HAWAII AN OBSTACLE
IN NNAVALRATIOP
L. s. Asserts Station Is Not an
Advanced Base, but Part
of American Defence.
Special Despatch to THE New YoaK HERALD.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3.
Japanese delegates to the arms con-
ference are informally discussing the
relationship OF naval bases in the Pacific
in connection with the acceptance of tho
naval ratio Of 5-5-3 proposed by Secre-
tary Hughes. That question is the STUN
bling block to formal acceptance by
Japan OF the naval ratio and Is proving
a difficult problem.
Reports that Japan has formally ac-
cepted the naval ratio proposal are not
credited, although there is no doubt that
the viewpoint OF the Toxic Government
has been made plain to it's delegates
here In the interchange OF views over the
cables, which appear to be suffering
from diplomatic congestion.
Connected with the discussion Of naval
bases which Japan has raised, is the
subject of the general understa nding as
To the Far East. which w II be included
in the final act" of the conference and
which will represent the entire structure
of its accomplishments.
Information on the subject Of this
plan is more general than that relating
% naval bases. Concerning the latter,
Japan takes the position that If she ac-
cepts the proposed ratio she must be
free in every respect from the danger
of attack, and Japanese advisers profess
to fear the growth of an Anglo-American
Entente after the abrogation of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, which is fore
gone conclusion If the conference is to
be a success.
The Hawaiian question furnishes q
bone OF contention in itself. While the
American delegation is maintaining an
attitude of complete silence on this SUBJ
ject it Is well known that American
technical advisers maintain that the
Hawaiian station is part of Americas
defence system, and is not to be placed
in the status of an advanced base"
Their viewpoint is that 1t Is essential
for the defence Of the Pacific coast and
for the Panama Canal and that the lat
ter is a world asset as well as an asset
OF the United States.

posal for making acceptance of the
naval agreement contingent upon the
settlement OF Far Eastern issues has
been made by the Japanese delegates.
and say none is expected.
The favorite occupation of delega-
tions. advisers and observers mas to do
with fascinating but unsubstantial
speculation as to the forms OF interna-
tional instruments to be employed. All
rules Of reason. logic and application
are invoked to prove that treaty will

France, Japan. the United States, and
possibly Italy. as these countries con-
stitute the five leading naval Powers
of the world.
Division OF opinion as to the methods
to be used In adjusting the interna-
tional aspects OF Far Eastern prob
lens roams far afleld. ranging from
a blanket proposal to be signed py al
Of the Powers holding interests In Asia
and the Pacific to individual treaties
negotiated between China on the one
hand and the other interested nations
on the other.
One guess as to the probable form
and scope of these treaties or under
standings Is as good as another be-
cause official discussion of them is de-
MED and the exacI trend toward final
conclusions guarded with the utmost
care.
That the machinery Of the confer
ence Is functioning efficiency was
pretty we'll established by develop
ments to-day. The Far Eastern COM
mittee and its subordinate bodies de-
voted several hours to discussing
various phases Of the Chinese puzzle
and the American delegates held a
protracted session this afternoon. The
former yielded substantial results
which were announced in COM
munique. but none was forthcoming
regarding the subjects, discussed and
the conclusions reached at the con-
ference of the representatives Of this
committee.
The most important decision at the
conference Of the Far Eastern COM
mittee was tho adoption Of q resolution
pledging all the countries represented
at the conference not to enter into
any treaties or agreements among
themselves tha, might impair tho

Reports sent TO China did not say
this. The result was that most of the
inhabitants of Pekin, Shanghai, Tien-
Tsin, Hankow and other large cities
abandoned their ordinary routine pur-
suits on Monday last, barbacued lo'
Of fat pigs and proceeded to express
disapproval of their delegates TO the
Washington conference in choice ORR
entail invectives which are not only
comprehensive. but highly offensive.
For the last day or two Chinese del
egates have been trying to convey
proper understanding to the minds OF
their critics. Latest advices from
China are to the effect that the ex-
element has slightly abated, but still
ferments and threatens TO break out
with increased vigor unless the dele
gates from that country fall in line
and satisfy the home demand for
scalps of their Japanese conferees.
The backfire from home has natu-
rally rendered the efforts of the Chi
nese delegates to reach a satisfactory
agreement with the japanese exceed
ingly difficult and to have practically
forced them into projecting the Shan
tung controversy into the conference
for final consideration.
The effect of the proposal to let
China run her own tariff system has
likewise caused considerable excite
ment among Japanese business men
who have exploited the Chinese mar
ket under conditions most favorable
and profitable to them for many years.
Japanese manufacturers and mer-
chants are apprehensive the Chinese
Government will erect custom barriers
that will pay off some of the old scores
against their country and lose them a
'ot Of trade not only in China proper
but in Manchuria, Mongolia and ST.
IBERIA. There seems to be some basis
for their apprehension on this score
If predictions from Chinese sources
are correct. American and European
delegates, while optimistic concerning
the ultimate results of their efforts to
put China on her feet, are constra ined
TO admit that there are many objects
in the way due to old animosities.
With the naval problem out OF the
way. they will move directly to COZ
'ANSi ehliOh VI e'ciIS oii tAiS az r~dol-
ern agenda. They believe they have
grounds for their optimism. Evidence
Of this is provided by the activities of
several important bankers and bust
ness men of Japan now in this coun-
try. These men have initiated discus
sion for a new consortium to provide
China with a stable financial system
md at the same time insure repay
ment Of the immense sums advanced
by Japanese interests to promote Chi
nese undertakings.

BIG FOUR ARE SILENT
AFTER TREATY TALK
Pacific Agreement and Japan's
Reply Likely Taken Up
at Conference.
BY RALPH COURTNEY.
Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALI.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3.


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3.
The first full meeting to discuss the
terms Of a proposed four Power treaty
Between America, Britain. France and
japan was held this afternoon in Wash
ington. Absolute silence is maintained
as to the results of this conference. and
even the fact that it took place is not
officially admitted by the delegates.
Mr. Baifour first paid a preliminary
visit to Secretary Hughes this afternoon
and subsequently all four heads of the
principal delegations met for general
discussion. Secretary Hughes attended
on behalf of America. Mr.. Balfour for
Britain, NJ. viviani for France and Ad-
iniral Kato for Japan
Presumably the big four not only dis
cussed the proposed Pacific treaty but
also the Japanese reply on the naval
ratio. 1t is understood that message
announcing the despatch Of this reply
rs well as a summary of its contents
has already reached Washington. al
though the full text was not expected
until late hour tonight.
Both England and Japan are under
stood fully to accept the principle OF
the four power treaty, but il seems that
their final signature depends on reach
Ing a satisfactory agreement concern
ing capital ships and also possibly sub
marines.
The French allow it to be understood
that they are favorably disposed toward
the treaty, but can take no definite
stand before reply has been received
from Paris. After M. Vivianfs inter-
view with Secretary Hughes yesterday,
when the proposed terms of the alliance
we're officially notified to the French,
long cable was sent to the French Gov
ernment. The Quai d'Orsay is now dis
cussing the matter and a reply is ex-
pected in Washington either tomorrow
or on Saturday at the latest.
The impression appears to exist in
conference circles that the four Power
agreement now under discussion is in
itself nothing more than kind OF arbi-
ira ation treaty, which is thought to be the
most acceptable to the Senate and some
thing on which all are likely to agree.
On the other hand, the Japanese reply
on the naval ratio is understood to be
not quite so satisfactory. A number
of details still remain to be unsettled,
but every possibility of an understanding
Is said now to exist.
