NAVAL RATIO
AGREEMENT To
COME SHORTLY
lAssOcIated Press NIght wire

I WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 13.-
Announcement by the arms confer
ence of an agreement on the 5-5-3
naval ratio between Great Britain,
Japan and the United States loomed
tonight as probable before the week
end. A plenary session is expected
by some delegates. Japan has indi-
Gated conditional agreement to the
5-5-3 ratio. Her acceptance was
coupled, however, with a request to
substitute the new battleship Mutsu
for the old 12-inch gunship Setsu in
the ships she would retain.
The decision of Japan was COM
municated informally to Hughes and
Balfour by Admiral Kato and was
discussed today by the American
delegation at a conference attended
by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
Later the big three" OF the naval
powers, Hughes, Balfour and Kato,
again met, this time Roosevelt, Ad-
miral Coontz and Rear Admiral
Pratt attending After this meeting
|! it was said that only "one very small
point" remained unsettled 1t was
indicated that both the American and
British groups were opposed in a
general way to changing the list of
retained ships of each power as
would be necessary if Japan retained
the Mutsu. This opposition, how
ever, is expected in conference cir
cles to give away if Japan is insist
ent. In that case, it was learned, the
United States probably would retain
the battleships Colorado and Wash
ington, in place of the Delaware and
| North Dakota, and the 10-year naval
holiday would be modified to permit
Great Britain to construct two addi-
tional ships.

STORM LOOMS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
The attitude of democratic senator's
on the Pacific four-power treaty for
the time being will be one of silence,
some Of their leaders declared today
after a canvass OF the situation. The
democrats, it was explained, desired
to avoid discussion which might in
terfere with the arms conference and
also to give republican leaders an op-
portunity to submit an explanation
of the intent" of the quadruple
pact
There were several other senator's
who declined to be listed as con-
curing in a policy of silence. Their
reasons were said to have included
those assigned by Senator Lafollette
of Wisconsin, a republican ''irrecon-
cilsble," who issued a statement set
ting forth his opposition to treaty.
He denounced it as one which would
provoke, rather than avoid hostilities.
The crux of the democratic posi-
ton as advanced bySone senator was
that it was not known what had gone
on behind the closed doors of the
conference sessions and therefore the
senators were in no position to criti-
else or commend the agreement,
basic reason for which had not been
officially disclosed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
Some difficulties are believed to have
been encountered today at the con-
ference between the Chinese and
Japanese delegates concerning the
restoration to China of the Kiao
Chow-T sinanfu railway, Nhe most inn
portant of the subjects now being
considered in attempts to settle the
Shantung controversy. The Chinese
delegates left the conference room in
an apparent attitude of detection,
one saying: I'VE did not make the
progress we should, and do not un-
derstand the Japanese position"
1t is believed that the crux of the
difficulty revolves about the ques-
ton of the security that China would
be able to give in carrying out her
offer to purchase railway and its ad-
jacent mines. Japan's position is said
TO be that she is ready to listen to
any plan of Chinese payment, but is
anxious to determine the kind of Sc
curity China would be willing to
propose.
1t is pointed out that the valua-
ton of the railroad and mines made
duing the Paris peace conference
are about $15,O0O,e0O gold Accord
ing to the Japanese viewpoint, this
does not include expenditures by
Japan in the way of Improvements.

CAMPBELL ASKS
PROTECTION Of
STATE 8 COT TON
ASSOCIATED Press Night wire)


WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec 13.-
The tariff trainers on the senate
finance committee had course in
mental gymnastics today in follow
ing the many subjects presented by
a dozen or more witnesses. The dis
cussion ranged from canary birds to
cows and from near-beer to cham
lpagne, with onions, spaghetti, candy,
nuts, tomatoes, paste and other items
mixed in.
The specific schedules under con-
sideration were those dealing with
agricultural products and provisions,
and spirits, wines and other bev-
crages.
Increased protection for the long
staple cotton growing industry in
the southwest was asked of the COM
mittee by Governor Campbell OF Ari-
zona, and D. B. Heard of Phoenix,
publisher of the Arizona Republican.
They said that the growing of this
cotton promised a development that
would put to use much arid land in
Arizona, California and New Mexico,
and asked that it be protected from
Egyptian products Other industries
seeking greater protection included
the cattle growers OF the west

to Black Canyon; two sections on
the Black Canyon road, from Mayer
to Cordes and from Mayer to Hum
boldt; and a section or two on the
Wickenburg route, from Kirkland to
Skull Valley. These will be ready
this month, the report says.
The road program. the statement
says, has involved several trips out
side the county for data and infor-
nation relative to securing federal
and forestry aid on Yavapai roads
wherever feasible to comply. with
federal requirements.
FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
Surveys have been made on the
different routes south OF Prescott to
the Maricopa county line.
1t is impossible, the statement says,
to comply with federal requirements
to secure additional aid in construc-
ton OF the wickenburg route via
Iron Springs, Skull Valley, Hillside,
Kirkland and Congress- Junction,
owing to the small original appro-
lpriation for it, miles of rough and
costly construction, and the extreme
length of the route, Much of the
good road already constructed on
the Black Canyon route would have
to be abandoned to conform to fed
eral aid requirements The report
was accompanied by financial report
of the commission for the period
ending October 81, 1921.
