AnglO-Jap Treaty Involved

II was suggested today in British
circles that the Anglo-Japanese treaty
would inevitably come into the discuss
sion. if it has not already done so, de-
spite the apparent intention OF the
British delegation to press for naval
agreement not dependent on the out
come OF the Far Eastern questions.

Naval Program Goes Ahead

NEGOTIATIONS over the naval program
according TO the feeling in American
arms conference circles today. are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. The four Am
erican delegates meeting today, went
over the situation as il stands After
wards il was said that the Americans
were well satisfied with the progress
OF the conference and were hopeful
that the American limitation program
would be acceptable. A more definite
status, however. was said TO he i'm
probable before next week.
Causes Much Speculation
To what extent the discussions over
the naval ratio and the political prob
lens of the Far East may become in
terwincd became a subject OF increas-
ing speculation today as the two ne
gotiatons developed simultaneously.
The whole physical procedure of the
conference thus far has contributed to
al solute separation of the two ques-
tons and on the surface there has
been no indication of a change On
the other hand various elements OF the
situation have led 10 a feeling that be-
fore the close of the conference, there
may be an effort at least TO bind the
two together.
