Japan Naval

Britain
BY CHARLES A. SMITH

LONDON, April 7 GN.SD,
British government circles cauStl-
cally took note today of japanese
alarm oseE invocations of the 1886
London Naval Treaty escalator
clause by this country and the
United States.
From all quarters of Whitehall
came the comment that the
Anglo-American action is Japan's
"own fault" Invocation of toe
clause will permit Britain aud
America to construct battlesips
of more than $4,000 tons.
OFFICIALS IRKED
Whitehall authorities attributed
tn eaction of Washington ana
London to Japan'S unwillingneSs
to reveal her naval construction
plans when asked by Britain and
America to disclose them.
Officials here were irked by a
declaration of a japanese official
spokesman that citation of Japan's
refusal to reveal her plans as the
reason for the Anglo-American step
was mere transparent trick.
Nevertheless. the British felt
there is still time for the Japa-
policy and place its cards on the
nese government to review its
table.
Should the japanese indicate a
willingness to play cricket re-
garding naval matters, in the Brit
ish view. construction Of oversize
battleships by Britain and the
United States might be prevented
even at this late date.
INTEREST STIRRED
Authoritative quarters in Lon
don discussed the naval question
with special interest after Japan
made secret representations to the
British government, expressing
serious concern over America S
plans to build 45,000-ton capital
ships and indications the British
are preparing to do likewise.
The Tokyo government limited
broadly it is now prepared to dis
cusS limitation of capital ships to
halt naval race.
In addition. Japan said her
forces are nearing their detectives
in China and that she would not
object to AngloAmerican media
ton or diplomatic assistance to
China to arrange an armistice.
Grave concern was expressed. how
ever, regarding alleged Soviet
Russian assistance to China.
