CONFERENCE EXPECTED JAPAN WILLING TO SEND A - REPRESENTATIVE. - SITUATION CALMER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.— CopvTurht. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 20, 11.20 p.m.) NEW YORK, January 19. - Tho United Press Tokio correspondent states that Japanese naval officials are expecting another armament con- ( ferenoe in Washington, and laying plans accordingly. Wild discussion followed reports that President Coolidge will call such a" conference within the year, and the Foreign Office will be prepared to send delegates with far greater freedom of action, than was thought possible at the time that Congress passed the Jap-, anes© Exclusion Act. 1 The political situation in Japan is much calmer in respect to the public attitude towards America and the jingoistic elements, for the moment at least, have gone into retirement. It is learned unofficially that naval officials expect the agenda of the .conference to include the limitation of gun elevation, and particularly the limitation of aerial forces. Japan has been led to believe that the United States, and England have an understanding regarding the size of their air forces, and is, therefore interested in the -French attitude. It is believed in Tokio that aerial competition exists between France and England.
