To INSIST ON
No BIG Ships
IN TEN YEARS
CONTINUED From Page onel


visers believe SO per cent. cut in
this respect is too drastic.
The views OF the American dele
gates on the British reservations to
Secretary Hughes sweeping program
for naval armament limitation we're
obtained from most authoritative
sources.
The American delegates have de-
termined that to insure a binding
Limitation of armament It is impera-
tive that the ten year holiday during
which time no capital ships would
be constructed should be observed
strictly.
The fear is that the British pro-
posal for building one big ship a
year might jeoparadize the agree
ment for limitation. 1t might be-
come easy to lapse back into the
practice Of building more ships, with
possible resultant friction between
the powers.
Americas delegates also believe
that a complete holiday would have
a great moral effect on the world
and might make possible after the
ten year period a greater cut in
navies than is now proposed.
The, American advisory council, it
was learned today, has informally
discussed the British reservations
and is prepared to recommend
against any back sliding" on the
naval holiday The council is
unanimous in this respect, it was
said.
The belief in American quarters
is that Great Britain will not insist
on keeping a few shipyards for the
construction OF capital ships during
the proposed holiday. American del
egates have noted that the British
liberal press is attacking Arthur Bel
four for making this British reserva-
tion.
American advisors do not believe
IL will be difficult to resume the re-
placement OF capital ships after ten
years. if none are built during that
period. 1t was pointed out that
yards which would be kept in opera
tion to build big passenger liners
and freighters and the smaller naval
craft could. be made available
without any great delay. for con-
strucung dreadnau ghts after ten
years.
The cost to the nations for con
version after the holiday would be
less than II some yards we're kept
open for this specific purpose. The
/ United States has no desire to build
huge submarines such as Germany
employed during the war for often
sive purposes but naval advisors be-
lieve this country's position as to un-
dersea craft Is somewhat different
than Britain.
The United States. It was said
wants submarines Tor defense only
but with its coast line much greater
than the British Isles. naval expert,
think the American proposal for g
tonnage OF 10000 is not excessive
At present the American tonnage
is in excess Of 100000 tons.

Il s; 70 OPPOSE
Any CHANGE IN
ORIGINAL PLAN
Admission of Amendments
Would Invite Return to
Armament Race
CAREFULLY DRAWN
Secretary Hughes and Associates Ob-
ject to Any Modification In FRO
gram.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Vigorous
opposition, it became known tonight,
will be made by the United States
Government against any proposal
looking to a modification of the naval
tonnage ratio laid down in the Hughes
proposal.
twill oppose any proposition from
Japan intended to secure Tor thal
country a larger representation IMAM
GO ner cent. of the naval strength
which the Hughes program lays down
for the United States and Great Brit
ain.
With equal determination it will re-
sist all British suggestions tnat the
proposed 10-year naval holiday De
extent or that theS amount OF sub
marine tonnage allowed the several
powers be reduced.
Such is the outline of the American
position that came last night from
sources not to be questioned. and in
the effect has been to put all Wash
ington on edge for the assembling
Monday Of the third open session OF
the Conference.
1t was explained that before the
limited States would consent to any
modification whatsoever OF the dras--
tic scheme of naval reduction which
Mr.. Hughes sprung upon the Confer
ence at it's opening session, TINS
country must first be convinced that
the changes proposed are reasonable;
And it was made plain IN ofhclai
quarters that the American dele
gates are not convinced that the
amendments suggested thus far are
either reasonable or expedient. In a
word America at this hour is stand
ing pat.
Moreover, it will be emphasized that
the Hughes program was most care
fully considered in advance of its pre-
sentation, with due regard for what
this country regards as the maxlipum
needs of the three big naval powers.
To open up the scheme to amendment
would, in the opinion of those IN
charge of the American case, be sim
DIV SltillS q IL ~ Wv ~-NASS
ing order of competitive building.
So far as the American Congress
is concerned, the Administration is
apparently convinced that the ar
rangement it is seeking to put; into
effect will have the full support of
that body, which, the Presidents ad-
visers feel, will sanction any rea-
sonable program for a limitation of
naval armament.
Whether Mr. Hughes will take oc-
casion to bring this question of sug-
eestion notifications to the front on
Monday remains to be seen. Generally
it is recognized that Mondays session
belongs to France, owing to the sche-
duled early departure of Premier
BRAND, Acting upon this assumption
the head of the French delegation has
already prepared himself to lay
Frances cards on the table.
