DISARMAMENT
EAR EASTERN QUESTIONS. AMERICAN PROPOSALS* JAPAN SUSPICIOUS. Press Aisooiation-r-By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, August 11. The Morning Post's corespondent says that a study of the Japanese vernacular press indicates a suspicious attitude towards the Washington Conference since Senator Knox tried to internationalise the Manchurian railway. Japan will not accept the American proposals without the most careful investigation. Japan realises that without the assistance of Western finance she could not have prosecuted past wars, and this fact is making her cautious, as in her future defence she may possibly be squeezed by Western finance. She regards President Harding’s proposal- as a new move in the control of Asia which will decide the fate of the Pacific natives as far as occidentals are concerned. She is afraid of being drawn into a new combination of powers which may possibly menace her long cherished independence.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
