NAVAL REDUCTIONS BUT SECURITY MUST REMAIN
-By Telegraph — Oopyrigtit).
Rec. Dec. 6, 8.15 p.m. Geneva, Dec. 6. The Japanese naval disarmament plan submitted to the four Powers, confidently suggests that naval reductions must respect the geographical situation of each eountry, and not destroy the feeling of security of the eountry. Powers with superior naval forces must reduce proportionajtely more than Powers with similar navies. The l maximum tonnage of cruisers should "be reduced, but eight inch guns should be retained on cruisers. It is suggested that Great Britain, the TJnited States, France, Italy and Japan shall fix the maximum tonnages of small cruisers, destroyers and other similar craft united to the actual amount of tonnage each navy shall represent. For this purpose, the nations of the world will be divided into such units as the Pacific, Altantic Ocean, European waters, South American waters, etc.
