To define as narrowly as might be prudent his conception of what constitutes "adequate preparedness" he declared: "That preparedness must not exceed the barest necessity for defense or it becomes a threat of aggression against others and thus a cause of fear and animosity...
Tokyo. Japan's Naval Minister, suave Admiral Takeshi Takarabe, told correspondents in Tokyo with polite circumlocution that he considered the Anglo-U.

...observed: "It will still require a considerable period of hard work before an agreement ... is reached." An impression lingered that the Prime Minister had embarrassed the President by flaunting the fact that at the Five-Power Naval Conference (of which Mr. Hoover approves) it may happen that the whole Anglo-U. S. naval accord will be thrown into just the sort of European squabbling-pot so distasteful to most U. S. Senators...
