PACIFIC SUPREMACY
NAVAL ARMAMENTS RACE.
UNITED STATES AND JAPAN. BUILDING OF WARSHIPS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received September 12, 9.25 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 11. The Daily Express says that, following President Roosevelt’s 47,000,000 dollars naval appropriation, Japan’s demand for a 10-10-7 ratio is the second act of the United States and Japan in the struggle for Pacific supremacy. America’s intention to build 37 warships has stimulated Japan to spend £6/,000,000 on warships. The Daily Express emphasises that Britain’s tonnage remains at 300,000 tons below the London Treaty allowance, whereas the United States and Japan intend reaching the limit.
JAPANESE ACTIVITY.
A UNITED MOVEMENT.
TOKIO, Sept. 11. A lengthy interview between LieutGeneral Sadao Araki, Minister of War, and Mr Korekiyo Takahashi, Minister of Finance, is evoking the greatest interest among the vernacular Press. Beyond the obvious purpose of the interview —to secure the inclusion in the Budget of enormous sums for military requirements—plans are attributed to include the abolition of political party government and uniting the country under the slogan of national defence and increasing the dominating influence of the army.
