Americans Declare They Will Not Accept kato Proposal
 As Formally Rendered

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. - By the Associated Press.) - Great Britain, as the ally of Japan. is using her in- fluence to bring Japanese views in the naval Gatio dispute into harmony with those of the United states.
 With this development, Japanese plenipotenAaries again have submit ted the question to Tokio.
 The nature of the latest move for 6 solution of the ratio problam is not disclosed but it is indicated that Great Britain has found a double ln- terest in the success of the negOtia- tions, because she has accepted in principle the American 5-5-3 proposal and because, on the other hand, she is in alliance with Japan, who asks tor ratio of 10-10-7.
 Deadlock Is DenIed
 All principals on both sides refused 1 tonight to recognize the. situation as a deadlock. The American delegates it was said authoruitatively, were even declining to regard Baron Kato's proposal for an increased Japanese strengtfr as q formal presentation Of | the Japanese viewpoint They were confident it. was declaretb Ahat the 10-10-7 proportion would be abandon ed before Japan's iInal statement of position is placed before the confer 1 cnce.
 It is apparent that if t:le proposal of the Japanese statesmen is not to be regarded as formal, the reason lies ir the fact that it was not passed across the, table, at a formal session Of the conference or any Of its sub divisions.
 Baron Kato's request for an in- crease over the American ratio was communicated to Secretary Hughes andA J. Balfour at meeting ot the three Tuesday. In reiaiing his gov elnment's position, the Japanese pfen- [ ipotentiary touched on the reasons which impelled him to make the re
