WASHINGTON. Nov. 3O.-Experts
Of the Big Three" naval powers
agreed Wednesday that the could not
reach an accord on the basis OF cal
culation to be used in measuring
Japan's existing relative naval
sire myth.
They gave UP the task and turned
the problem back 70 their respective
delegations to the arms conference.
Upon its solution hangs the funda-
mental principle Of the American
naval limitation proposal, the "5-5-5
capital ship ratio"
The experts were substantially in
agreement as TO the accuracy Of
estimates Of naval strength of each
power originally submitted by the
American conference group if the
American plan Of including all ships
actually under construction in ar
irving at the ratio was followed.
The japanese experts however. in
sisted 10 the last that this was not
the proper basis of calculation, pro-
posing instead to disregard all ships
now between either power in de-
termining relative naval strength.
To Continue Discussion.
The plenary delegates of the two
powers will continue the discussion
from this point, illuminated for such
light as the studies Of the experts
have been able TO throw on the
technical questions involved.
Firm determination Of the Amer
lean delegation 10 insist upon the
SOB ratio and inclusion Of ships
building in any estimate Of naval
strength was reiterated Wednesday
night on authority. The purpose of
the Japanese delegation was not dis
closed.
Since no call for an executive ses-
sion OF the conference delegates or
for further meetings Of the experts
was issued, it was assumed an at
tempt to settle the point by inform
al interchange between the Ameri-
can and Japanese delegates them
selves was in progress and might
last several days.
There was a strong feeling in
American and British circles that

WORLD DIPLOMACY
SHARPEST ISSUE IS
BEFORE CONFERENCE
Celebrated Shantung Contro-
versy ReOpened- u. S.
and Britain Aid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Bring-
ing with 1t some Of the sharpest is
sues of world diplomacy, the cele-
brated Shantung controversy took
its place Wednesday at the arms
conference.
The result was an offer by the
United States and Great Britain, ac-
cepted promptly by Japan and
China, to assume the role Of friendly
advisers in a new attempt TO solve
the problem and end the long and
bitter debate that has swept over
three continents.
The plan for an exercise Of Ameri-
can and British good offices" is un-
derstood to have originated with the
American delegation after it became
apparent that China had resolved to
raise the question i'm the conference

Chinese delegates announced We'd
nesday they would go into the dis
cussions prepared to accept nothing
less than unconditional withdrawal
OF the japanese claims in Shantung.
The attitude of Japan was not set
forth so explicitly but it was as
sumed the japanese spokesman
would contend for the reservations
insisted on in the recent diplomatic
exchange between Toxic and Pekin.
The advent of the Shunting Ques-
tions at the council table followed
on the heels Of a debate on the gen
eral subject of maintaining foreign
troops within the Chinese borders,
which in itself had brought the con
ference 20 a consideration Of some
Of the serious factors in Chino-Jap-
anese relations. Speaking for Jap
an, Vice Foreign Minister Hanihara
declared withdrawal Of the Jap
anese troops from several parts Of
China outside Shantung must await
definite assurances that the Chinese
authorities would take more efec-
tive steps to maintain order.
Al hankoW, Said the japanese del
egate, repeated disorders had justi-
fed Japan in keeping her troops
where they are now stationed. He
declared the Garrisons in North
China were remaining under specific
protocol and that these along the
Chinese railway were acting under
the inter-alied agreement Of 1919.
As the result OF the discussion. the
conference postponed its decision
until its meet Monday or Friday.
Among the American delegates
