...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 vocabulary of naval...
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.

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...
...London worried Ambassador Davis went around to ask bland, poker-faced Japanese Ambassador Tsune Matsudaira just what Japan now wants. She is known to want naval parity with Britain and the U. S. but her want thus far has been made known by Tokyo statesmen in statements provokingly unofficial. To provoke Mr. Davis is impossible.
