Bride ices centered with cherries were served by Miss Ruby Marlowe and Miss Hazel McKeeL t ? r Looking at Washington (Continued from Pace One) plains the abrogation of the treaties limiting the navies of the world. Under the Treaty of London, the Japanese fleet was limited to a ratio which would not be sufficient to establish Japanese supremacy in the Far East and to maintain it if assail* ed by a combination of two or more powers. The Japanese apparently in tend to build their navy to a strength sufficient to prevent the United States and Great Britain from being able to successfully challenge their course in the Far East As a matter of fact when the pres ent policy in China was beginning to unfold and the military domina tion of China begun, Japanese offi cials, in the words of a correspond ent, had one eye on China and the other on the navy of the United States. The Japanese believed that the British and French fleets were pinned to European waters and that the Russian Army was too paralyzed from its liquidation to interfere with the Chinese venture. However, the Japanese knew well that the United States fleet, representing probably the most powerful navy in its his tory, was in splendid condition and that it was stationed in the harbors of American Pacific ports. The Jap anese were concerned lest Washing ton adopt a strong policy against Japanese aggression in China and feared that the British might open its new naval base at Singapore to the American fleet which would there be able to threaten Japan's right to do as she pleased with China. Naturally, the Japanese are very much gratified that the United States has not embarked on a policy of determined resistance to Japanese aims and' that efforts to create a joint front against Japan have fail ed at Geneva and at Brussels. This is undoubtedly reflected in the re cent statement of Adminal Tadao Honda, who says, "If Japan had not gained anything else important in this undeclared war with China, the struggle would have been worth its cost because of the clarification of Japanese-American relations and the banishment?which I hope is per manent?of dangerous distrust and suspicious." ? . The Italian newspaper printed its article simultaneously with the an nouncement of the conclusion of an anti-Communist agreement between Italy and Japan. It predicts that in 1941, when the United States has achieved the limits of the discarded TVeaty of London, the Japanese fleet will include twelve capital ships, five with 16-inch guns; ten or eleven car riers, rive with flight decks; twbve heavy cruisers;^ light eruisen; 155 destroyers and* 66 submarines. It is interesting to recall that the London Naval Treaty limited the size of capital sips to 35,000 tons and the size of gxmz to fourteen inches. When Japan refused to adhere to this limitation, the United States, acting under the Treaty's terms, an nounced that its new $60,000,000-hat tleships, the North Carolina and the Washington, would be armed with 16-inch guns. Apparently, Great , Britain is adhering to the 35-000 ton, 14-inch gun limits. The British now have rive battleships under con struction and plan to build four or five more. The American naval pro gram is governed by the Vinson ' Trammell Act which provides for a Navy up to the Treaty limits. The present program calls for the reten ' tkm of our fifteen battleships and for the laying of two more each fis cal year during the next three yearn, in addition to the two now-about to i begin. In other words, in. the face of semi-official confirmation of the 46-000-ton Japanese ships and the knowledge that Great Britain will have seven or right sries construc tion before 1938 ends, no change in our building plan haa been, announc ed. fj&!. - ? 1 In view of developments in the ' Far East, it is evident that the Unit 1 ed States tmd athee Western nations arefaeed with the aeceaaiQr.of nafc falg a grave tefakaas to the future policy. ' Whatever rights beipng to this country under the internatlonat law and treatiaa n regards, to com mence with China, must beegrefuHy balanced against the prospective coat example, is tiie interest or tne unit ed States worth a possible war with Japan, even if this country acts in concert with Great Britain and other nations in asserting its rights? Then there is the largest question, involv ing the future relationship between the democracies of the world and the allied dictator group which involve conclusions which must, of necessity, be based upon opinions as to the future. Whether Japan, Italy and Germany will become satisfied with present achievements or whether their demands will feed upon their successes is a question which no one can positively answer. However, the course of the United States, par ticularly the strength of its navy, must be based upon an assumed answer in regard to the future ag gressiveness of this group and par ticularly Japan.
