NAVAL SPOKESMAN
Disagreement, in Principle,

Tokyo. Feb. 10 (AP)-A Japanese
naval spokesman indicated today ia
nan would endorse a world naVal
agreement limiting the number OF

"If the powers would approach ia
nan with the idea of quantitative liml-

said in a discussion of means to emu
the threat of a world naval building
race.
Giving his personal view of Japan $
disagreement, in principle, with the
request by the United States, Great
Britain and France for Japanese nav
al building information, the naval in
formant said:
at would, in effect, bind our coun-
trv with qualitative limitation, and
if we refused, then the powers con-
cerned are going to make it a pretext
for expansion on imaginary grounds
that we also are expanding"
Qualitative limitation (limiting the
size of warships) would be in con
tradiction to Japan's stand at the
London naval conference, he said.

approval of the compromise farm bill.
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat,
Washington, usually an administra-
ton stalwart, said he would force a
test vote on charges made, by joint
congressional committee in provisions
intended to protect dairy and livestock
regions.
The westerner added he would try
to send the entire Kill back to the
joint committee for restoration of this
provision which was in separate
House and Senate bills.
The Senate took up the farm bill
amid predictions of passage before
nightfall."
To give the right of way to the leg
islation, it laid aside, for the time be-
ing at least, the anti-lynching meas
ure, against which southern senators
have been filibustering since the ses-
sion started in January.
Debate was delayed at today's con-
vening when Senator johnson, Re-
