The most complete information has
been telegraphed to Toxic regarding
the attitude of the British and Amer
Jean governments on the limitation
of sea armaments which are consid-
cred necessary step toward the es-
tablishment of permanent peace.
The information was accompanied
by the statement that the American
and British delegations desire 10 ac-
cord the fullest privileges compatible
10 the japanese Government in the
matter OF sea ornaments. but that
they believe the counter proposals OF
the japanese naval experts would
impair seriously the great benefits
which it is hoped can be accomplished
with the concurrence Of Japan.
The conference of Admiral Baron
Kato, Mr.. Balfour and Secretary
Hughes last night resulted in an
agreement as to the form of the
statement which the first named en-
voy has communicated to his Govern
ment.

Washington. n. c.. Dec. 3.

The capital ship ratio question APP
parently has been settled. The .Japa-
nese evidently have accepted Americas
5-5-3 ratio but arc waiting on Toxic
for confirmation. There arc strings
TO this. however. that may mean the
inclusion or exclusion of the Mutsu
and the adding of a ship to every navy
in the world. The holiday and replace
ment idea is understood to have been
definitely settled. And in this there is
room for little trouble.
Capital ships may be built to the
extent of $4,000 tons. In order to give
20 each nation a round fleet of ships
and the advantage of full tonnage the
total tonnage limits of 100000 tons for
the United States and Great Britain
and 1000 tons for Japan may have
TO be changed.

Ratio for Requirements.

The change most widely discussed Is
10 fifteen ships for England and the
United States and nine ships for Japan.
The exact meaning of this is not clear,
although II did come from high authori-
ties. Under the Hughes plan Japan re-
tsins ten ships which lack 900 tons of
making up Japan's full tonnage quota;
the United States will retain eighteen
ships. the total displscemonts of which
will exceed our total tonnage by $50
tons. England will retain twenty-five
ships, exceeding her allotment by 10000
tons. To reach this proposed 15-i5-9
figure ships would have to be scrapped.
], Is probable. however. that IN the event
OF the plan becoming a reality the
figure will be for replacement only.
But just how requirements are TO be
made is at present probiematical No
little opposition is said to have been met
by the supposed British proposal to
build two replacement ships each year
II Is to be seen that each nation would
build entirely a new fleet every ten
years. and the expense OF such a propo-
sition would be almost as great as the
present expense.
This feature should be worked out OF
the proposal II could be done BY jus,
cutting it IN nan. bulio one snip year
as replacement. IL would then
take fifteen years 10 reconditon the
American and British navies. In order
TO take the japanese navy into consid
Grafton allow that nation to build a ship
every year and half or a little better.
Such plan would allow each nation TO
replace within the limits OF sense.
The American plan as IL stands allows
ships TO be replaced after they arc sew
cnteen years old. That vs., a replace
ment ship may be laid down at that
time and completed within three years.
the original ships being scrapped as the
new one enters into service. The diff
ference, Il Is to be seen, Is only two

Reflects Ultimate views.


While no announcement regarding
the tenor of the discussion last night
was forthcoming to-day, there is
ample reason TO believe that Baron
Kato expressed the desire TO have it
reflect the exact and final views of
the United States and British govern
ments on the ratios Of capital ship
armament to be allowed to the navies
Of the three countries.
Spokesman for the Japanese Gov
ernment appear to be completely sat
isfied with the situation. and there
is apparently no thought in their
minds of the possible rejection of the
views Of the British and American
delegates. They think It merely a
matter OF time before the approval OF
the Japanese Government will be re-
ceived at Washington and the adop-
tion of the Hughes plan for limiting
sea armament is placed before the
conference for final approval.
AS soon as it is received announce
ment will be made as TO the date OF
the next plenary session of the con-
ference. This probably will not be
before Wednesday or Thursday be-
cause of formalities connected with the
convening Of Congress.
Issue Clearly and Fi-mIy Drawn.
The issue between Japan and it's
two most powerful naval competitors
has been clearly and firmly drawn.
and 1t can. be stated on the highest
authority that no collateral matters
have been permitted to intervene in
the discussion of the supreme point
involved. This may be accepted az n
positive declaration that the discussion
of naval armaments has not been used
by Japan or any other nation for
trading purposes.
IL Is not improbable. OF course. that
the japanese Government. whose in
terests in naval. political. diplomatic
and economic matters will be most
vitally affected by the conclusions OF
the conference would have been grati-
fled II issues coming within the scope
OF tho Far Eastern agenda bad been
considered in connection with tho sub
ject OF naval armamcnts.
But there IL no justification for the
statement that Prince Tokugawa and
