JAPAN REFUSES
TO ALTER RATIO
/ ON SUBMARINES
American Plan To Effect
Compromise In Con-
troversy Fails

Washington. D. c.. Dec. 24.-(By The
Associated Prcss)-An American effort
to compromise the submarine contro-
versy failed of immediate success to-
day before. the arms conference naval
committee when Japan refused to ac-
cept suggested reduction of her
submersibles to 81, 900 tons and French
action was deferred pending advices
from Paris.
When the committee adjourned after
four hours debate to meet again next
Tuesday some members OF the Amer
lean group appeared discouraged over
the prospects Of an early agreement
on submarines altho negotiations are
to continue. Tho American cofnpro-
misc plan presented after the British
enort for complete suppression OF sub
marines had been shelved proposed
sixtk thousand ton limitat tions for Great
Britain and the United States instead
OF the original American figure OF 90,
600 tons each and virtually status quo
for the other three powers.
The British delegation failing to OBJ
tain favorable action on suppression
OF submarines accepted the new
American reduction Scheme.
The French group indicated that it
would be unacceptable but deferred
giving an opinion pending Paris ad-
vices Japan fiatly held ort for the full
oN.VvV IONS IN SUBMARINES the original
American 5-o-S ratio plan.
Italy accepted the compromise plan
conditioned on a submarine tonnage

France and Italy. Tho French deleEa-
ton indicated that II would not op-

approval of any tonnage Limitation of

Of. kLa0chs A,loerts. Under N-statuo
quo France would have about 4, 900
tons In auomersibles.
Ths american group made II plain
tnat while II had great sympathy for
the British viewpoint in opposing all
submarine warfare. II was inclined to
agree with the American advisory
committee that submarines wefc

matter had been discussed with Pres
ident Harding and that the Willingness
OF the American government to pro-

national discussion OF submarine war
on wider basis than the present con-
ference had been indicated.

Names tribute to the memory OF
Governor Parkhurst was eminently
fitting, a gratifying expression Of the
deep sympathy and respect Of her
people in a tragic hour. All realize
that he who was taken from us dear
Iy loved his native State. His ambi-
ton was to serve her and this he did
both as a follower and as a leader.
in this spirit he came to the eminent
place he held, eager to give his best
endeavor. In a sense these memoir
able services were suitable recog-
uition Of that devoted spirit and an
inspiration to those taking up the
task which was denied to him. And
SO public sentiment found expression
in these impressive ceremonies. in
the dignity Of the cortege and in the
sincerity and simplicity of the spoken
word. And it is well to remember
that ii could be said of him that he
met the rebuffs of life without COM
plant and without bitterness and his
soul grew stronger under trial

Hardest Problem in World

Lloyd George did not exaggerate
when he said last week that repara-
lions presented the hardest problem
of the whole world today AS he
grimly Observed:
All the Allied nations agree that
Germany must pay the indemnity by
her exports; but all agree that they
do not want German exports. Every
nation wants to protect it's own indus
tries. Every nation wants to collect
it's debts. Germany has not enough
gold to pay the Allies. The Allies
have not enough gold to pay the
United States. And everybody wants
to be paid in gold.
Then there is the formidable difficult
ty that any settlement must have the
approval and cooperation of the Unit
ed States, the big creditor nation
France must be able to discount her
expectations from Germany for cash.
and the United States must be per-
suaded that Americans ought to pay
the Allies u per cent on all German
goods this country buys. Meanwhile,
Germany must be induced to assent to
revision of the reparations articles in
the treaty of Versailles.

should be able to exercise due dis

keep their heads are qualified for

say as did Doctor Eliot recently:
Very few Americans can hear
straight or see straight" That could
not be truthfuliy said of the pioneers
in this country, If we are to believe
the records of history. They had
their faults, their prejudices and
biSotrics. but along with it all very
many of them possessed common
sense and had time to exercise it. 1t
should not be that our pace becomes

like the sheep which follow into the
