WASHINGTON, Nov.
2S.--The Washington con-
ference is approaching its
first great decision.
Ii was announced Mon
day night by Vice Admiral
Kato, chief Japanese naval
expert, that Japan seeks a
20 percent ratio. At the
same time IT was announced
with equal authority that
the American delegation
stoo d firmly on Sec'y
Hughes 1858" ratio pro-
posaI, which means a 60
percent status for Japan.
The conference ultimately
must reconcile these two
views or accept one or the
other to reach agreement
on naval limitations.
Vice Admiral Kato said
the 20 percent ratio was the
minimum necessary for Jap
anese security.
The American view is
that go percent for Japan
is the maximum naval
strength that could be &C
cepted in view of Amer
lean liabilities in the Pa
cihc.
