American proposals that Japan, Great Britain and the United States "take a naval holiday" is eloquent proof that despite the fabulous riches of America, she wishes to curtail national expenditures, and therefore the proposals are intended more to help America than to contribute to the peace of the world," said Marquis Shigenobu Okuma, former Japanese premier, in an interview here today. He asserted America should first consult Great Britain relative to the suggested suspension of naval program. "Only when an American-British agreement has been reached," he add ed, "can Japan be in a position to consider the proposition. Japan's naval program is fixed at the minimum necessary for national defense." Scores America. Charges that it appears the American government is giving the incident arising from the death of Naval Lieutenant Langdon at Vladivostok undue importance are made by the Kokumin Shimbun. '.'If, as believed," the newspaper continues, "America goes as far as to bring up Japan's baic policy in Siberia, including the question of the evacuation of that country, by Japanese troops, it is likely that fresh cause for discusion has arisen between the two governments. Moreover, such a question would cause a dispute between the Japanee foreign office and military authorities here." Surprised at Timidity. Surprise at what it terms the "timidity of the government," is expresed by the Hochi Shimbun, which adds: "The government is doing everything to apologie to America, when, according to information reaching Japan, no fault was found in the actions of the sentry who shot Lieutenant Langdon. Apporently the government has two stories one for American consumption, and the other for Japanese." Exenorates Sentry. The Yamato Shimbun argues the sentry was merely performing his duty and asserts there is no reason for the death of an officer in a foreign country being regarded as a serious international incident. Press advices from Vladivostok declared Lieutenant Langdon walked to the cruiser Albany, saluted the gangway guard and collapsed before making any statement.

"AH the other countries, led by France," he continued, "were not in ; terestedN in Armenia's fate and under these circumstances who could blame our unfortunate people if they should throw themselves into the arms of the Bolsheviki after having for two years vainly implored help from the entente? "The " Bolsheviki. after having favored a Turkish invasion of Armenia, now pose as liberators before the Armenians and will certainly acquire notable prestige if they succeed in driving out the Turks. The Armenians do not possess large properties or in dustries to be communized, and, in fact, the Bolsheviki represent a small minority in my country. "Under article 7 of the Turkish armistice, the allies were pledged to occupy Armenia villages in case of trouble. Not only troubles occurred but Mustapha Kemal led his Turkish Nationalist troops into Armenian territory as far as Kars and Alexandropol without the allies moving a finger.
