PROBLEMS OF fRa%>
EAST LOOM LARGE
AT ARMS MEETING
Great Britain Believes Anglo
Japanese Alliance Must
Come Into Naval Discussion:
Certainly Pacific Problems
Must Be Considered in Navy
Reduction.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Negotiations
over the naval program according to
the feeling in the American arms
conference quarters are proceeding
satisfactorily.
The four American delegates meet
ing today went over the situation as
it stands. Afterward it was said the
Americans were very well satisfied
with the turn the naval discussions
are taking and were hoping the Amer
ican plan would be received favor
ably. A more definite status before
next week was considered improbable.
To what extent the discussions over
naval ratio and political problems of
the Far East may become intertwined
became subject of increasing spe-
culation as the two negotiations de-
veloped simultaneously toward
point of decision. The whole physical
procedure of the conference thus far
has contributed to absolute separa-
tion of the two questions and on the
surface there has been no indication.
Of change. On the other hand vari-
Gus elements of the situation have
led to the belief in some quarter that
in the final stages there may be an
effort at least to join the two.
British delegates expressed the
opinion that the Anglo Japanese al
lance inevitably would come into the
naval discussion despite the apparent
| intention of the British delegation to.
press for naval agreement not de-
pendent on the outcome of the Far
Eastern question The naval question
is said to have been considered at a
conference yesterday between Baron
Kato and Arthur Balfour and it is
regarded likely that the alliance was
one of the important questions of
their discussions.
f, From the Japanese there have
come from time to time many sug-
sestions that the general Eastern
situations had a close relation to the
| reduction of Japanese naval arma-
! ment. 1t is recalled also that in his
first announcement of the calling of
the Washington conference Presi-
dent Harding declared it was mani
fest the question of limitation of arm
ament had a close relation to Pacific
and Far Eastern problems

Say, Will Not be Inconven-

and Has No Large Repre-

Chicago, Dec. 2-Declaring that
the house representation system in
augurated by the big Five" packers
did not represent the sentiment Of
employees and that they did not ap-
prove the wage reduction of 10 per
cent which went into effect Monday
Cornelius Hayes, president and Den
mis- Lane, secretary Of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's Association today sent
out an order for a strike.
Packing plants in about Is cities
and 200 men will be affected, Mr.
Hayes said.
The packers declared strike
would not seriously hamper work of
distributing the meat products as the
unions were not represented heavily
enough.
The meat cutters and butchers union
is one of the younger unions having
come into life during the war when
the government appointed Federal
to adjust differences
between packers and workers so the
supply of meat might be unimpeded.

l. =. Naval Experts Sec Possibility of
Changing 10 Year Policy.

Washington Dee. 3,-(By Associat-
ed Press. AN impression is growing
In American naval circles that it may
prove eNpedicnt to modify the ten
year naval holiday proposal Of the
American plan sufficiently to permit
building of capital ships to continue
during the holiday on a very restrict
ed basis. There is evidence that both
the British and japanese. feel the ne
cessity of such a modification, it is
said, and American officers to some
extent share that view.
At the beginning of the conference,
British representatives. indicated that
they were struck by the probability
that some arrangement to continue
naval shipbuilding during the period
would be necessary for both economic
reasons and because of the desirable
lty of, keeping up with the develop
ment o! Warship design and similar
naval engineering technical knowl-
edge.
