Title Card: "Here's Japan's Navy Case. Washington - Ambassador Saito attacks 5-5-3 ratio, asking 'more responsible' basis! Assails tendency to treat Nippon as 'spoiled child'." / MS Hiroshi Saito, Japanese Ambassador to the United States, seated / MS Hiroshi Saito, seated, with cigarette in hand / CU Saito seated / MS Saito SOT: "Japan can not give up her claim for equality in the Navy. Japan is therefore going to give notice of her intention to terminate the Washington Treaty of 1922. It is sometime argued by the American people and by some other foreigners that Japan is a spoiled child who may go astray any moment." "We are proposing that capital ships, aircraft carriers should be totally abolished. Japan is proposing to slash her navy which stands at 800,000 tons and a half. It is heaven-ordained, to my mind, that Japan and the United States should always work together in the interests of peace in the Pacific. There is every reason for us to be good friends and none whatever to be at loggerheads." / Note: exact day not known
