BRITAIN SIDES WITH U. S.
Using Influence to Bring Japan to
$50 Ratio Plan.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Grcat Brit
ain, as the ally of Japan, is using her
influence to bring the Japanese
views in the naval ratio dispute into
harmony with those of the United
States.
With this development, the Japan
csc plenipotentaries again have sub
nitted the whole question to their
home government.
The exact nature of the latest move
for a solution of the ratio problem is
not disclosed. but it is indicated that
Great Britain has found a double in
terest in the success of the negotia-
tons, because she has accepted i'll
principle the American $50 pro-
posal and because, on the other
hand, she is allianced with Japan,
who asks for ratio of 1o-1o-7.
All the principals on both sides of
the controversy refused tonight to
recognize the situation as a dead
lock- The American delegates, 1t
was said authoritativcly, were even
declining to regard Baron Kato' S
proposal for an increased Japanese
strength as formal presentation OF
the Japanese Viewpoint. They were
confident, it was declared, that the
= Io-Io-7 proportion would be aban-
doned before Japan's final state
ment of position is placed before the
conference.
During the lull new attempt was
begun today to settle the long debat-
ed Shantung controversy, but in view
of the status of the naval negotia-
tons the Shantung conversations
were looked on by many of the dele
gates as small part Of the main
idea. Secretary Hughes and Mr.. Bal

STOCKS IN SLUMP,
: MOTORS LEADING
Drastic Cuts Announced by
Manufacturers and Tire
Men-Day's Action.
RY s. =. WEST.

| NEW YORK, May 9.-The most i'm
portant development over the week
end for its influence on the stock
| market was the announcement OF
| further price cutting in the motor and
| tire industries
This action had been commonly
looked for after the reduction made
public last week by the Marmon, the
Chevrolet Motor. the Goodrich and
| the Lee Rubber Company.
But the lower price schedule an
nounced by the Oakland Motor and
United States Rubber Company today,
along with the rather heavy deficit
reported by Pierce Arrow for the
March quarter. confirmed the impress
sion that too much store had been
set by the Improvement in the motor
and allied trade last month and the
month before. 1t was not that this
was merely temporary revival be-
tween two periods of depression The
best judgment is altogether on the
side that automobile manufacturing.
and with it conditions in the tire
trade, definitely turned the corner
early in the year.
But the recovery of March and April
was too rapid to be sustained. 1t has
been followed by something of a set
back and. while the view is that an
later in the year. the immediate effect
has been to check the enthusiasm Gre
ated six weeks ago by the first reports
of the new orders flowing into the
automobile makers.

Spurt in Sugars.
The sudden squirt in the sugar group,
while nearly everything else was GO
ing down, occasioned surprise in specu-
lative quarters, where it had been the
idea that this was the one class of
stocks. above all others. the outlook
for which was very dubious. One rea-
son for the rise undoubtedly was the
declaration on Saturday of the regular
$3.50 quarterly dividend on Manati
Sugar. This action scarcely had
been known in time to be reflected in

Another reason was that heavy rain
falls in Cuba have caused the shut
