Tokyo: A new complication emerges in Japan’s approval
of the London Naval Treaty -- members of the Privy Council, the high-level
advisory body to the Emperor, say they won’t approve the treaty until the
navy’s officers do. Considering the rate
at which naval officers have been resigning in protest over the treaty, this
would seem to be deal breaker. Admiral
Takarabe Takeshi, Minister of the Navy, says he thinks he can patch up the
disagreement.
Rome: Making good on its earlier commitment to
increase defense spending, the government institutes a new 1.5% sales tax across
the board.
