u. S. Note; May "Per-. !
haps" Be Replied to

TOKYO, Feb. 7. (UP)-Japan
is not planning to construct bat
tleShip of $4,000 tons, a foreign
office spokesman asserted today in
discussing a reply to the rquest
Of the United States, France and
Great Britain for information on
whether she is building super
dreadnaughts above naval treaty
limits.
Earlier it had been understood
unofficially that Japanese naval
officials had decided to reject the
Anglo French American request
but agreed to include in a reply
some naval information tending to
calm the three powers.
The spokesman said that per
haps" Japan would reply to the
request before Feb. 20, the dead
line set in notes from Washington,
London and Paris.
1.-THE only fundamental princi-
pie of Japan regarding armament
or disarmament is that of nom
menace and non-aggression," the
spokesman asserted.
Japan always is prepared to
consider any proposal in any form
from the standpoint of that prln-
ciple.
ut has been widely reported IN
foreign cables that Japan is build
ing battleship of $4,000 tons but
there presently is no plan to con
struct q battleship as reported IN
those cables"
"On the other hand" the Spokes-
man continued, "the Japanese peo-
pie have gained the impression
that the principal powers already
have commenced an armament
race.
Britain began naval expansion
in 1887 at the huge expenditure
of 1,5OO,OO0,000 pounds sterling
(about $7,50O,000, 000) the United
States congress is considering a
naval construction plan ealing for
an increase of 20 per cent in war
ships over the maximum stipulat-
ed in the last London treaty.
"If that is realized the United
States must be deemed as follow
ing Britain's initiative"
The spokesman refused to dis,
cuss the American, British and
French notes except to say that
perhaps they would be answered
as requested.

Areas in which pirate subma-

SPANISH LOYALIST
STRONGHOLD FALLS

WITH THE NATlONALlSTS
AT SARAGAOZZA, SPAIN, Feb.
7. (UP)-Nationalist advance col
umns last night entered the loyal
ist stronghold of Alfambra, 10
miles north of Teruei, in a whirl-
wind advance that killed more than
$500 loyalists, seized 20 villages
and lifted the enemy's siege of the
ruel-Saragozza highway.
Field radio reported that the
first nationalists entered Alfam-
lbray desp in tsrritory that the
1Roysrnrnent has held since the
outbreak Of ths war, ~ 6 p. M,
and that -'sthe advance continues
under General Jose Fidel Davila,
Generalissimo Francisco Francois
new minister of national defense.
"The nationalist advance con-
tinues, gaining as much ground as
yesterday and taking many enemy
positions, war materials and pris-
oners," the field radio reported:
The nationalist troops, dribing
eastward in three columns COM
manded by Generals Juan Vague,
Juan Bautista Sanche and Nj
guel Amanda, dominated the Teru-
el-Portalrubio highway by their
capture of Alfambra. The road is
a chief line of communication for
the lopalists holding the shattered
city of Teruel.
Before the occupation of AL
fambra, Francois commanders re-
ported that more than 375 square
miles of new territory had been
occupied in the swift advance that
began at dawn Saturday.
In some places the ioyallsts were
driven back as far as - miles
eastward from the Teruel-Sara,,
gozza highway which they had
been attempting for three weeks
to cut and break Frances siege
Ofpteruel.
(Loyalist dispatches at the Fran
co-Spanish frontier admitted the
Sierra Palomera front but insisted
that the strategic heights Of the
mountain range remained in their
possession.)

REVISED FARM
BILL GOES TO2
HOUSES TODAY
Expect Final Consideration
to Precipitate Bitter
Controversies
GRANARY PLANS
EFFECTIVENESS CUT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. (UP)
House and senate confereeS on
the administrations farm bill to-
day presented the revised crop
control measure to congress after
more than a month conference.
Debate and final consideration
of the bill is expected to precipi-
tate another controversy in both
houses.
A bloc Of western congressman,
headed by Sen. Joseph c. O'Ma-
honey 3D., Wyo.) opposed it, con-
tending the measure would bring
new competition to cattle grazing
states.
Farm bill sponsors, however,
predicted early approval of the
report made by chairman Of the
congress agricultural committees.
Senator O'Mahoney said the con-
fcrees had lcssened effectiveness
of the ever normal granary pro-
visions of the bill in an effort to
obtain price sterilization through
controlled production Of wheat,
corn, cotton, rice and tobacco.
Ever normal granary plans have
been modified by the elimination
Of discretionary power to be given
the secretary of agriculture to or
der stored 20 per cent Of any COM
modify produced under the pro-
gram.
The revised bill provides that
ever-normal granary stocks shall
be comprised only Of commodities
stored under the wheat insurance
and crop loan provisions of the
bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. (UP)
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
last night invited the world to join
the United States in a determined
effort" to promote peace and eco
nomic prosperity and said that this
nation stands ready at any time to
help bring about limitation and re-
duction of ornaments.
At the same time he warned
"have-not" nations - those not
self-sufficient economically - that
they can all too easily be misled
into attempting to secure by force
of arms what, under stable world
conditions, they would be able to
obtain much more fully through
peaceful means" -,
He added that if the world
"shuts its eyes to recent disastrous
developments" it would be an open
invitation for recurrence OF the
events of 1914 and 1929, ana
urged all nations to promote nor
NAL and healthy international COM
mereial relations as the surest feau

Say u. S. Foreign
Policy May Hinge
On Japan's Reply
If Not Forthcoming Roose.
welt May Redefine ADJ
ministration Views

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. (UP).
High administration officials in
Dictated last night that the United
States future foreign policy may
hinge on Japan's reply to this
country's note demanding infor-
nation on the island empires
naval building program.
1t was limited that in event ia
pan refused to divulge her naval
plans, requested also by Great
Britain and France, President
Roosevelt may send another spe-
cial message to congress redefin-
ing his foreign policy an dsup-
porting his expanded national de-
Tense program.
The note to Japan, asking
whether that government had al
ready begun or intended to begin
construction of battleships and
cruisers in excess of treaty limits,
set February 20 as the deadline
for reply.
1t stated that in case no reply
was Forthcoming, the United
States would assume that reports
Japan is building superwarshipS
are correct and would exercise
it's right" to match them. How
ever. it left open the door for
consultation with Japan to set
limits beyond which construction
would not go.
The note was considered by
diplomatic experts as an outright
ultimatum, and the strongest dip
lomatic communication sent out
by this government since the
World war.
In the face of increasing con-
gressional protests against mount
ing federal expenditures fol
ornaments instea dof economic
rehabilitation, it was believed
likely Mr.. Roosevelt might adj
dress a new message to congress
on the basis of Japan's reply.
Decision of the state depart
ment to reduce Americas armed
strength in North China by about
one-half further complicated the
foreign policy situation, and is
expected to elicit congressional
demands for an explanation.
