NAVAL AGREEMENT
STIPULATIONS BY RUSSIA JAPAN AND FAR EASTERN FLEET (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 25th May. 12.20 p.m.) MOSCOW, 24th May. M. Karl Radek, the Soviet publicist. in an article in “Izvestia,” explains that the Anglo-Russian naval agreement depends on Japan’s willingness to conclude a similar treaty with England and the non-inclusion of the Soviet’s Far-Eastern fleet in any agreement. Russia is striving to agree with Japan on naval limitation, pending which it cannot limit the Far Eastern fleet or supply information on it owing to Japan’s breach of the Washington Treaty and her withdrawal from the London Conference. Russia must rebuild her fleet owing to the failure of the conference and the steady increase in naval armaments by other powers, and the loss of nearly the entire Russian Navy in the Great War necessitating the safeguarding of the Soviet against the growing navies of the states which openly proclaim a struggle against Russia.
