London, Feb. 5, Mr. Herschel Johnson, United States Charge d'Affaires here, called on the Foreign Office to-day, it is thought in order to settle the final details for the publication of the Anglo-American demarches to Tokyo dealing with naval limitation:
Great Britain's move is unreservedly approved fu political circles here, who feared that the British navy might be faced with a fait accompli.
Observers here stated to-day t Japan should find no difficulty undertaking her obligations as requested by Great Britain if her repeated denials concerning the construction of heavy naval units are based on reality If not, it is deemed certain that Britain will immediately start building warships exceeding the limits of the London Naval Treaty of 1936.
With regard to the French note to Tokyo. observers declared that preliminary conversations showed that it was drafted on the lines of the British and American demarches, but at the same time it is thought natural that the French attitude will not be fbsolutely identical with that of Great Britain and the United States owing to France's smaller interests in the —Havas.
