BRITISHERS APPROVE THE
SUSPENSION OF NAVAL WORK

London, Nov. 1S.-(By the A P.)-
The British admiralty's announcement to-
day that it had ordered the cessation of
all work on the four warships of the sup
er hood type evoked chorus Of approv-
al .by prominent authorities throughout
England.
Vice Admiral Ballard, in an article in
the Evening News, estimates it will re-
suit in an ultimate saving of pounds
sterling 50,000,000 and may lead to the
entire disappearance of capital ships If
the armor plate mills are idle for a dec
ade it will be difficult to restart them, es-
pecially as regards their personnel, he
said.
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, who warmly
approves Of the admiralty's announce
ment, places the saving it will involve at
pounds sterling 100, 100000. He thinks no
country will scrap its submarines, except
possibly the long range ones, because he
says they are primarily weapons of de-
fense.
W. L. Hichens, chairman of the ship
building firm of Cammell, Laird and Co.,
Limited, thinks that although it is very
disagreeable to armament firms, it is un-
wise to continue spending money while
the outlook favors disarmament He be-
l1eveS tnat temporary allowances to the
staffs would solve the employment prob
lem.
Vice Admiral Mark Kerr is of similar
opinion, adding: 1--WE already have suf-
fcient battleships for Europe. although
the ships use doverseas are not of much
use.
Commander Carlyon Bellairs, who for 6
time was lecturer at the Royal Naval
College. also thinks the step is perfect
| ly justified, especially from, the view.
! point, of the psychological effect of E
generous gesture when it is most import.
ant that each nation show good faith"
| Everything now depends on Japan,
! he declared, there is no question abou
the good intentions Of the American peo
pie"

OUTLINE OF JAPANss POSITION
ON CHINA'S PROPOSALS

Washington Nov. 1s.-(By the A. P.)
-Japan's position on China's> proposals
is being authoritatively outlined this
way:
Japan would like to see the conference
adopt a set of principles which if guar
anteeing Japans right of existence
would generally and especially insure for
China her territorial and, insofar as pos
zible her complete administrative integ-
r,ty At the same time these principles
c.uld affirm the doctrine of equal op-
ocrtuni.y fer all.
Japan, for the moment, has no broad
program to apply to China, but as sug-
gestions arise Japan will explain her own
v.ews which include well defined limit
concerning China beyond which her
spokesman say they will not 60.
AS Japan and China are members of
the league of rations and have subscrib-
ed to making public all treaties, she liz
ready to refra,l from secret treaties, but
is agreeable to submitting conclusions to
China for an crrortunity to register DIS

.iapan they say will not intervene n
| China but eX3ec.s other powers not to
seek to dom nate that country.

These rural highways are not we'll

which pedestrians can walk with
safety, every person who ventures
upon them afoot after dark is in dead
ly peril. This condition can be cured
by providing better lights along the

side, or by the exercise of the utmost
care by all drivers in their use Of
the road. It is obvious that the
chance Of hitting people precisely at
the point Of passing other machines

This is q clear manifestation of

Ing industry are chiefly Of the kind
upon which the soviet idea 10 founded

that land. They have probably only
heard the good reports from Russia,
or have disbelieved the bad reports,
Probably they think that the "dicta.

perfectly over there. and that II would
work even better over here. So they
are going to take possession Of their
own particular industry. generously
allowing the employers for the pres

dictate where those plants shan be To-
Gated and all the conditions Of work.
