United States or any other country in a naval build-lnrace the Tokyo Jijl Shimpo which is particularly well informed on naval matters declared today The naval yards here are primed for a naval race and merely are waiting for a breakdown of the conference in London which is regarded as a foregone conclusion “The navy to make up the deficiencies of the Washington and London naval treaties launched its first and second replenishment programs and the emergency program of 1933 to construct auxiliary craft outside of the pact limit” said the newspaper "The work progresses exceedingly favorably most of the ships beingcompleted on or before schedule “Of 90 warships Aggregating 221000 tons which were planned only 22 have not been started Compared with the Vinson plan for 102 vessels which failed to progress smoothly the Japanese navy thus can well be proud of Its ship building' etnciency” Should a naval race begin in 1937 Japan will have completed the major portion of its construction program and be ready to accept a challenge with an edge over its rivals declared the Jijl This paper’s view generally reflect public confidence in the navy’ capacity to engage in a building race The public also does not seen unduly worried about how Japan is to meet the enormous expenditures in the eventuality of the U 8 starting to build in earnest believing that public sentiment in the U S b against a

Margin Shaky Victory on Foreign Policy Hints JNew Crisis Ahead Additional War New4 Page By Associated Press PARIS Dec 28— Premier Pierre Laval escaped political decapitation by a shaky victory In the chamber of deputies tonight on a promise to “uphold the League of Nations” in the war ’ Two votes of confidence were given the worried premier-statesma- n in one of the most critical periods of his long career The first was 296 to 278 and the second 304 8-- A Italo-Ethiopl- to 262 So harrow were these margins on a question of foreign policy that many deputies predicted a cabinet crisis still was ahead Ends Debates The votes ' ended two days of stormy and disorderly debate Leftists bitterly assailed Laval’s policies as and particularly his coauthorship of the now dead h peace plan But Laval escaped the fate which overcame the other sponsor of the plan Sir Samuel Hoare who was forced to resign as Great Britain’s foreign secretary The premier in a speech liberally filled with the “danger of war with Italy" if he were overthrown convinced the deputies to let him remain in office— at least until the budget is voted next week Guards Increased Heavy reinforcements of mobile guards on duty outside the old Bourbon palace in which the deputies meet were alert against possible disorders but yere not called into action The whole debate which found deputies near blows at times was conditioned on the fear of both friends and opponents of a future German invasion of France It was fully agreej that the danger exists the opposing sides differing only on whether Laval had slowed up sanctions thereby jeopardizing France’s chances of getting armed aid against Adolf Hitler’s troops in the future Hitler Answer The premier disclosed that Hitler in answer to a question from Laval had assured the French minister to Germany that the reich b “not considering any act of aggression” Fears were expressed by some deputies that Edouard Herriott and other radical socialist ministers might resign from the cabinet or that the cabinet might fall when the deputies resume a session January 14 after the New Year’s holiday The first vote was on a question of technical procedure The iecond which gave Laval an increased margin was on the question of confidence in the premier’s foreign policy itself It was a motion “approving the declarations of the government and expressing confidence in him (Laval) to pursue his work of conciliation international understanding and peace within the League of Nations covenant” Opponents charged Laval had failed to protect Austria against Germany in order to “flirt wjjli Hitler” pro-Itali- Anglo-Frenc- Facilities for 600 New Planes Which Will Be Delivered During l936 Board Launches Personnel Study Save for Depression --41 Undertaken to Provide
