declared more extensive ornaments
building by other powers would leave
Japan no alternative but to alter her
building plans to cope with such
construction"
Protest Also Answered.
The japanese government, answer
ing separately United States protest
of January II, admitted that Japan
ese soldiers committed disorders in
Marking and illegally entered Ameri-
can property at Hangchow
The japanese note, however, said
the Nanking incidents we're the result
Of unavoidable insuffciency of the
force detailed to duty protecting the
rights and interests of third powers"
Regarding incidents at Hangchow,
the note asserted supply lines were
cut and it was necessary to requisition
provisions within that city.
In view of the fact the requisition-
Ing had to be effected at night, with
fighting still in progress, it is possible
some requisitioning squads made mis-
takes in Identification" the japanese
explained.

RELIEF FFUNDDATA
Morgenthau and Bell Are
Asked to Tell Effect on
u. S. Finances.
BACKGROUND

oAI AIhCnOCND-
With industrial unemployment
increasing ouer country, need for
additional funds TOR the Works
Progress Administration has been
forecast for seDeral months. A
principal proponent of this form of
aid has been United States Con-
feence OF Mayors: labor groups also
hare argued for it.
By the Associated Press.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee asked Secretary Morgenthau and
Daniel w. Bell, acting budget director
to explain today the effect $3.50, ,000,-
600 emergency relief appropriation
would have on the general Govern
ment fiscal situation.
Some members said they wanted in
formation particularly on what the
prospective deficit would be. but also
desired to question the Treasury Sec
retary and Mr.. Bell on the general
state of the Governments finances.
President Roosevelt asked Thursday
that an additional $3.50 900 900 be ap-
propriated for relief in the fiscal year
ending next July l. This sum would
supplement a previous appropriation
Of 81, 500, 100000.
Opposition to Fund,
One committee member, unwilling
to be quoted by name, said there was
considerable opposition in the group
to the appropriation. He expressed
belief the members would be pretty
evenly divided" when a vote was taken.
The subcommittee conducting hear
ings is composed Of seven Democrats
and three Republicans.
Aubrey Williams, acting works prog
ress administrator, told the commit
tee yesterday when hearings began
that the need for the appropriation
arose from the business recession and
a seasonal increase in relief rolls.
Would Add 500,00Q
He estimated the money would allow
w. P. A. to add soc, 900 persons to its
rolls and would relieve it Of the neces-
sity of discharging 100000 others.
There are 1,950,0o0 currently on Fed
eral work relief.
Mr.. Williams said increased unem-
ployment was "spotty" and not con-
fined to any particular section.
1T Is not quite accurate" he added,
TO say the need is primarily In in
duStrial centerS."
