Japan Keeps Mutsu and Blocks Pacific Fortifications
Washington reports Japan gains 6000 tons of capital ship strength by retaining the Mutsu and blocks U S plans to fortify Guam and base forces in the Philippines. The naval accord, negotiated by Hughes Balfour and Baron Kato, preserves status quo in the Pacific and avoids new American bases. The agreement also outlines French British naval limits and aims to cut costs on distant-water construction.
