‘IOKYO, Jan. 3l.—'I'he Jspanes diet was informed today that ne\ Japanese auxiliary vessels will out rank those of the United States by 1931 and that i1’ navy men of the two nations dictate policies in a coming navy conference "a rupture would be inevitable."

Kenklchi Yoshizuwa, former For- eign Minister, told the House of Peers that “intensified naval mm- petitlon, even if war is averted" will result from the domination of the. i035 navy parley by navy men, “if tths pessimlsts’ view is accepted"

Abandon Parley

“In view of these dangers," he declared, “perhaps it would be bet- ter to abandon the conference a!-‘ together unless preliminary negotia- dons should show the possibilities of an agreement."

Admiral lvlineo Osumi, Minister of the Navy, presented statistics to the diet showing, he said, that at the end of 1086 Japan will have 140 under-age cruisers, destroyers, and subm sssul pared to 100 such craft in the United States navy.

He added that, if present plans ire fulfilled, the Japanese auxiliary ‘Ieet will be under the treaty age and within 2,791 tons of the present meaty limits in three years. t

Foreign Minister Koiai Hlrota gen- orally agreed with Yoshlzawah views.

Powers Study

Proposal To End Deadlock

Effort Made "f2? Bridge German Equality Claim And The In- sistence Of France On Security.

(C. P. Cable By Guardlarfa Special Wire) . LONDON, Jan, iii-Hopes for a way out of the presdt

deadlock in efforts towards limitation and reduction of vorld armaments were revived tonight by publication of a evised British disarmament plus, now being studied by ‘re principal powers concerned.

Stepping into the breach existing since Germany aband- med the disarmament conference and the League, the United Kingdom called for adherence to a concrete 10 year plan of actual disarmament, recognition of Germany's claim to equality in arms, and acceptance of further and»

ity proposals. The Plan

The plan, circulated to principal governments in the form of a andum, definitely aims at satisfying Germany's claim for equality and thereby bringing hed- back into the arms conference and .he uague of Nations.

The memorandum was seen as an attempt to bridge the gap be- .ween the Hitler equality claim and Lmistence of France on security. It said:

"The object government in 1v- ulating these proposals and pruenting them for consideration is not to describe the terms of an agreement which they themselves would most desire with- out regard for the claims or needs 0i 031th. but to yropound a basis for compromise on which it would epoch-l‘ in the present circum- stances a I agreement could and should now be reached."

The loo-ton auxiliary craft was caught in the trough of sullen seas that swept her decks and pitched the wallowing vessel until the fore- mast mapped and crashed wildly to the stern. with each violent movsmmt of the ship the spar,

the seas as the heaviest he had asen off the Nova Sootia coast.

The heavily-armed powers are urged to abandon certain classes of weapons. It is pointed out that Chancellor Adolf Hitler has de- ciared Germany voluntarily re- nounees any claim to “of- fensive" weapons arid limits herself to normal "defensive" weapons re- quired for the army with which she would be provided in the arms convention,

Declaring Chancellor Hitler ad- vanced this proposition on the as- sumption that heavily-armed states are not prepared to abandon under the convention any portion of their existing weapons, the sasnu" randum said:

Limitation of Anna

"His Majesty's Government, en- ‘irely unwilling to accept, this lssi smunptfon, must insist that thz miy agreement worthy of thr name disarmament convention wil be one which contains a reductior as well as a limitation of arms- merits,
