NICARAGUAN CANAL
JAPANESE OPPOSITION
A MILITARY OBJECTIVE
’ TOKIO, Dee. 1/. The spokesman of the Foreign Office says:—“We consider the advocacy by the chairman of the Naval Coinmillee of the American House of Representatives, Mr C. Vinson, of a canal in Nicaragua, is most untimely in view of the delicate state of London naval conversations.
“The Panama Canal is sufficient for commercial purposes, and it. is, therefore, evident that the Nicaragua proposal is for military purposes. It reveals that America lias not given up her Caribbean policy. Americans may think they intimidate Japan by such threats, but the repercussion here is just the opposite. In, the meantime, we' are continuing ’our efforts to reach an agreement for curtailing armaments. ’ ’
