DISARMAMENT.
JAPAN URGED TO LEAD. By Telegraph. - -Press Assn.—Copyright. Tokio, Jan. 12. The newspapers are discussing disarmament proposals. The Jiji Shimas urges the Government not to wait for a lead from other nations, but boldly to make proposals. It says that Japan as a great Power is bound to exert herself, not only in the interests of the world at large, but also in the highest self-interest, for one-half of her total national expenditure is devoted to armaments. It suggests that the army be reduced one-half, thereby setting an example to the world and removing the suspicion entertained against her. The Kokumin Shimbun says that America is taking the lead in the movement, while Britain and Japan are silent. If America is anxious over the situation the best she can do is to join the League of Nations.—-Aus.-<N.Z. Cable Assn.
