NAVAL PARITY
JAPAN'S DEMAND STRONGLY OPPOSED BY AMERICA Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, November 27. Mr Carl Vinson, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee, who sponsored the Bill last session to bring the navy to treaty strength, declared that America would never countenance narrowing the five to three ratio with Japan. He said: “If the Tokio" Government does insist upon wrecking the treaty I will insist that the committee and Congress make enough money available to build five ships for each three laid down by Japan. This country cannot grant naval parity to Japan, even at the price of weakening treaties.”
