Japan went on record today as favoring a strict interdiction of the use of poi son gar In war. D. Matsuda. Jap anese delegate to the League of nations international conference for the control of traffic lit arms and munitions made this declara tion in a speech ardently support ing the proposal made yesterday by Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, head of the Ameri can delegation that all export of poison gas tor use in war be pro hibited. s . The American proposal was re ferred to two sub-committees, mil itary and judicial. The Polish amendment condemning the use of disease bacteria In warfare, was referred to the same committees. Mr. Matsuda said that Japan is already a party to the poison gas agreement made during the Wash ington arms conference and In pro hibiting the exportation of poison gas for war purposes It also should be understood that such methods of warfare are forbidden by Inter national law. He urged the legal committee to take up this aspect of the problem thoroughly. The Turkish delegation heartily supported the American proposal, but agreed with the-Hungarian del egation that the rights of states that do not manufacture gas to em ploy gas If they are bo attacked should be respected and their op portunity fordefense should not be removed by too rigid a ban on exportation. The San Salvador delegation offered an amendment providing that arms may be exported to any government "that has been duly constituted In accordance with the provisions of the constitution in forte In that country." This, It was Bald, is Intended to prevent civil strife by restricting the. facilities for securing war sup plies. The Chinese and Roumanian del egate opposed the amendment. The Chinese said It afforded an op portunity for discrimination be cause If any manufacturing coun try disliked a new government in any other country It could argue that it was unconstitutionally or ganized)) The Chinese said this would be dangerous to Internation al relations. Tho Roumanians de clared that the league covenant recognized the right of all coun tries to procure means of defense. CHICAGO. May 8.
