Could so outrageous an ultimatum ever have been delivered? Incredulous, the Secretary of State decided to ask the Japanese Ambassador. At the Japanese Embassy delicious tea and convincing denials were served to Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan and Associated Press General Manager Melville Stone by bland Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Chinda. They came away apologetic, and President Stone cabled a thoroughgoing rebuke to Correspondent Moore-who had in fact obtained the scoop of the year, Japan's now famed Twenty-One Demands of 1915. After these demands proved authentic Secretary Bryan asked Ambassador Chinda...
...bespectacled Son of Heaven, signed his Privy Council's awful decision last week as the world's only other Emperor of consequence was polishing the London Naval parley off into oblivion. The delegates did their own adjourning, but for Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald, for Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira and for U. S. Ambassador Norman Hezekiah Davis the big moments last week were when each was called separately to Buckingham Palace. Each was questioned closely by George V, in his youth an active seadog, today primed with an amazing fund of naval knowledge and a still more amazing...
Early in the week Japanese correspondents in London embarrassed Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira by cabling to Tokyo that there was some hope for a 5-4-4 ratio. Japan, while demanding naval equality with the U. S., would apparently concede superiority to Britain, an arrangement sure to cause bad blood to boil between Washington and London.

Jittery with alarm, Ambassador Matsudaira in London...
...deadlocked London naval parley between Britain, the U. S. and Japan (TIME, Oct. 29), U. S. Ambassador Norman Hezekiah Davis last week worsted Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira two up at golf. There was no other progress. Said inflexible Japanese Chief Delegate Rear Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, broadcasting around the world to the Japanese people, "I am in no hurry. I will do my best to attain the Government's objectives and live up to Japan's expectations." These expectations: Britain and the U. S. shall accord Japan naval parity, scrapping the 5-5-3 ratio...
Blunt, hard-headed Walter Runciman. president of Britain's Board of Trade, called in Japan's Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira one day last week and gave him a strange ultimatum: Either the Japanese Government agree to divide the world's markets for cotton and silk cloth equably with Britain, or Britain would keep Japanese cloth out of Britain and its colonies by means of import quotas based on what Japan sold during the 1927-31 period. Ambassador Matsudaira passed the ultimatum on to his Government which presently sent back word that Japan wanted to think it over...
