OF Ireland have now entered stage
in which the negotiators are talk

tending over months instead of weeks

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The real
WORK OF the armament negotiations
was transferred today from the open
conference to the moro secluded pre-
cincts OF the committec-room.
After n debate, which dcyeloped
widely separated views on tho ad-
Visibility OF giving publicity to the
negotiations. tho big Five" COM
prising the chief delegates of tho
United States. Great Britain, France
italy and Japan. settled on tho com
mittee plan as the only acceptable
solution.
To one committee, whose member-
ship will be identical with that or
tho full conference itself, was as
signed the task Of working out a
solution for the Far Eastern oues-
tions. Another, composed of all the
delegates of tho Ave great powers,
was created to tako over tho neEo-
tiations on the main topic of arma-
ment Limitation.
Since only the delegates Of the five
powers are qualified to act on arma-
ment Limitation in the conferences,
the result in each case will BIO to re-
solve the delegates into a cons
mittee of theNwhoIe,T
Work behind Closed Doors.
Although no official would make
a prediction prior to the assembling
OF tho new Committees. ''thc pre-
sumption everywhere tonight was
that tho meetings would be held be-
hind closed doors. and that the pub
lie would get glimpse of the pro-
ccedings only when. in their ca
pacity as committeeman, the dele
gates have an important decision to
report to the conference rs a whole.
The committee plan was said to
have been agreed to as the most di-
rect method OF attack on the prob
lens before the conference. since 1t
would permit greater liberty OF col-
fldential expression between the rep
resentat!ves o? the various govern
mcnts and would obviate much of the
procedure tha, would be necessary

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-"It isn't
the scrapped ships that count; it's

Baron Kato today In answering n
series of questions put by Japanese
newspaper correspondents concerning
the American proposals.
One of the men from Tokyo asked: !:
Isn't 1t true. admiral, that tho
ratio Of scrapped wnrships under the
Hughes proposition Is rather disad-
vantagcous to Japan, considering the
present inferior naval position Of our
country? Aren't they asking too much
from us
Fighting ships Count. ~
Tho admiral responded
why talk about tho scrapped ships?
You should know that what really
counts is the number Of fighting ships
left afioat and not the number OF those
which are to be abandoned and con-
signed to tie scrap heap
The admiral declined to commit
himself as to probable Japanese
eounter-sugsestions, but 1t is under
stood that, although Japan is almost
certain to favor the American pro-
posals rs II whole. 1t is probatIc that

The American plan was termed
large and generous as we'll as prac-
