'( Tr,ade Treaty Is
Concluded Between
Japan and Abyssinia
A treaty of co mrner-ce was for~
mally concluded between Japan
and Abyssinia on June 21 at Agi~
sabeba, a report being received at
the Foreign Office Friday af~el'~
noon from Japanese Minister
Mushakoji to Roumania, who
signed the Treaty on behalf of
the Imperial Government. Abys~
sirua is the only independent
state in Africa, with a po p ul atio n
of about 13,000,000. Being an
Empire with a national history of
fully three thousand years, Abys~
sinia closely resembles Japan and
has had commercial relations
with almost all European coun~
tries by means of treaties. A very
large quan.tity of cotton tissue, is
ba:ilg imported to this Afri"can
Empire from Japan through
European merchants. The concl usion of a co mmer-c ial treaty
between the twa countries fill
asaist the development of direct
cr ade relations a great deal.

Says Britain Is Not After Any
Special Advantage in
Conference
GENEVA, June 24-(Rengo)-Con~
versing with correspondents, Mr. W.
C, Bridgeman, British First Lord of
the Admiralty, said:'''liVe are not here to obtain any
special advantage for ourselves, but
we are making progress in finding
common ground. Discussions have
cleared up son- 0 difficulties and very
much diminished others, and if by
any means we manage to stop the
pre-war competition in naval arma~
ments, great progr-ess will have been
realised.
"In the question of the extreme
life of battleships, there ought to be
u large measur-e of agreement, for
we are in no way reversing the prin~
ciples laid down at the \Vashington
Conference. What we want is an
agreement between the three Powers
concerned that they will observe cer~
tain conditions.
"We are rather pleased at the way
in which things are being cleared up."

Continuing, Mr. Bridgeman said!

and if we are to abolish the race in
The controversy over the rescue
of the Kawasaki Dockyard reached
a climax this morning, almost all
leading journals being editorially
opposed to the Government program I
to employ the people's money fo!'
the purpose.
On Friday Dr. Eijiro Orio, presi- \ '---------------~-~
dent of the Industrial Bank called ]
on the Minister of Finance and re~
fused to allow the Government to
borrow the 3D,GOO,OOO y-en needed
from the Industrial Bank for the
rescue of the Kawasaki Dockyard
unless the Ministry took fun res~
ponsibility for payment in case of
1081;;. The Finance Minister was not
willing to accept such responsibility,
and M1'. J'un noauke Innouye, Gover~
nor of the Bank of Japan, has been
asked to mediate between th~ Gov~
crrimen t and the Industrial.Barik.
The oppoai ti on of tho pr-ess is
based on Article LXIV of the Im~
perial Constitution, which reads as
f o ll 0 \'\-5: "Anv and all expenditures
beyond the appropriations s-et forth
in the Titles and Paragraphs of the
Budget, or that are not provided "for
in the Budget, shall subsequently re~
quire the approbation of the Imperial
Diet."
Entirely Unlawful
"When will the public find a sense
of reslwnsibility in the Go ver n~
ment?" aaks the.Hoch i, "if it is
allowed to go on with the unlawful
employment or the people's money."
The journal then reminds the readcr
of many previous cases, of the
s~mi]arly unlawful character, from
which the Industrial Bank has b-een
the sufferer. The Bank was induced,
in the past, by the Goyernment to
assist, for instance, the Kousai
Steamship Company and the Japan
Paper Industry Company with large
loans, which are- not yet coli,ected.

Advance Made
GENEVA, June 24-(Rengo)-The
morning's resolution of the delegates
marks an important advance from
the technical standpoint as the work
will now be done before the now
Committee, instead of merely in pri~
vate conversations. This will ex~
pedite the business of the Conference.
Washington Pact
GENEVA, June 24-(Rengo)-.The
Associated Press correspondent here
has been informed that the Japanese
delegation has officially notified the
British delegation that re-opening of
the Wash ing'ton Agreement would
exceed the mandates of the present
Conference.
Britain's Views
GENEVA, June 24-(Rengo)Great Britain will accept parity with
the United States in 10,OOO-ton cruis~
ers, said Mr. VV. C. Bridgeman, First
Lord of the British Admiralty, to~
day, parity in other cruisers being
still under discussion. If the Brl~

10,OOO-ton cat.cgory 'would disappear

Points of View on
Proposals of Three
Countries Are Given
GENEVA, June 23-(Rengo)~
Following are points-oi-view re~
gat'ding the proposals of the
Three P_owers at the Naval Con~
ference:
1. The present Naval Conference aims solely at the sta~
bilisation of the naval forces con~
cerned.
2. AIr three Powers desire to
halt competitive ship-building.
3. The Japanese proposals in no
way seek to interfere with exist~
i ng Bri;tish or American naval
forces.
4. The American proposals
see'k t9 interfere with other
countries' existing naval forces.
5. The present strength of the
naval forces of the Three Powers
woul not be reduced by the adop~
tion of the American proposals.
6. The Conference is generally
called "Coolidge's Conference" and
has nothing to do with the League
of Nations.
7. The Japanese relation to the
Conference is quite' independent
and was in no way imposed upon
Japan.
S. M". Gibson, chief American
delegate, is inclined to consider
the Conference as an extension of
the Washington Conference, while
Admiral Saito, chief Japanese de~
legate, believes it to be a new
meeting to discuss naval ques~
t io ns with a view to the promo~
si o n of wor-ld-peace.
