NAVAL PARITY
JAPANS DETERMINATION
LLOYD GEORGE’S WARNING
PROBLEM OF PACIFIC
(Rcc. Jan. 7. 1.1.30 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 0. Air. Lloyd George, in an article in the Sunday Pictorial, says: “Japan’s determination to win naval parity was unalterably fixed before her delegates left for England. America's opposition to the Japanese claim was equally deep-rooted. We ceased to associate firmness and clarity with the British foreign policy, but the public assumed that the Government would align itself with America in resisting the Japanese policy. “There will be no agreement until the Powers completely change thenpolicy in handling Pacific questions. Japan means to attain parity in fact and would prefer its attainment by a reduction of her rivals’ strength. If Britain and .America do’ no' agree .Japan will not. hesitate to build to the limit of equality. “Britain and America should agree on a common policy in the Pacific, thus avoiding a building race; which would stampede the nations towards a catastrophe.”
