Without consulting Premier Viscount Makato Saito or obtaining the consent of the civilian Cabinet, Militarist Araki called in correspondents and proposed that Japan hold in 1935 a Pacific Powers Conference with three objectives: 1) "To revise the Nine-Power Treaty" (signed at Washington to guarantee the territorial and administrative integrity of China which Japan violated by seizing Manchukuo). 2) "To revise the Kellogg Peace Pact" (violated in effect by Japan's waging of undeclared war). 3) "To lay the basis for a new naval treaty...
...Premier of Japan's dinner party in your issue of July 31, is absurdly incorrect. The account gives a lurid picture of nervous excitement here in Tokyo which we who live here do not recognize.

After grim days of extreme alarm, with police guarding banks, major business offices, electric power stations and waterworks, tension relaxed sufficiently for Premier Saito to give a party. Out of their limousine stepped U. S. Ambassador & Mrs. Joseph Clark Grew, he a trifle lame and slightly deaf. Just as they reached the Premier's door bedlam broke loose. Japanese police with drawn pistols surrounded the Grews. Others brandished swords and screeched. "These people...
