NAVAL TREATY.
JAPAN DENIES BREACH. REDUCED PROGRAMME. DETAILS OE NEW SHIPS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 4, 9.30 p.m. Tokio, July 4. The Admiralty has issued a statement denying the report (probably based on a comparison of naval programmes, cabled last month) that Japan is evading the Naval Treaty by increasing the construction of auxiliary vessels. Japan intends to build only four cruisers of 10,000 tons each; four of 7000 tons each; 24 firstclass destroyers of an aggregate tonnage of 33,000 tons, and 24 submarines of an aggregate tonnage of 28,166 tons. This represents a reduction of 13,935 gross tonnage on the original 1921 programme. Twelve thousand naval officers will be dropped, and it is announced that Port Arthur will be abandoned as a naval port. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
