NAVAL TREATIES
JAPAN FEELS RESTRICTIONS A MINISTER’S ADVICE (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) TOKIO, May 9. (Received May 9, at 11.30 p.m.) Addressing the prefectural governors, Admiral Osumi, Minister of the Navy, said that a complicated situation would arise at the 1935 Naval Conference, which, coupled with the way the Powers were arming themselves, especially preparations in the Far East, was accentuating Japan's future difficulties. “ Onr navy at the utmost was attempting to make national defence secure. The forthcoming conference not only concerns the navy but vitally affects national destiny, for which reason we must grasp the opportunity to free ourselves of the restrictions of naval treaties and take measures to ensure our security in conformity with the new international situation, to which end the people’s firm determination is essential.”
