PARIS, France, December 3.-Pre-

States. first. because be did not con-
vince American opinion that the
French military and naval policies
are in harmony with the Hughes
naval reduction program, and, second.
because he did not secure American
support, at least passive, for the
French policy in Europe.
In well-informed quarters here it is

men are mentioned as most likely to
be NJ Brands successor. One is ex-
President Poincare and the other is
Raoul Peret, now president of the
chamber of deputies. In a recent
speech in Italy M. Poincare announced
that his program was to act vigor-
ously in making Germany meet her
obligations, and at the same time try
to restore the entente with Britain.
1t is considered that successfully to
consummate both these objects at the
s;,me time will require statesmanship
OF the highest order.
Raoul Peret is supposed to have a
less vigorous policy toward Germany
and generally to be closer to BRAND.
Political circles are profoundly inter-
ested in the future allied policy in the
matter of the German reparatfons.
and speculation is rife as to whether
Britain is really proposing a mora
torium, or longtime loan. The
conviction is gaining ground that
Germany is genuinely unable to pay,
but the French government is not yet
committed to any project for the
modification of the reparations pay

this without imperilling the new bud

ASKS TO DELAY SAILING.
Morse Does Not See Why He Should
Be Indicted.

By the Associated Press.
HAVRE, December 3. Charles W.
Morse, American financier, cabled At
torney General Daugherty today, ask
ing permission to delay his departure
for the United States until the sailing
of the steamship George Washington,
on January 5.
Mr.. Morse was detained by the
French authorities on his arrival
here yesterday morning at the re-
quest Of the American consulate. 1t
was stated his presence in Washing
ton was desired in connection with
the investigation of his transactions
with the United States Shipping
Board.
MIR. Morse declared that he felt
his cablegram yesterday to Mr.
Daugherty, in which he said he would
return to America when wanted was
somewhat vague. and in today's mes
sage he asked permission to consult
Prof. Ettore Marchiafava of Rome

Plus. in regard to a necessary opera
ton. Mr. Morse expressed disbelief
in the reports that he had been in
dicted.
Explains Indictment.
1.-The report of my Indictment in
with the Tunis ship deal,
he told the correspondent, must be
unfounded, as l was indicted on that
charge more than a year ago in New
York state, and, the indictment was
auashed at the request of the Ship
ping Board"
(Mr. Morse was indicted May 3, 1920
on a charge that. through an agent.
he had sold the steamer John G. Nc
Cullough to the government of Tunis
in violation of the law prescribing
sale of a ship registered under the
American laws to any one not a
citizen of the United States without
the Shipping Boards permission.)
Concerning the reports of an in
dictment charging padding of pay
rolls at our Groton, Conn.,. shipyard,
this is also impossible, as full in
vestfgation was made by government
officials, who reported that there was
no padding of pay rolls at Groton.
Even had there been padding, mas
much as our contracts with the Ship
ping Board all provided for the de-
livery of a certain tonnage at sc
much per ton, the government had
no concern beyond the fulfillment OF

DECISION ON RATIO
MAY Be DELAYED
Japanese Sees Final Settle
ment Awaiting Agreement
and Word From Toxic.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The final settlement of the ratio of
naval strength of Japan and the
United States, particularly with refer
ence to the capital ship tonnage.
which the United States says should
Japanese. 10 to Z. will. in the opinion
of well-informed Japanese here, await
not only word from Toxic. but also
will wait upon some agreement or
understanding by the Washington
conference as to important problems
of the far east under consideration.
The Japanese delegation, according
to a Japanese statesman now In
Washington. must reckon with the
sentiment which has developed in
japan itself in favor Of the 1917 ratio
advanced by Japanese naval experts
as necessary for the national security.
Must BE Convinced.
The Japanese people must be con-
WINGED that the American proposal OF
5 to is correct. For that reason, this
Japanese, who Is anxious to see the
conference entirely successful and
limitation of naval armament
brought about, suggests that the full
est publicity of the calculations OF
the American naval experts would go
far to remedy the situation. At the
same time, the japanese figures. some
of which have been put forward
should be laid before the public. In
this way, it is contended. much of the
difficulty could be obviated.
II is contended, also, that If far
eastern questions can be arranged
successfully. this would go far to
allay sentiment in Japan for the
1O-7 ratio. If the Anglo-Japanese
alliance Is to be done away with, and
it is evident that it must il there is
to be final agreement by the United
states to stop building naval vessels
for q period Of ten years and scrap
many she is now building. then II
should be made clear what Is to take
the place Of that alliance in the way
of a friendly understanding by the
powers in the far east.
Fertilization Also Issue.
A decision of the. conference, ac-
eording to the Japanese point of view
to halt further construction of forti-
fcations upon naval bases in the far
east, with the status quo retained
also would have a very beneficial ef-
feet. The suggestion is made that ii
