FRENCH LIKE PLAN.

Paris. Nov. 14.--Dispatches outlin-
ing the developments at the opening
of the armament conference In Wash
ington take first place In all the Paris
newspapers.
President Harding's high idealism.
as evidenced in his opening address, is
termed by the Petit Parisien "a
ray of sunlight coming to rekindle the
heart Of our people. so greatly touched
by the war;"
The Journal, while approving the
American proposals set forth by Mr..
Hughes, says the problem confronting
the conference In this respect Is the
attitude to be taken by Japan.
The Journal Des Debats says the
Hughes plan involves the abrogation
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

success In the great objects Of the con-
ference will be attained"
An editorial In the Daily News says:
"By single gesture America has
changed the whole face Of information
al affairs. A despairing world has
been shown path of salvation. This
path, which was missed at Versailles.
is revealed once again at Washington
as broad and straight"
The Daily Express says in an edi-
torial: valiant If staggering is the
proposal Of the United States. 1t
brings an ideal to the verge of practi-
cal politics."
The Daily Chronicles editorial says:
'srhe world is in debt to the United
States for its broad humanity and in
cisive vigor. It is our English way to
turn over critically all proposals af-
fecting the strength of our navy, but
it should be at once said that, apart
from certain reservations on account
of the vastness of the sea area which
we patrol, the American proposals
strike us as being quite fair to our
selves"
The Morning Post in an editorial
says: Elects and armies are but In
struments of warfare. Neither France,
America. nor Great Britain desires to
spend one penny more than the sum
requisite to secure that justice and
those rights to which President Har-
ding referred"

Washington.-The American dele
cation to the armament conference is
opposed to the Japanese demand for
an increase in capital ship tonnage
over that allotted them in the five
five-three Hughes proposal The Brit
ish delegation stands with the Ameri-
can delegation on the ground that the
original proportion should stand. In
the Consideration of the Japanese pro-
posal as announced by Admiral Baron
Kato, the Japanese. therefore, stand
in distinct minority.
The attitude of the Americans is
based on the fundamental premise that
the five-five-three ratio represented the
comparative naval strength of Eng
land, America and Japan on Novem-
ber ~. And so, to meet the American
stand, made known here. it is alto
gether likely that the Japanese will
reply that 1t is possibly just that the
ton to the strength of the three navies
on November II, but they will argue
that those relations were not five-five-
three, but something like five five
three and half. That, naturally, will
cause long expert discussion--if the
Japanese push the contention they are
mentioning.
Arthur j. Balfour, head of the Brit
ish delegation. made it very plain in
his speech accepting in principle and
spirit the Hughes proposal that his
government agreed to the ratio of five-
five-three as measuring the strength Of
the three navies, and believed that
ratio should be maintained In the final
settlement. / understand that "a hours
after the announcement of the Japa-
nese demand the British delegation
sees mo good reason for retreating
from the position Balfour laid down
In the name of his government.
1t Is the attitude of the American
delegation that it is proposed to stop
now competition in the building Of
naval offensive ships, which are capi-
tai ships. Having carefully figured
the comparative strength of the three
big navies as of November II, it is
the American position that the ratio
of five-five-three represents fair ratio
to be adopted, and that any departure
from this ratio means not cessation of
competition in capital ships, but dis
guised continuance of the competition.
In other words, If the naval race is to
stop it should stop.
If you don't stop some time you will
stop no time, Is the way the Americans
see 1t. And, always regarding the
five-five-three ratio as fair, the United
States delegates hold that 1t does not
mean stopping naval competition TO
be competing in an effort to get little
more than the ratio representing where
the racing nations stood on the day
1t was proposed to call halt.
