AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
JAPAN’S GREATEST MENACE CITIES WITHIN EASY REACH. LONDON, October 31. Mr Hector Bywater, the Daily Telegraph’s naval expert, has received information from a reliable source that Japan is ready' to scrap all her submarines, provided that the other Powers will follow suit. Aircraft carriers, which would also be abolished, are regarded as the greatest menace to Japan, since most of her crowded cities lie within easy reach of enemy aircraft. Most ot her buildings are too flimsy to withstand bombs. ABOLITION OP SUBMARINES. JAPAN NOT FAVOURABLE. TOKIO, November 1. (Received Nov. 1, at 11 p.m.) Official circles disagree with London’s suggestion that Japan would favour the abolition of submarines, which naval men consider necessary for the country’s defence, but she would approve of international prohibition of aircraft carriers capable of distant attack.
