eihtcd Press Is able 10 give Some Of
the official figures involved IN tho cx-
changes between tho American ana
Japanese experts over the 1853" IA
10 proposal and the japanese counter
claim for a "10.1O.7" status.
In submitting their original question.
ing TO the American experts, asking
explanation OF the Hughes %pfhposnl
until seven specific points, the Japa.
nese officers included this question.
Explain the relation between the
replacement ratio Of "bd.b0.90" and The
existing ratio Of "BO.5O.9o" respectively
Of Great Britain. the United States
and Japan.
This was supplemented by the In
qulry:
Explain means by which tho existing
strength Of Tho British navy has
been calculated at 600, 900.
In answer the American experts
said:
Although Great Britain bns not laid
the kecls Of her four new Hoods and
the Japanese have laid the keels Of
the Tnkao and the Atago, they have
spent money on all. IN order to be-
entirely fair. therefore, these ships
were included in the lists Of their re-
spcctive nations with the consequent
Increase in their relative strengths.
When this was done, the tonnage
measure OF naval strength between
the United States and Japan was as
follows.
United States. 1.I1s, $50; Japan 5ss..
500; ratio United states 100 per cent:
Japan IS per cent.
A. 10 the 60.50.3c existing strength
ratio calculation. The American ans.
wer explained:
THE war conditions caused Great
Britain to suspend her building pro
gram. In consequence. her ships are
relatively older In type than those OF
the United States and Japan. This
fact was considered in allotting her
6ol.oeo tons FOR the present, but tho
standard allotted her on rcplncc.
ments was 500, 600 tons.
Tho American experts said tho bnsis
OF calculation was kccls actually laid
down os OF November II.
Further explanations however. show
this was not held rigidly against
Great Britain and japan In tho Amer.
lean plnn but only ayninst the United
Money spent by Great Britain and
Japan on ships not yc, lnid down was
figured into the existing strength %
navics but not into American
strength.
Tho Japanese experts required a
list OF the ships or tho United
and Japan on which the calcu.
Iation OF existing strength was based,
degree OF completion allowed for
ship being built and asked whcth.
or differenccs In methods OF figuring
