Washington. - Secretary of State
Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Adj
miral Baron kato, after a prolonged
conference art the State Department,
brought the negotiations of the United
States, Great, Britain and Japan upon
naval reduction to crucial stage,
which foreshadoWs the announcement
of a complete agreement on every es-
sential point.
From a semi-official source it was
learned that the outlook for a naval
agreement was every favorable"
There is good reason to believe that
the agreement which it is believed has
bcan practically completed will go fur
ther than an acceptance of the 5-5-3
naval ratio proposed by Secretary
Hughes.
There are indications that Great
Britain and Japan have agreed upon
the abandonment of the AnglO-Japa-
nese alliance and the substitution of
an understanding among the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. That
VIII not be in the form of an en-
tangling alliance, but will be none the
less q guaranty of future peace in the
Pacific. 1t will be based upon mutual
understandin agnd good will.
Future conferences to iron out any
differences that may arise, with the
understanding that the three leading
naval powers will act together to pre-
serve peace, are to be the basis of the
new understanding.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance has
naturally played a most important part
in the Washington conference. AS the
ally of Japan, England would be
obliged to stand Loyalty by Japan in
support of any effort Japan might
make here to obtain recognition from
the United States of Japan's special
interests in the Far East as they are
represented to be in the terms of the
alliance. The treaty provides for ev-
cry necessary consultation between the
two governments on questions affect
ing the interests of either and which
are comprehended in the alliance.
The theory of the alliance as an ex-
PLANTATION of Japan's position in regard
to naval ratio is accepted in some we'll

support from British intimations that
