All cash markets were inclined to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.--A few
hours after the first session of the
Washington conference encountered
Secretary of State Hughes on the
street and remarked on the unmistak~
able success of the first step.
"lf it has been success said he,
"it is because we have been able to
present the delegates with fact
And this comment, l think, at one
time summarizes a policy and explains
an unmistakahle achievement.
A little later one of the most distin-
guished Of the visiting French journal
lists said to me;
'''The conference is to deal with the
limitation of arn,aments, not with the
Far Eastern question, as its main busi-
ness and that means that it Will be a
success, great success"
No one, think, can exaggerate the
favorable character OF the first impress
sion. This was due primarily, it. seems
to me, to the recognition that in taking
up the question of naval limitation and
III laying down certain very precise pro-
posals Mr.. Hughes opened tho one sub
ject on which agreement is almost GER
tain. This, moreover, is precisely the
of the various countries had been edu-
Gated to the point of demanding agree
mcnt.
Tacit Understanding Indicated
Corridor gossip suggests that there
may be British objection TO a program
as sweeping as that proposed yesterday,
but am satisfied that this is mis-
taken assumption, and that in reality
there has been measurable agreement
between our naval men and those Of
Britain in advance of the publication
CT the program.
In point of fact, find sound reason
for believing that presently we shall
have some form of public declaratio
which will so far to clarity the whole
Pacific question and even to weaken
American objection to the merely naval
aspects of the Anglo Japanese alliance.
This declaration, ] believe, will take
the form of statement of British pol
Ieicy in the Pacific. which will assist
greatly in elucidating the meaning of
the establishment of British naval
base at Singapore, which. so far has
remained obscure. 1t is a naval fact
that the Philippines are indefensible

Japan Interested in Bases
The ehief Japanese interest in the
American naval proposals, apparently
is not in the number of ships to be
scrapped or left, but in the naval bases
and military fortifications OF the
islands of the Pacific. particularly OF
Guam and the Philippines. The Jap
aness seem to think that with such
9orsifications. and especially if an ade-
qGate naval base should be established
at Guam or in the Philippines, they
would be strongly menaced.
Their cortention is the more inter
esting because Of the expressed belief
Of certain American naval experts,
notably Admiral Fi&ke. that the only
way to defend the Philippines in the
event of war would be by suhma rines
and airplanes, neither of which would
require either elaborate military forti-
fieations nor huge naval base. 1t is
also interesting in connection with the
view Of the group of naval officers hold
ing that the value of the big flghting
ship is stimated, that it would be
impossible for any American fleet to
operate in the Far East unless some
great naval base is established and
necessary arrangements for it's defense
made.
An even more radical view held by
some American naval experts is that it
would be practically impossible to send
a large feet OF battleships across the
Pacific in the event of war. This is OF
the contention that submarines and air
planes launched from swift airplane
carriers would whittle down the supply
train, if not the big 'ships themselves
before they ever got to the Philippines

at may he called drastic, ambitious
and farreaching," it adds. "but am-
bilious schemes arc often the easiest
to accomplish"
Remarking that logically tho ptopoe
sal ought to have followed, not pre-
coded, consideration of the questions of
policy. it continues: But logic in hui
man affairs is often poor guide, and
the United States was right in its de-
cision to-.rcverse the logical order of
the problems with which the con-
ference was summoned to deal
cerned, there is no reason why the
scheme should not be accepted without
qualification; so far as the period of a
decade is concerned, it offers to us in
fact more than we claim
The paper then claboratcs it's view
that adoption of the proposal would
leave Great Britain in very good po-
sition. and imasnes that the Admiralty
will accede readily enough. 1t then
discusses what it regards as the real
difficulty Of the scheme--namely. the
possible OppoSlttOH OF Japan and tho
certain opposition of the great arma-
ment firms.
"The Daily Express" says: "a val
iant,, it staggering, proposal-~it makes
Washington worth while and the con
ference alive; it brings an ideal to the
verge of practical politics.
"Of course, the proposay is full of
pitfalls, but bold policy is the only
one that can possibly bring results.
We may see the failure of agrandiose
conception, hut Mr.. Hughes has struck
high note. Who shall say that it
cannot be suaained?'
Rear Admiral Sir Percy Scott, former
commander Of the aerial defenses at
London and an avowed opponent of big
battleships, writing in the Times to,
day, remarks the main feature u Sec
retary Hughess proposal is whether
battleships are to be built or not.
81 regard advocates of wasting money
on battleships as lunatics," declares
Sir Percy. "Why is the country's purse
controlled by lunatics? For the ships
it proposes to build will cost one hun
dred million pounds. The government
say this will give employment, SO
would the building OF roads and OF
railways"
New-York tribune., 1921-11-14

The Journal" while approving the
American proposals set forth by Mr..
Hughes, says that the problem cop-
fronting the confefepce in this respect
is the attitude to be taken by Japan.
The Washington. conference com.
menccd with "a dramatic surprise" f"
says tho "Temps," which calls Mr..
Hughess plan Eat the same time def
mite and grand" :.
Some difficulties which the Temps
sees in the way of the plan are, firstly,
Of political nature; Great Britain
will have to ask herself IL the obstacles
she sees are also obstacles in the eyes
Of the doninions; secondly, Of tech
nical nature; limiting Of naval fleets
for ton years, it. saya, is .scnse!ess un-
less the capacity FOR construction Is
also limited. Furthermore, interna-
tionaI limitation of .armaments involves
international control, which must be
organized outside the League of Ma
tions, to which the United States does
not belong. Finally, new methods OF
destruction may be invented.
The journal des Dehats" says the
Hughes plan involves the abrogation Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. "We un-
derstand the Americans stubbornness

Of such project might we'll seem q
menace to Japan
1t is by contrast political fact that
the advance southwapd Of Japan, an ad-
vance which tho occupation OF the
Philippines would constitute, would
Arouse instant and profound apprehen-
sion in Australia aud New Zealand.
Therefore declaration of British pol
icy, supplemented by the presence ORA

IN case of Japanese attack upon the
Philippines, such a. declaration covered
by all shades and courtesy of diplo-
matte phrases, would settle the ques-
tion OF the Philippines so far as Amer
lean naval apprehension is concerned
Move Distinct from alliance
Such declaration would not in any
degree mean an Anglc-American naval
alliance or even understanding. 1t
would mean no more than declaration
quite like the European policy which
time out of mind has stood in the path
way of the occupation of Holland or
Belgium by any strong land state, since
such occupation would constitute a
threat to Britain.
Az all events, believe that the pro-
gram of the naval holiday for ten years
cannot in any sense be interpreted as
a direct thrust at British sea power,
or more than friendly challenge to
Japan. Better than that, ] think 1t
might be interpreted as an answer to
the thrust of Admiral Kato the other
day
Whatever obstacles there may be-
and there must be many--I share the
view Of the French Journalist that the
naval proposals will not alone find sub
stantial acceptance, but that the ac-
ceptance will make possible very
great success for the Washington con-
ference, provided passions are not
reused over the Asiatic problems. and
in placing the naval question at the
fore Mr., Hughes has made a graceful
concession to Japanese desires.
AS to the question OF "open diplo-
macy Mr.. Hughes has placed his cards
face up on tae table in the plain sigh
Of world audience, No Que will deny
the right of the other nations to hold
their cards in their hands, III they
choose, but the process will he dificult
All IN all, the first day of tho Washing
ton conference belonged as much to
Mr. Hughes as did the opening day at
Paris to Mr.. Wilson.
