WHAT CONFERENCE
HASACCOMPLISHED
Arms Delegates at Washing
ton Working on Limita-
ton Naval Construction.

Washington-The arms conference
Saturday took a recess until Wednes-
lay, but for most of the delegates there
is no rest in the increasingly promi-
nent informal negotiations" in which
individuals and small groups exchange
views on important phases Of the ne
gotiations.
For the present these interviews are
concerned chiefly with collateral ele-
ments of the situation, while progress
on the all-imp0rtant subject of naval
ration awaits further word from Toxic
The Far Eastern discussions are to be
resumed at a meeting of the commit
tee of the whole on Wednesday, but it
may be late in the week before the
Japanese have received instructions
from their government warranting a
further steps in the naval exchanges.
Washington.-Japan and the United
States appeared to be approaching an
! agreement on the question Of naval
ratio.
After a conference between Secre-
tary Hughes, Admiral Baron Kato and
Arthur ]. Balfour, the Japanese dele
gates began communicating with To
kio, presumably submitting to their
home government some new phase of
the negotiations.
This official communique was issu.

Sugar Refineries
Are Overloaded

Lafayette, lathe grinding season
is at its height and all the refineries
In this section are working night and
day shifts, with supplies Of cane
enough to run already delivered. Every
switch and side track is filled with
cars Of cane shipped into the refiner-
les, while farmers have been hauling
in such quantities that 1t was found
necessary the first part Of the week
to restrict them to about half their
daily deliveries until the refineries
catch up. About two-thirds of the La
fayette parish cane crop has been cut,
but large quantities remain in the
field. The average cost Of production,
it is stated by one Of the largest pro-
ducers, is around So per ton, leaving
virtually no profit to them, as the av.
erage price is $3.50 delivered.

and possibly the Japanese ambition to
retain the superdreadnaught Mutsu
had entered into the developments.
Unofficial Japanese accompanying
the delegation to the Washington con-
ference put forward the suggestion
that if Japan we're permitted to retain
the Mutsu and the American govern
ment agreed not to further fortify its
Pacific bases. the Japanese fleet would
have in effect a rating of 65 or &c per
cent instead of the so per cent allowed
by the American proposals.
Supporting this view, in so much as
it relates to the question of fortifica.
tions, came this authoritative outline
of the Japanese position from more
official source:
"In Japanese minds strong fortified.
tions near the home soil give cause for
anxiety because the Japanese people
want to know the reasons for them. To
them they are closely connected with
the question of national defense, just
as is the question of definite under
standing concerning the Far East be.
tween the United States, Japan and
Great Britain.
There were no expressions from the
authorized spokesman Of any group to
indicate how far these views repre-.
sented the results of Fridays proceed,
ings; all the delegation leaders stood
firm on the official announcement that
mo comment can be made at this
time"
1t was pointed out by unofficial Jap.
anese that whatever may have been
proposed at Fridays meeting had to
be referred to Toxic, because the Jap.
anese delegates do not have plenipo'
tentiary powers and because the Toxic
government would need to consider
the situation as it may affect the ex.
listing ministry.
The whole development, however
was represented by delegation spokes
men as justifying optimism. One, 9th,
er than the Japanese, characterized
the situation as most favorable" and
added that Fridays conference was
one of the most important yet held.
On behalf of the Japanese, fur
ther point was emphasized in this
way;
Japan has no intention to wreck the
conference. At the same time, Japan
must satisfy the demands Of the en-
pire that the national defense shall be
adequate. The problem is to harmon
ize these two clear issues and it is the
problem Immediately confronting Ad
miral Kato. Japan is striving to settle
the naval ratio question on the basis
of considerations of national defense
alone. There is no desire or intention
to bargain on the question or to seem
to be giving up the position on the
ratio in exchange for some advantage
elsewhere"
