TO STANDARDIZE
TONNAGE COMPUTATION

Washington, Dec. 27.--Navnl experts
OF the special committee suggested by
Arthur J.. Balfour 80 determine
standard practice for the Washington
conference In calculating naval ton
mage gave a preliminary considera-
ton to their subject today with the
possibility that different rules OF dis
placement measurement for surface
craft and submarines might be pro-
posed.
1t appeared possible to some naval
officials today that ultimately the con-
ference would decide to calculate sub
marines in terms Of submerged dis
placement. and thus avoid all question
of the ships military load.
American practice I'm calculating
normal displacement of surface ves-
sells has been followed thus far by the
conference. 1t is based on the dead
weight of the ship derived from her
design and actual weighing Of material
during construction. plus the full
weight of her ammunition and two
thirds OF the weight Of her fuel and
other consumable stores.
britlsn practice adds fixed weight
allowance to the deadweight Of ship
TO obtain her normal displacement.
Other navies do the same thing, but
each has n different figure as to nor
NAL military load allowance.
The importance of fixing an inter
| national naval tonnage rule for the
conference TO avoid future disputes Is
| sharply indicated to naval experts
through such cases as that OF the
Dreadnaught. first of the all-big-gur
battleships to be built and now sched.
uled to be scrapped. The Dreadnaught
Is carried on British naval lists as o.
about 1900 tons displacement. Ac.
tually she was an Overweight shin
when launched, and displaces about
10000 tons.

Debs expressed the opinion that
president Harding. at heart, was
against all war. but described the
President as the representative of a
system that made war possible. The
Arms Conference, he contended, was
significant only In that 1t was a rec
ognition Of the cost OF warfare. and
an effort to reduce expense instead
Of eliminating the cause.
Debs said he harbored no resentment
because of his Imprisonment. The
Socialist leader began today a series
