JAPAN’S HOPES
EXPECTS FIVE-POWER AGREEMENT SILENT ABOUT SINGAPORE United T*. A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Red. 12.50 p.m. LONDON, Friday. Mr. R. Wakatsuki, former Prime Minister of Japan, and a delegate to the Five Power Naval Conference, in a statement, said Japan did not intend raising the question of the Singapore naval base at the forthcoming naval conference. He did not favour the abolition of submarines, which were regarded as a weapon of defence, although he expected that the limitation of certain types would be discussed. Asked whether Japan would agree to a three-Power or four-Power arrangement if a five-Power pact were not reached, Mr. Wakatsuki said Japan came to negotiate with the four other Powers, and expected a fivePower pact as a result.
