BIG FOUR DICTATES
AMERICAN POLICY
Military Officials, Acting In
Advisory Capacity Only,
Will Develop Facts
BY Aseociated Presu

Washington, November 1e~-Seo~
rotary Hughes and his associates Of
the American delegation have no In
experts the formulation of any poll
cies to guide American action in
naval or other questions pertaining
to the armament conference.
1t was made plain today that the
function OF the experts was strictly
that of developing the facts. De-
termination of policies upon those
facts is the reserved right OF the 81
villains who make up the American
delegation.
Emphasis in this connection vas
laid today on the undesirability Of
diverting attention from the main Is
sue of the American naval proposals,
the capital ship ratio plan. All ques-
lions of proportions of auxiliary
craft, the place OF submarines in the
scheme of curtailment and similar
items are looked upon by the Ameri-
can delegation as of secondary i'm
portance. For this reason the Amer
lean attitude of resolute adherence
to the "5-5-3 ratio" of the American
capital ship plan has been en-
phasized. 1t is this main issue when
is still to be met, together with the
ten-year building holiday and sub
stantial immediate reduction in ton
mage already afloat. The announced
intention of the Japanese delegation
to seek an alteration of the ratio.
however, is the only known STUN
bling block to this first vital agree
ment. so far as can be seen.
How far the work of the experts
has cleared the way for that I'M
derstanding 1t is difficult to say al
the end of the first full week of con-
ference deliberations. The workings
of the experts remain a mysterious
little-known process to the world
large.
m connection with the Japanese at
titude, the impression appeared TO
gain ground today that Admira
Baron Kato. in announcing his pur-
pose to seek higher tonnage ratio
for Japan was prompted to some ex-
tent by considerations involving
home politics. 1t was hardly. to b.
expected, some officers said in com
ment. that he could accept out OF
hand a definite RELOCATION of Japan
to the short end of the "5-5-3 ratio
proposal without fight. Japan was
said always to have looked towarr
a ratio of IS to 100 in naval strength
as compared to the United States.
How far Baron Kato is prepared 10
press that fight. however, and wheth-
er he does not already stand COM
mitted to the American programme
of maintaining a naval status quo
between the two powers on a re-
duced scale. remains to be seen.
There is nothing to indicate that sue
cess Of the conference has in any way
been jeopardized by any action yst
taken by the Japanese delegates.
