CONFERENCE MAY BLOW UP
II Japan Insists in Revision Upward
Of Naval Program, All Negotia-
lions Will Be Wrecked.

Japan has not formally asked the
Washington conference to alter the
5-5-3 capital ship ratio contained in
the Hughes Limitation proposal.
II it should insist upon a revision
upward of It's share of capital ship
tonnage it would wreck the confer
ence.
This was made clear at Washing
ton Tuesday. Japan's naval experts
and propagandists, it was admitted.
are INDUCING in much talk about
needing 20 per cent allotment in
stead OF so per cent, but should its
delegates go before the conference
with such demand and stand upon
1t. the conference would blow sky
high.
That may sound like threatening
language. 1t is and 1t comes from
source just about as high as can
be found in the conference. 1t was
uttered in response to statement
given to the Associated Press Mon
day night by Vice Admiral Kato,
Japan's naval expert, explaining why
Japan needs 20 per cent of capital
ship tonnage
Following denunciation of this
stand by the Japanese experts, dele
gates OF Japan were eagerly stating
that Vice Admiral Kato's views were
not their views, but there is still
further talk of Japan demanding a
treaty with the United States on the
ratio. or a treaty relating to Pacific
Notifications as price of its con-
sent to the 5-5-3 plan.
The 10 per cent proposal was ham
died by the conference officials who
analysed 1t, without gloves Primar-
lily this statement was made:
"An attack such as this on the RAJ
tion or naval relatively as laid
down in the American plans wonld
mean destruction of the proposal"
Secondarily II was declared that
the 5-5-3 or 10-10-6 ration of naval
relatively is not only fair to Japan,
but Is stretching the figure in ia
pans favor upon any basis or rela-
tive strength that could possibly be
employed.

price for the number and will be dis
appointed II 1t does not secure q
hearty support here.

LONDON LIKES HARDING STAND

Increasing attention is given by
the London press to President Hard
ing's suggestion Of an association
of nations" through series of in
ternationaI conferences, the conclu-
sions OF which would be observed
under a "gentleman's agreement"
rather than treaty.
The Times in Its editorial columns
Tuesday said that Mr.. Harding's
conception Of the principles UNDER
lying such an association has in it.
self a tonic effect" The newspap-
er adds:
ut is heartening to know that the
president. inspired by the results Of
the Washington conference, is al
ready looking forward to a future
from which the possibility of active
cooperation by America in the So
luton Of acute problems is not ex-
cluded.'
The Morning Post says: ''The
presidents aspiration demands seri-
GUS respectful consideration.
Any method whereby America can
bring to bear her vast influence for
the restoration OF civilization is most
welcome. as for the existing
league of nations, in default of the
adhesion of America II is impossible
for it to fulfill the purpose Of its ex-
istence."
The Post, however, expresses IT.
self as being not strong believer in
any league or association. It dis
approves Great Britain's suspension
of warship building, and says:
"The debates In Washington be-
gin to bear disquieting likeness to
The Hague conferences which nearly
brought disaster to Great Britain"
Interest in the sympathy with
'the growing movement in America
for greater participation in world
affairs" is expressed by the Daily
News.
