JAPAN WANTS ' NAVAL PARITY, OFFICER SAYS Present Ratio of 6 to 10 With U. S. Is Held Insufficient. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS 6cripp*-Ho*ard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 That Japan plans to denounce the naval limitation treaties of Washington and London in 1935 unless given parity with the United States and Great Britain, is clearly indicated by Captain Gumpei Sekine of the naval staff at Tokyo. Nippon will not b° content with , parity in her own waters, but must be strong enough to meet the United States on equal terms in mid-Panfic, Captain Sekine declares in the semi-official review, “Contemporary Japan,” copies of which have just reached Washington. Coming on the heels of the seizure at Honolulu of seventy-seven cases of pamphlets containing Lieu-tenant-Commander Kvosuke Fukumagas vivid “description” of Japan's capture of the Hawaiian islands in 1936, the statement aroused unusual interest in naval circles here. Japanese Offensive Prevented Captain Sekine now is chief of section of the naval office at Tokyo. Because of his official position and the nature of the publication in which he sets forth Japan's stand, his views are regarded here as representing those of the Japanese general staff. The present Japanese-American naval ratio of six to ten, he observes, is barely sufficient to protect Japan’s own shores. It prevents taking the offensive. "If the American and Japanese fleets meet in mid-Pacific,” he declares, ' American superiority, by the law of N square, becomes 100 to thirty-six. “This law,” he explains, “has been acted upon bv most of the able naval commanders of the past, including Nelson, in the planning of their campaigns. In simple terms, the power of given armed forces in conflict works out as the square of their quantity.” That is, ten American units have the power of 100 and six Japanese units have the power of thirty-six.” Deadlock Due in 1935 Unless America and Britain back sdowii from their present position, therefore, he warns, the naval conference of 1935 will be deadlocked from the start. “It is assumed abroad," he continues, “that an armaments race would ruin Japan. This is not true.” Not only would the population of the country, to the last man, get behind the government, but “with restrictions removed,” Japan would build the kind ot navy she needs intsead of the kind other powers say she can have. “Success is not always guaranteed to the longest purse.” Japan made vast “sacrifices,” j Captain Sekine declares, to help bring about international unity at Washington in 1922 and at London in 1930. Since then her eyes have been opened. At the first test—when Japan invaded Manhcuria in 1931—both America and Britain failed entirely “to understand her motives or even to recognize the legitimacy of her acts." Good-Will Too Uncertain “To put it bluntly." Captain Sekine concludes, “the Japanese have come to recognize that international goodwill is too uncertain a factor to be relied upon as even a partial guarantee of national security.” The appointment of Hircshi Saito as the "boy ambassador" to the United States, is interpreted as i:i line with the above. Not only is the new envoy the youngest ever sent to this country by Japan—he is only 47—but he is one of the ablest and an expert in naval diplomacy. Ambassador Saito will doubtless have two key tasks. First, to popularize the idea that what has happened in Manchuria is water over the dam, and second, that naval parity is Japan's goal in 1935, sans which she will claim a free hand. gree on the Absolute scalp is the lowest temperature ever produced and measured; the feat was accomplished recently at the University of Leyden.

the birth of Alfred B. Nobel, founder of the Nobel awards. “Neither Europe nor Asia will start another war unless they have gone mad,” Kellogg, who won the Nobel peace award in 1929. said. "±1 they have, my advice to our country is to keep our sanity and keep out of it. Kellogg expressed belief that “the time has not arrived when there can be total disarmament, but the reduction in armaments to a point where nations are incapacitated for ambitious aggression is entirely possible and, in fact is demanded by the highest interest of national safety.” “I do not believe that it is possible to set up any international tribunal to decide who is the aggressor and to punish the offending nation,” he said referring to possible retaliation against armament offenders. Nobel was eulogized as “primarily a creative spirit,” by Professor Albert Einstein, winner of the Nobel prize for physics in 1921. Other speakers included Sinclair Lewis, winner of the 1930 literature award; and Dr. Irving Langmuir, winner in chemistry in 1932. Deer carry scent glands on their hind legs.
