JAPAN AND NAVY
GLOBAL BASIS PREFERRED
BRITISH EMPIRE SAFE
(Beceived October 18, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, October 17.
Admiral Yavnamoto, in an interview stated that Japan is presenting a cut-and-dricd plan, substituting global tonnage for a ratio system. Thq plan is based on the idea that all the countries concerned enjoy equal. rights of ensuring national security, each possessing minimum armaments sufficing for defence without menacing other nations, irrespective of the length of lino of communications or coastline. Japan did not welcome the strengthening of Singapore, but was not unduly; anxious, because Britain was within her national right in doing so. Japan regarded the British Empire as a unit of such wealth that no country could menace her safety.
