DISCUSS DRAFT
or QUADRUPLE
PACT, REPORT
Substitute for Anglo Japanese
Alliance Being Considered
by United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France.
EXPLAINS JAP DELAY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The draft
of a quadruple entente, which would
serve for a substitute of the Anglo
Japanese alliance. it was learned to-
day from authoritative sources. is now
under consideration by the govern
ments of the United States, Great Brit
ain, Japan and France.
This is said to explain the delay OF
the Japanese government in announc-
ing its decision concerning the ques-
tion of the ratio of naval tonnage, be-
cause it appears that the problem of
warship tonnage is connected with ma
tional policy, the two matters are be-
ing discussed together.
There was a growing impression to-
day that if the entente can be worked
out satisfactorily, Japan would not in
sist upon her request for a 20 per cent
ratio of capital ships, as against the
go per cent suggested IN the Ameri-
can proposals.
The inclusion of France in the pre-
liminary negotiations, has attracted
special interest. 1t has not been dis
closed whether the terms of the pro
posed agreement would be of a nature
to satisfy France with reference to her
situation in Europe.
Not Day of Rest.
While formal sessions of the arms
conference and its subdivisions We're
suspended today during the recess un.
til Wednesday. for most of the dele
gates, it was not a day of rest so far
as concerns the important informal
discussions between individuals and
groups which are becoming increas
ingly prominent as the negotiations
reach a more advanced stage
In addition to these exchanges, the
recess affords opportunity for speed
! ing up the work of the several sub
committees appointed by the far east
| ern committee to study specific ques
| tions relating to China, including the
| tariff situation and China's request fOl
