League Forces Move
To Give U. s. Priority
In Disarmament Lead
By WILLIAM COOK.
international News Service.

PARIS, July 16.--A strong move
ment to allow the United States to
maintain the initiative in world dis
armament developed today when the
disarmament commission of the
League OF Nations met here.
Rene Viviano, head Of the commits
sion. in opening the meeting, re-
ferred to President Harding's pro-
posal for a disarmament conference
in Washington. He said that 1t was
quite likely that the disarmament
activities of the league would meet
the same fate as covenant amend
ments and league mandates, both Of
which were adjourned by the
league members until America could
participate actively In the debates.
France fayors postponement of any
definite disarmament action on the
part of the League of Nations until
President Harding's meeting is held.
on the other hand, some OF the
powers are opposed to Adjournment.
Their representatives take the view
that the efforts of the league toward
disarmament would undoubtedly
achieve results which would be help
full to the Washington conference.
All evidently are of the opinion that
the leadership of the movement
should be held by the United States.

Japan Must Make
Next Move In Plan
For Disarmament
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News Service.

The next move in the disarma-
ment game is Japan's, Ii appeared
today.
The United States, 1t is understood.
has made answer to- the Japanese
inquiry concerning the scope OF
President Harding's suggested dis.
armament conference, and has in
formed the leaders of the Oriental
nation that the question of scope is
one which is to be decided by the
comforting nations and not by the
inviting nation.
Reports from Paris that the, dis
armament commission OF the League
of Nations is apparently disposed 10
defer action pending the conference
proposed by this nation were re.
ceived with satisfaction In OFFICIAL
circles here, for 1t has been sug-
eested that Japan might express a
desire to let the proposed conference
go by the boards on grounds that II
was a member OF the League of Ma
lions, which had already started dis
Armament proceedings.
Secretary of State Hughes and Am.
bassador Shidehara have exchanged
views on the forthcoming parley, and
Il Is understood that the Japanese
anba ssador has been advised that he
may inform his government that the
". s. has no intention OF draft
ing the, agenda for the conference,
nor does it seek to force any policies
upon the comforting powers.
No Forced Decision.
The Administration holds that the
program for the conference should be
outlined through negotiations between
the invited powers. and 1t is under
stood that these negotiations are now
in process in an informal way In.
uuiries which Japan has made OF
Great Britain and the United States
have opened the way for an inter.
change of views, which should assure
Japan that there is to be no attempt
10 force decisions on specific cues
lions which are not of interest to all
powers concerned.
Suggestions OF fear from certain
japanese quarters that the United
States will attempt TO bring before
the, conference questions when
Japan believes concern only ehe
United States and Japan We're not
substantiated by official comment
here. 1t was pointed out that the
President has Invited the alned
powers 10 discuss general principles
and that only those questions which
affect all Of the nations can De
properly laid before the conference
Japan Delays Invitations.
Until Japan gives a final answer as
to her Willingness to participate IN
the conference, II is probable ina.
there vii be no definite step forward
taken the conference, matter, but
that ind rmal exchanges will continue
betweenk the interested nations In an
effort ID shape the agenda OF the
parley.
Formal Invitations for the confer
once. however. will be withheld pend
ing final action by Japan. At this
time the administration does not IN
tend to increase the number or In
yited nations, but this policy may be
changed by the exchange of views
with other invited governments.

TOKYO, June 26 { BY special cour-
Ter to San Francisco, July 16. THE
last group of British naval aviation
experts who are training Japan's
new naval aviation section arrived
in Japan ir June, 1921.
50 British Filters Aid.
Due to the fact that all, of the
men have come in small groups. and
that all are stationed at outlying
posts. II is impossible to say the
exact number that have arrived. and
no definite information is available
as to whether or not the last group
has finally gotten here. Figures
available show that there are fifty
nine naval aviation experts from
Great Britain here certainly. There
are probably more and possibly as
many as seventy or eighty
There is reason to believe that
despite announcement each time
group has arrived that IL is the
last. there are approximately four
teen more now en- route to Japan.
The new arrivals in each case have,
of course, been cordially received by
officers of the Japanese navy and
have been lodged in the beautiful
Kaihin Hotel, by the Pacific ocean at
Kamakura.
Subsequently some of them havs
been stationed at other places, where
they have proceeded in their work
of building and of instructing tho
Japanese navy.
Prior to the time of their arrival,
enc Frenchman, left over from an
other commission, whose duties were
in aviation only, was here receiving
$3.50 monthly and in addition was
given a house and lot free. This
man is still in Japan.
Gives Idea Of Salaries.
This gives some idea of what the
British ex-service men may be re-
ceiving. but no exact figures on
their salaries are available. 1t Is
entirely safe to say that the entire
budget for building. salaries and
other necessary works in connection
with this tremendously big under
taking is costing the Japanese gov
eminent a sum which a few years
ago would have seemed utterly i'm
possible.
While IL is impossible to tell ex-
actly how many men are stationed
here some idea of the distribution
may be had from the following table
of arrivals:
Prior to 1921-Four French en-
ployed by army. Two Germans,
Hofeisen and Schevzel. employed at
Kobe, building aviation
motors,
November, ls2O-Twelve British ex.
perts known here, sent by British
of Vickers and Company. Thirty
here.
February Is, 1921.-Six British ex-
perts employed at Oppama, aviation
branch of Yokosuka naval yards. :.
Nine British experts employed at
Nagoya works of Mitsubishi Company,
airplanes and motors.
April %, 1s21-Eighteen arrive.
May 9, 1921-Six arrive.
June 8, 1921-Eight arrive.
June 8, 1J21-Three arrive.
The list of those who have arrived is
as thirty-eight. but the fig.
ures herewith and other public an
show that there are at
least sixty.nine Of them and probably
nearer eighty.
