JUSTIFIES JAP NAVAL PLAN BY REAL FIGURES Wide Divergence Between National Experts Must Be Bridged. POWER RATIOS DEBATED Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY MAS!’ KOI ITO Os the .Jiji, .Japan's Foremost Naval Writer. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Expert negotiation relative to Japan's claim of tonnage increase, it seems to me, was virtue lljr over when the American experts replied to several questions which Japanese experts put forward. Among other things, a difference in the tonnage ratio between the United States Navy and Japan's, which was worked out by each expert is so wide that it might be Impossible to bridge over. It was reported the Japanese experts after careful study arrived at the conclusion that the Japanese claim is mathematically justified because of her present strength, ranging from 62 per cent to 83 per cent under the six different methods of calculation the average thereof being 70.5 per cent. Japan's 10-7 demand, therefore, based on the taetical conviction for her national security, it was believed, is strongly reinforced by an uncon troversal fact. Whereas the American answer handed to Japan's experts proves entirely out of compromise in which Japan's present strength under four different methods of calculation are shown as 45 per cent, 53, 49 and 00. instead of Japnn's calculation of from 02 to 83 per cent. Where did such a divergence of calculation come from? It might result from a divergence of opinion with regards to the meaning of “naval strength.” If so, a year's disenssion will end in vain without getting at any agreement. I am convinced, I therefore, the time has just set in when th> three chief delegates will settle it politically, inspired by strategical understanding. POLITICAL ASPECT OF QUESTION. To settle this question on' political ground It is absolutely necessary to satisfy a national aspiration to such an extent that it may not irritate a class of ieople with common sense. In other words, the ratio of our naval strength agreed here must be sufficient for homewater defense, below which the nation can never rest at ease. Put it In another "ay. the United States naval supremacy should be tactically insufficient to wage an offensive war near the Japanese coast. If this authenticated by a i tactical diagram or in a ratio of strength of offensive warcrafts, the Japanese people who have for some years been told about a possible American sea attack will surely be relieved of any fear brought to a conscience that the whole intention of the United States, by which the tt ashington conference is inspired, is nothing more .ban a peace on the Pacific •JAPAN WANTS 70 P KH CENT NAVY. Expressed concretely, the Japanese natif n is thoroughly satisfied when her der.and of 70 per cent navy meets Amercan approval, the consequent of which is her fervent belief in, and the deepest respect for the United States: thereby not only the real lasting peace of the Pacific and the Far East is assured, but also the further reduction of naval srrengfh. without affecting Its relative efficiency, is very likely to follow. WHAT DIFFERENT RATIOS MEAN. The 10-6 ratio gives 0C per cent to the United States Navy in her supremacy over Japan's. The 10-7 claim is to lessen that supremacy below 50 per cent, only to remove her fear of being attacked. Japan's offensive with 70 per cent navv is unthinkable. America’s defensive security is plain enough. But is it beneath your dignity or prestige to change your proposed ratio after getting together negotiation? Insofar as 10-6 ratio is a proposal subject to discussion, not a bit of a dictated one, we are confident, a revision is simply natural when a better effect is clearly forseen. Here a much better effect is clearly seen satisfying Japanese aspiration without, in the slighest degree, affecting America's national security. Within tha compass of naval ratio agreement, the Japanese nation ardently hopes for 70 rer cent navy standing side by side with the experts conviction and the Cabinet's approval thereof. If it is possible to prevent both navies from firing at each other in any event on the Pacific, by means of a treaty, the naval ratio question might find a broader way out. Until otherwise I again express my hearty wish that the American public will not hesitate in pondering over Japan’s “Safety First” aspiration.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Accord Between Britain and France Is Materially Lgw LONDON, Nov. 29.—The accord existing between Great Britain and France is on the point of dissolution, according to a statement in the Dally Express today. The Daily Express made a great display of the report, putting the tesponsibility on Marquis Curzon, the British foreign secretary. The demand is the resignation of the foreign secretary. Relations between France and Great Britain have been strained for some time, particularly since the French entered into a treaty with the Turkish nationalists.

HOOSIER GRAIN FEEDS STARVING State Responds to Appeals From Near East. A stream of golden grain is pouring in from corn crib and field in many Indiana counties destined to feed the starving children and men and women of the Bible lands, according to Russell G. East, State grain director for the Near East relief committee. One of the most effective features of the appeal is the movie dranla, “Alice in Hungerland,” Mr. East says. This picture was produced last summer In the Bible lands, and shows the spectator what is being done with his money in the Near East relief work. "The shipment of corn to Armenia and the Bible lands is having a dual ■ effect,” says a bulletin from the relief organization. “It Is saving the lives of thousands of starving women and children, and it is building a future market for the corn and corn products from the Midwest.” Indiana is asted to furnish 200 carloads of corn to t.e milled into corn flour and grits and then shipped overseas. Marion fountv has promised two and onehalf carloads to be assembled in December. The national quota is 5,000.000 bushels of grain. 20 KILLEr IX BELGIAN WRECK.
