President Wilson wanted the greatest navy in the world and we were building it when he went out of office." "> QUESTION OF LIMITATION WASHINGTON, October 18. (Received Oct. 20, at 8 p.m.) Baron Saito delivered to the _ State Department a memorandum which is identical with one Japan presented in London outlining Japan's vi«»ws in ref rence to naval limitation, which leaves the matter open for furthor negotiations.
