KATO is NOT LOSING
SLEEP OVER QUESTION

Washington, Nov. 80 (by the As
Isociated Press) AT a conference
with newspapermen tonight Ad-
miral Baron Kato, senior Japanese
plenipotentiary, declined to say
whether the views expressed to the
ASSOCIATED Press by Vice Admiral
Kanji Kato, Japan's naval expert,
coincided with the views of the
japanese delegation. The Kanji
Kato interview was an exposition
Of Japan's reasons for insisting on
a naval ratio of 70 per cent, in
stead of the go per cent proposed
in the American plan.
The attitude of Japan's principal
delegates differs from that last
night voiced by Prince Tokugawa,
who expressed the opinion that the
Kanji Kato interview merely rep
resented the personal views of
Japan's naval expert.
"IIas the interview given by Vice
Admiral Kato the approval of the
Japanese delegation the naval
minister was asked.
II cannot criticise what other
people have said," he replied.
"Do you think, like Prince Tok-
ugawa, that Vice Admiral Kota
merely expressed his personal
views?"
II would like to be excused from
answering" he returned, because
lie say anything it would be In
terpreted as my own opinion. And
l am not yet in position to pre-
sent my own position. This is q
matter of great importance and !
think it will take more time to
SC tie It,"
He said that while he was not
losing sleep" over the question. It
was of such vital Importance that
he was worried little by the
question"

HENRI LANDRU
CONVICTED ON
MURDER CHARGE
tBy The Associated Press.)

Versailles, Nov. 80 (by the
Associated Press.) - Henri
Landru, who has been on trial
for nearly three weeks In the
assizes court here, charged
with the murder of ten women
and boy, was found guilty of
murder in the first degree to-
night.
Landru was sentenced to die
by the guillotine.
M. Moro -Giafferi, defense coun-
sci, finished his summing up this
afternoon, after which Judge Gill
bert read forty eight questions Il
the jury. The first was whether
Landru was guilty Of murder with
generalization in. the case of MN
Cochet. Questions also were put
as to the mental condition Of the
prisoner.
NJ. Moro-Giafferi cast doubt o.
all the prosecutions evidence. He
reminded the jury that a person
could be proclaimed legally dead
only when they had been missin,'
thirty years. He cited cases OF
missing persons having returned
years afterwards.
"A white SLAYER, yes; an assas-
sin, never" he exclaimed, pointin9
toward Landru. lie added that the
possession by the prisoner of pa
pers identifying his alleged victims
corroborated the theory that Ian
dru probably had sent the women
abroad with false papers in white
slave" traffic.
These women are alive" he
said. referring to the ten women
Landru was charged with killing,
"but they are ashamed to make
their whereabouts known"
II am innocent" Landru shout
ed to the jury. This was the first
time in the thirty-two months
since he was arrested that the pris-
oner had used the word "innocent
in public. Heretofore he had con-
tented himself with saying, "Show
me my guilt"
Today, however he was showing
more emotion than at any TINA
during his trial.
During the short address he
made to the jury. Landru de.
clared, II have never killed anv
one; | am innocent. Jurors do
your duty"

SURVEY REVEALS
Progress Toward Normal
Conditions Has Been
Continuous During No.
vember, Reports Say.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 30.-Progress
toward normal conditions has been
continuous during November de-
spite relative Slowing down" as
compared with the previous two
months, the federal reserve board
kafd tonight in it's monthly review.
"On the whole" the board said
"the best opinion now looks to a
steady, even. if locally interrupted,
progress toward normal, although
no immediate or sudden expansion
or boom is in sight"
During the last month, the board
declared Improvement in business
conditions was not so pronounced.
For the time it was explained, the
peak of demand has been reached,
and passed while uncertainty re-
garding prices OF staples, particu-
larly cotton, has interfered with
trade buying.
Possible further reductions of
freight rates, It was said has ap-
parently tended to unsettle prices
and to retard Industrial activity in
some chief manufacturing sections.
Recovery in the steel and iron
traNe has halted for the time.
Export trade shows the result OF
strong foreign demand, especially
for staples, which the board de-
clared to be particularly note
worthy in view Of the much lower
prices at which cotton is now be-
ing shipped as compared with last
year.
However, reduction in cereal
prices and failure Of cotton to
maintain as high a level rs ex-
pected have proved a serious handi-
cap to the farming interests. the
board said, which has resulted In
1essening of demand for consum-
able goods in farming commune
ties and a tendency to check some-
what liquidating of loans at banks.
Nevertheless. retail business con-
tinues to improve. taking tho coun-
try as a whole. Prices continue TO
maintain a substantially stable pos
ition, while unemployment has at
least slightly decreased.
Except for the foreign exchange
situation. the board continued. H.
nancial developments were encour-
aging. A distinct tendency toward
decline in the level of market rates
was observed as well as ready ap-
sorption of new capital issues,

and industry" the board said, rs

improving as steadily as can be
expected in view of the slowness

CONVENES COURT
WHERE KENNEDY
MET HIS DEATH
Arthur c. BurCh Faces the
Jury at a Roadside in
Beverly Glen; Surveyor
Continues His Testimony.

Los Angeles, CALI, Nov 30.-At
a roadside in Beverly Glen only a
short distance from the point where
]. Bolton Kennedy fell dead Aug
ust fifth, last, from a shotgun
wound, Arthur c. Burch today faced
the jury which is trying him on a
charge Of numbering Kennedy.
Judge Sydney N. Reeve con-
vened court in regular session in
la roadway in front of the Kennedy
summer cottage where the tragedy
occurred, and Frank w. Stoddard,
la deputy county surveyor, con-
tinued testimony begun at the Los
Angeles hall of justice, Is miles
away, about Typographical points
connected with the case. The dis
trict attorney pointed out spots
concerning which he said testimony
would be offered later.
The jurors saw cottage, indi-
Gated as the Kennedy one, perched
upon steep hillside 20 feet or
more above the roadway, and Il
flight of a dozen steps leading up
to 1t. on the ninth step from the
road was a dark red stain which
lit had been testified marked the
place where Kennedy was found
dead. Clumps of sycamores and
poison oak trees and briars were
on either side of the steps, and
from one of these, the district at
torney said, the state expects to
show shot was fired which caused
Kennedy's death. 1t was testified
by Stoddard that while there are
other cottages within view from
that of Kennedy, the particular
spot where the shooting is alleged
to have occurred was obscured
from them by the shrubbery.
The Jurors were guided up the
stairs to the cottage and Burch
followed, guarded by deputy sher-
iff and accompanied by his attor-
neys.
Also of the party was j. d. Ken
nedy, father of the slain man, who
took O. keen interest," in the pro-
ceedings,. while from an automo-
bile in the road Ralph r. Oben-
chain, whose former wife, NADIA

ly with Burch, watched events

tage the. party moved to a spot
about 800 yards away where the
prosecution contends the slayer of
Kennedy hid his automobile in
side road while he lay in wait for
his victim.
The party then returned to the
hall Of justice, where adjournment
was taken until tomorrow morning.
Formal proof of death was intro
duced at the morning session, the
witnesses including the elder Ken

KATO IS SILENT
REGARDING THE
RATIO D|SPU
A High Official, However,
Declares He Believes the
70 Per Cent Allotment Is
Vital to Japan.


Washington, Nov. 30.-Admiral
Baron Kato declined tonight to dis
cuss the situation arising from the
disagreement Of the naval experts
| on the ratio of Limitation, but one
of those high in authority in the
japanese delegation uneQuiyocally
declared Japan believed her 70 per
cent ratio was vital because she
believes anything less would place
| the empire at the mercy of the
great naval powers. He added that
he felt the Japanese were justi-
fled in contending for a higher
ratio, believing that the spirit of
the American proposals supported
Japan in her demand for a PERM
anent navy large enough to safe
guard her national interests.
The Japanese view was repre-
sented in a political sense, as fol-
lows:
Japan for the moment has no
guaranty, nor has the present con-
ference found a guarantee, that no
difficulties will arise in the future.
If such a guarantee existed and
the Japanese could return home
with the conviction that all would
be harmonious in the future. there
would be no need of insisting on
any higher naval ratio. But Japan.
from a practical point of view and
from the standpoint VI the COM
parative strength Of navies, feels
she must maintain a naval force
large enough to defend Japan ader
quately.
Japan would venture no specu--
lations as to a possible solution OF
the deadlock among the experts.
Jana nese here in an unofficial ca
pacity express the opinion that
Japan could not put herself In the
eventual position Of putting a break
in the conference. They expressed
anxiety. however, as to how set
tlement was to be reached.

Situntinn Is nnlIintc.

American and British naval eX-
ports. standing together on Secre-
tary Hughes 5-5-3 plan rs the only
one fair to all, regard the japanese
proposal as unacceptable. In the
opinion of some American dele
Gatos the situation is delicate but
not without hope, that the Jap

ORIGINAL plan.

makes stroke at the fundame entail
idea on which Secretary Hughes
propoaal Is based.
Japan's proposal. it was dis
closed, was based on her estimate
of necessity for national security.
1t was pointed out that If consid-
Grafton of national security were
to be substituted for a continuation
Of fleets at reduced tonnage but in
the same ratio as It now exists, the
whole basis of the conference
would bo upset.

which the Hughes plan would al.
low to Japan.
Secretary Hughes and his three
colleagues spent nearly three hours
tonight debating the situation.
Baron Kato's Action.
Baron Kato's action swept away
the deliberations of the experts
considering the American limita-
tion plan They have had TO do
only with technical questions OF
tonnage estimates involved In the
, American proposal to limit fleets
on the basis of existing relative
strength in capital ships. Japan
has now taken the matter out Of
that field.
British experts are in full accord
with Americans, that the 5-5-S
proposal is the only possible road
to an agreement that is fair to all,
particularly in view of the enor-
nous disproportion of the sacri-
fices In ships and money the Unit
cd States has offered to undertakes.
The two powers are agreed also
that previous efforts of the Jap
anese to base their claim for 70 per
cent on calculation Of existing
strength, which would exclude
ships under construction, are not
within the SCOPE of agreement.
On a national security basis. the
extent OF American and British
coast lines, as compared to Jap
anese, American and British inter-
ests and obligations in the Far
Fast as compared to Japanese:
the commercial enterprises of
American and British citizens over
the world as compared to Jap
anese, would have to be weighed,
1t was said. The comparison. It
was added, would not admit of
even a 60 per cent status for Jap
anese
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1921-12-01

The experts were substantially In
agreement as to the accuracy of
estimates of naval strength of each
power originally submitted by the
American conference group IL the
American plan Of including all
ships actually under construction,
in arriving at the ratio. was fol-
lowed. japanese experts, however,
insisted that this was not the prop
er basis OF calculation. proposing
instead to disregard all ships now
building by either power in de-
termining relative naval strength.
To Continue Discussion.
The plenary delegates of the two
powers will continue the discuss
sion from this point.
Firm determination of the Amer
ican delegation to insist upon the
6-5-3 ratio and inclusion of ships
building in any estimate OF naval
strength, was reiterated tonight.
Since no call for an executive
session of the conference delegates
or for further meetings of the ex-
perts was issued, 1t was assumed
an attempt to settle the point by
informal interchanges between the
American and Japanese delegates
was in progress and might last
several days
Japan May Accept.
There was o strong feeling In
American and British circles that
Japan ultimately would accept the
American method of calculation
and the 5-5-3 ratio, not insisting
ON a 10-1O-7 ratio. This was based
ON the conclusion of the British
and American experts that the
Japanese naval officers had been
unable TO show any sound claim 10

of figures they have presented
There was expectation, however,
I.iat to any offer by the japanese
group to accept the 5-5-3 ratio

Pacific. That question has not yet
been injected into the conference.

merits quit where they started, at

that in two weeks discussion, they

craft. were deferred until the capl-
TAI ship ratio problem was solved
The arms conference still stands
tonight. so far as it major opjec-
tive--the naval agreement-goes
nt that point.
In Japanese circles pleas to sup,
mort the Japanese claim for 70
per cent ratio were put forward
hut they were based largely on
questions of national security AMI
not on claims as TO present
strength of the two navies. The
only compilation of figures pre-
sented to support the 10 per cent
estimate was that already authori-
tativaIy rejected by the American
delegation, exclusion of all ships
under construction from the calcu-
lation and Inclusion by japan OF

years old.
