Prcss) deliberations of the technical
commission. headed by Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt and including highest
naval officers Of the fivo powers repre-
sented in the conference appear TO have
reached a point where the capital ship
ratio may be considered settled, so far
as the British and American fleets are
concerned.
The American proposal that Great
Britain retain eighteen battlcships and
four battle cruisers and tho United
states eighteen battleships seems TO have
been accepted by the experts which
implies final acceptance " the con-

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G., Nov. 1S.
Much interest was given to-day to the
declarations from British quarters that
England, concurrently with Japan and
France, was disposed to accept the Chi
nese proposal AS basis for further
discussion.
Moreover, It was said on high au-
thorty that Great Britain was ready,
first, to perpetual, the open door In
China; second to give up extraterr!-
torial rights as soon as China will prove
herself capable of protecting the prop
critics and persons of the foreigners in
her territories. and, third to help the
Chinese people to get rid Of anarchy at
home and resume their economic life.
For the open door there is, of course,
no difficulty to be expected from Great
Britain. as she has about the same in
terests as everybody else, except Japan.
to see an equality of opportunity Tor
all nations in China.
One might feel somewhat surprised
at first to see Great Britain standing
ready to give up eXtraterritorial rights
in China. Great Britain is better in
formed than any other nation OF the
disastrous conditions which prevail and
which jeopardize the prosperity and even
the freedom of the foreigners who are
not protected by extraterritorial rights.
AS everybody, the English have known
Of the arbitrary treatment of Russians In
Manchuria since the end Of last year.
Among the incidents recalled to-day Is
that OF a Russian General who lived in
an opulent residence in Harbin when a
Chinese General arrived in town. With
out hesitating the Chinese official takes
the easiest way, puts the Russian into
prison without any pretext When,
after few days, the Russian is released
and returns to his former home he finds
It occupied by the Chinese General and
his own door forbidden to him by two
sentries That way of course, Is an easy
one but does not exactly agree with our
civilization.
But is is not to be left unnoted that
Great Britain will give up the extrater-
ritorial rights only las soon as China S
development will make the country safe
delay the enforcement of the declaration.
The third point of the British declara-
tion is of such a general and vague
wording as to leave the question exactly
where IL stood.

London. Nov. 1S.
The NEW YORK HERALD editorials adj
vocating the scrapping of all submarines
have brought a widely divergent re-
sponse from British experts Nearly
all are inclined to go the limit with
the United States, but hold with Mr..
Balfour that smaller craft is excellent
Tor defence purposes. One high official
who is not permitted to be identified
thinks that the value of scrapping all
submarines may easily be overrated.
since submarines could be rapidly built
in case of an outbreak of hostilities.
OF a dozen naval authorities ap-
preached in regard to THE NEW YORK
HERALD suggestion none would be quoted.
The question opens hitherto undis-
cussed phase of disarmament. II Is
held tha the submarine with a reduced
navy has n use i'm other than the gem
orally accepted sense of the weapon of a
coward
Officials of the Admiralty warmly ap-
proved the suggestion, but said Il was
a question for agitation i'm America.
since apparently America was putting
more faith in the submarine than Great
Britain. They believed that Great
Britain would meet America to almost
any extent in cutting this branch of the
navy.
Admiral Sir Percy Scott wants the
submarines kept and says that no
country would scrap its submarines, ex-
ccpt possibly those of long range. be-
cause they are weapons OF defence.
