SCOPE OF NAVAL TREATY
JAPAN SEEKS MODIFICATION United Press Association—By Eleowie Telegraph—Conyright (Received December 28, 1 a.m.) NEW YORK, December 27. The Tokio correspondent of “The New York Times” rejorts that the newspaper "Asahi” states that Japan is not prepared to renew Article 19 of the Washington Treaty in regard to fortifications in the Pacific. Japan desires a new agreement, adapted to the changed conditions. This will be the substance of Japan’s reply to Britain in which she will point out that the treaty forbids Japan to fortify islands outside 500 miles of her shores, but allows the United States to fortify Hawaii 2400 miles distant. There has also been technical improvement smee 1922, enormously enlarging the striking power of fleets, thus making the Article unreasonable.
