Effort to Justify Japan’s Proposals
Received Monday, 9.5 U p.m. LONDON, Jan. 13,
The Times’ Tokio correspondent says Cabinet instructions to the naval .delegation direct Admiral Nagano to avoid forcing a formal decision which will necessitate leaving tho conference, .but. to make a final effort to justify Japan’s proposals. The delegation is instructed also to explain more fully the Japanese ideas regarding the reduction of aggression types and to point out that Japan will not enter into agreements perpetuating inequalities but desires to continue negotiations on submarines and other subsidiary matters. The Times’ naval correspondent expresses the opinion that Japan also seeks an agreement on the prolongation of the fortification of possessions in tho Pacific laid down at Washington. He adds: “Britain and the Dominion delegations ’ will not adopt tho procedure of making the Japanese withdrawal inevitable, but are not weakening their attitude regarding the upper limit, especially in view of their dependence on maritime defence which prohibits agreeing to limits to which other Powers are free to build.”
