JAPAN, Kl'LKR OF lMCIl^C
(New York Herald Tribune)
A world hardened to seeing Ja
pan plunge ahead unrestrained on
a course o( militarism and expan
sion is but little surprised to rea l
that the Jananese minister of the
navy has made a speech demand
ing for Japan a navy second to
none. This Implies, of course, the
scrapping of the treaties signed a*
Washington and London for the
limitation of naval armaments.
That, in turn, means the abroga
tion of the other treaties design
ed to preserve the peace in the
Pacific.
The tragedy in such an attitude
ia two fold. It lies in the blow at
world co-operation for peace which
this gesture involves, and it exists
in the futility of Japan’s demands
unless she is bent on extending her
political sway over China, the
Philippines and ultimately over
India. This latter policy, while
undoubtedly dreamed of by a
small group of miliatoristic im
M
perialists, can not yet be taken
seriously by thoughtful observers.
Under the circumstances, the de
mand for a navy equal to that of
the United States and Britain is
%
untenable. Neither the American
nor the British fleet could expect
to operate successfully in Western
Pacific waters under the existing
dispositions. If, therefore, Japan’s
fleet is to be increased by 40 per
cent with respect to Britain and j
the United States. Japan will not
only be able to dominate Eastern
Asia but to extend her dominions j

to Australia or India. In view of
the temper .of her leaders during
the 'a8t few ye*™, no peace-loving
person can view without distress
such an enlargement of the Ja
panese fleet.
A naval understanding between
the United States and the Brittlsh
Commonwealth of Nations becomes
the obvious alternative. If Japan
persists in her course of aggressive
militarism she may force some
sort of an agreement between, the
two other major Pacific powers, a'
least in so far as the preservation
of peace in the Pacific is concern
ed. Neither Britain nor the Unit
ed States is likely to favor aban
doning the thesis of limitation of
naval armaments. Both are op
posed to a large increase in Ja
pan's ration. The implication Is
obvious.

“PRIVATE LIVES" TO
OPEN AT DREAM
The screen version of “Private
Lives,” Noel Coward’s smart com
edy which delighted Manhattan
audiences during the past theatri
cal season, will open tonight at
the Dream Theatre. Norma Shear
er and Robert Montgomery are co
starred in the production in the
roles played in- the Broadway ver
sion by Noel Coward and Gertrude
Lawrence. Prominent supporting
roles are filled by Reginald Den- ,
ny, Una Merkel, Jean Hersholt, and j
George Davis.
This delicious farce, which de- •
pends almost as much for its
humor ^nn Its, amusing dialogue as
its riotous action, concerns the di
verting complications which arise
when a divorced couple make
another try-at marriage with fresh
partners and And themselves shar
ing adjoining suites on their sec
ond honeymoons.
Rough-hous,, Action
A good share of the action is
taken up in fights between the re
spective husbands and spouses.
These are' by no means restricted
to verbal battle and a# a conse
quence movie patrons will be
treated to the unusual sight of
viewing Miss Shearer and Mont
gomery wrestling with each other,
rolling around 'brf the floor and
hitting each other over the head
with victrolla records. Miss Mer
kel and Denny, likewise, are given
opportunities at the gentle art of
hurling crockery as well as the
most appalling epithets. The
whole thing is done in the engag
ing satirical vein for which
Noel Coward is famous.
