JAPS ACCEPT
NAVY RATIO
Agreement Soon by Con
ference on Hughes
Plan Is Predicted

Washington, d. G., Dec. 13.- (By
The Associated Press. ANNOUNCE
ment by the conference agreement on
the 5-5-3 naval ratio between Great
Britain, Japan and the United States,
doomed tonight as probable before the
weekend. A plenary session is ex-
pected by some delegates. Japan has
indicated conditional agreement to the
5-5-3 ratio. Her acceptance was
coupled however with request to
substitute the new battleship Mutsu
for the old 12-inch gun ship Setsu in
the ships she would would retain.
Tho decision of the Japan was COM
municated informally to Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Baltour by Admiral Baron
Kato and was discussed today by tbe
American delegation at conference
attended by Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt. Later, the big three OF the
naval powers Messrs Hughes. Bal
four and Kato. again met. this time
Mr.. Roosevelt. Admiral coontz and
Rear Admiral Pratt attending.
After this meeting 1t was said that
only "one very small point remained
unsettled. 1t was indicated that both
tho American and British group were
opposed In a general way to changing
the list of retained ships OF each
power as would be necessitated II
Japan retained the Mutsu. This oppo
sition. however. is expected in confer
encs circles. to give way II the Japan
ESQ arc iusistcnt.
In that case. 1t was learned that the
United States probably would retain
tho batticships Colorado and Washing
ton. in place Of the Delaware and North
Dakota and the ten ycar. naval holiday
would be modified to permit Great
Britain to construct two additional
ships. EgiI
Tho Japanese proposal II In line with
the contention of the Japanese naval
experts that experts of all nations
were aEneed that ships armed with L.
inch guns could not lie In tho bottie
line against modern craft armed with
1l-inch, 15-inch. or i6-inch rifles Both
the Setsu and tho Delaware and North
Dakota arc 13-inch gun ships while
this Mutsu and the Colorado and Wash
ington each carry eight 1s-irch rifles
Great Britain has no battleships as
far advanced as the Mutsu and the
Colorado ana the washington. Inc
heaviest British naval guns are i5-
inch.
Presumably. II provision Is made for
two additional British battIeships to
take the place of the two oldest ships
OF tho King George class on the re-
taincd list. vessels OF the Mutsu type
and armament would be added.
The four super-Hoods planned by tho
British and to be abandoned are more
than 10000 tons In displa cement and
beyond the 5000 ton maximum limi,
proposed In the American plan. II has
been indicated that Great Britnin did
not desire TO carry out any building
program at this time.
There was some reason TO believe to-
night that British opinion iu the ses-
slons of the big three" was being OK
erted against amp modification of the
original American plan that wonld re-
arrange the list OF retired ships SO
as to make II cxpcdicnt for Great
Britain to proceed with capital ship
construction.

Washington. u. G.. Dec. lathe en-
listed personnel Of the navy will he
reduced shortly by about five thousand
men Us, result of orders authorizing
discharge OF many men on their own
requests. IL was learned at the navy
department today. Commanding Of
ficers were instructed to- give prefer
cncc to men who are short timcrs''
and to those holding ratings in which
there is now an excess of men.
The reduction ~ necessary because
of the shortage OF the appropriation
for the pay OF enlisted men for the

tho Atlantic fleet the reduction will
affect about ZOO men il was said and
in the Pacific fleet about 500. The
aviation personnel will be decreased by

ance will lie distributed thru various

La Toilette Announces Oppo-

Power Treaty

Washington. D. C.. Dec. 13.-The at
titude OF Democratic senator's on the
Pacific four power treaty for the time

avoid discussion which might inter-
fsre with the arms conference and also
to give Republican leaders opportun-
ity to submit an explanation OF the
intent" OF tho quadruplc pact.
There were several other senators
however. who declined to be listed as
concurrinE in a policy OF silence. Their
those assigned by Senator LaFollettc
of Wisconsin,. n Republican "irrccon-
eilabic'' who issued "a statement today
setting forth his opposition to the
treaty. Hc denounced II as ono which
would provoke. rather than avoid hos
tilitics.
The crux OF the Democratic position
as advanced by one senator was that
It was not known what had gone on
behind the closed doors of the confer
ence session and therefore senators
were in no position to criticisc or COM
mend an agreement the basic reasons
for which had not been officially dis
closed.
one question said to have been
hrcachcd informally was whether the
real purpose OF the treaty was TO take
. step toward world peace or whether
Il amounted to IAN alliance to insure
world domination OF commerce for
the powers concerned
While most Democrats indicated
their willingness to avai, n Republican
statement before speaking on the
treaty Senator Reed Democrat OF Mis-
scuri one of the league OF nations ''ir-
reccncilahles" said he expected to
