ARMAMENTS QUESTION
WHAT AMERICA WANTS. EQUALITY WITH BRITAIN. SUPERIORITY TO JAPAN. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received February 7, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, February 6. The Times' Washington correspondent, reviewing the armaments' question, says that there is a strong public desire for reduction of armament expenditure, but the general expectation is that whatever arrangement is reached will, leave the United States on a parity with Britain, and much superior to Japan. The only doubtful point in the translation of this into actuality is the ultimate relative strengths of the British and American navies. The feeling at present is that (lie question of equality should at least be considered. If the United States foregoes the opportunity to have as powerful a navy as Britain, itwill be because she is assured of the impossibility of Britain giving Japan support, moral and physical, against her.
