delegation was dangerously near a row
over antagonism of some of the admiralty
experts to an absolute naval holiday of
ten years, The suggestion has been made
such a policy would result In the de-
mOraliHation Of thee British ship con-
struction facilities. The same argument
has been offered with respect to the dry
docks, but that Is discounted. The gov
eminent dry docks are voiced in the
same light as are garages for automobiles.
Vessels can not be maintained in serv-
ice without - dry docks.
From what could be learned Of the
discussions proceeding with the British
delegation, 1t appeared there was broad
difference of opinion between the civilian
leaders and technical advisers In the
naval service. The civilians were repre-
scented as contending against any such
reservation as the ship-a-year plan on
the ground Great Britain could not de-
fend 1t against the charge that 1t was a
fundamental violation Of the real spirit
Of the naval holiday. One authority re-
ferred to It as a sort Of half holiday

dramatically to Japan what unqualified
adoption Of Secretary Hughes plan for

as this great ship Of 80, 300 tons will not

.PESSIMISM CREEPS
INTO CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-The first deep
note of pessimism crept into the arma-
ment conference today as delegates and
naval experts got down to the business
Of ascertaining the exact Significance of
Japan's objections to the Hughes pro-
posal for the limitation Of naval arma-
ment
"An attempt TO bargain" is the way
many naval experts characterized the
japanese proposal for increased general
tonnage over the figure set by the Hughes
plan, and for equelity with Great Britain
and the United States in certain forms
of auxiliary tonnage "of strictly de-
fensive character
There were suggestions that these pro
posals might be used as a lever in future
negotiations In the field Of Far Eastern
questions.
The sacrifice Japan Is called upon to
make under the Hughes plan is by Ear
the least OF the three nations involved,
T. was pointed out, being 4+S929 tons In
strapped ships, as compared with 5S3,S73
tons for Great Britain and s45, 740 tons
for the United States.
As for the general ratio Of three to
Eve estab ished under the American pro-
posal for the japanese and American
navies, respectively, naval experts assert
GQaL THIS Is 4 instinct concession On LUe
part Of the United States from the old
doctrine that the American Navy. be
cause Of the geographical location Of the
Philippines. should be twice the size Of
tie japanese.
Although the exact ratio n0wssOught by
Japan was not made public officially, It
is understood that Baron Kato will stand
out for Il navy 20 per cent as strong as
that OF Great Britain or the United States
with respect TO capital ships, and sp-
proximately equal in certain auxiliary
craft, probably light cruisers.
MAY COMPROMISE
WITH JAPAN.
Despite general opposition OF naval ex-
perts, many Of whom inclined from the
first to regard the American PROPOSAL as
too liberal toward Japan, there Is some
talk OF a possible compromise on the
japanese suggestions. The two con
propositions most prominently
advanced provide for:
+ Splitting the difference between fig
ures set by the Hughes plan and those
suggested by Japan, provided the latter
call for an Increase Of not more than 10
per cent.
2 Allowing the tonnage increase for.
but limiting such increase to the period
Of the ten-year naval holiday.

head asserted, and urged lowering Of in
come taxes and the adoption of a Fed
eral general sales tax.
| After lauding progress made at the
| Washington arms Limitation conference.
Judge Gary saidi
"The suggestions by some that there
will be less steel manufactured Rs n re-
suit Of armament limitation, are I'M
worthy of even passing notice, In the
first place the amount of decrease, If
any-which is doubtful-would be small,
and even though 1t might be large, no
sane and right spirited person would con-
slider pecuniary interest as Of any impOr-
lance when discussing national or in
ternational welfare"
SEES CHANCE
FOR BIG SAVING.
The steel head said II the arms con-
ference makes an agreement saving so

saving would be prodigious"
But II an agreement to this effect iE
made" he continued, at probably viii
go. much farther as to the amount. AMI
even better than this, 1t will cover prir-
ciples which will tend to conserve peace,
friendship and goodwin, which Is Of
inestimable value to all nations"
Judge Gary blamed middlemen, more
than any single class, for keeping up ths
cost of living, asserting that in fOod,
clothing and shelter, reductions to con-
sumers had not been made In proportion
to Wholesale costs.
Judge Gary predicted that ANY poll
tician or political party standing for
the present tax rates or opposing sub
stanual reductions down to the lowest
practical level, viii not continue In
authority, but win go down to defeat In
the first electiOn.%
THE people will not long endure the
existing situation" he declared. ''ln fact,
they cannot"
WANTS TREATY
TO STOP WAR.
Judge Gary said in turtle rdiscussing
the conference that an agreement to limit
the number Of capital battleships would
DO great step forward. but 1T would
not seem to be practical to stop with
less than a final treaty which Will pre-
vent future wars"
In addition to what Is contemplated
by the limitation Of armament, there
should, with other things. be an under
standing that If any international diff
ferences arise. no resort TO military force
shall be permitted until after there has
been a conference and fun discussion by
all the nations now participating In this
deliberations at Washington be said.
