Japan's acceptance "in principle
altho forecast by the statements OF
Baron Admiral Kato. may be delayed
as the Japanese mission must confer
with Toxic. Mr.. Balfour may not out
line details of Great Britain's reser-'
vations but they are substantially de-
scribed this way:
Instead of flat ten year holiday
Great Britain wants the replacement
program to be an elastic one-spread
over a period of years. Great Britain
would like to see the submarine out
lawed from naval warfare; failing
this, she wants to sec their tonnage
and equipment distinctly limited. She
feels shat the submersibles allowed
by the American program are too
great: she has never had so large
submarine fleet as the proposals
would allow her."
The United States. Great Britain
feels, would have her at a disadvan-
tage in airplane carrying ships under
the American proposals because while
Great Britain has an equipment OF
these craft the, United States would
have to build the number allotted.
They would be of later design and oc
superior Improvement while British
ships would be obsolete. Great Brit
ain wants the replacement program
spread over period of years, because
British naval experts argue, the pro-
gram could he carried on with a small
eauinment OF building plant at n
smaff scare, probably ship at "a time.
If flat ten year holiday were to be
declared, they say. facilities for max
Ing Wholesale replacement after ten
years would have to be kept in or
ganization and altho great fleets OF
warships might be consigned to the
junk pile facilities for reproducing
them still would exist.
Such a program British naval cx-
perts say does not go TO the root of
tho question. Therefore, they will
propose that, for instance a one-ship
production equipment be left to each
nation to 1T 1t with "a replacement
program extending over period of
years. and that the immense proper
ties equipment. technical STATS and
other organization which would have
to bo kept in readiness to take up
replacement program In ten years be
dispensed with.

Washington. u. c.. Nov. 1@.-By
The Associated Press. Real work OF
the armament negotiations was trans
fcrred today from the open conference

developed widely separated views on
the advisahility of giving publicity to

ing chief delegates OF the United

as the only acceptable solution.

full conference was assigned the task
of working out n solution Tor r"r
Eastern questions. Another com
posed of the delegates OF the I'VE
great powers. was created to take over

mament limitation.
Since enly delegates OF tho fivc
powers are qualified to act on arma-
mcnt limitation in the conference tho
result in such case will be to resolve
the delegates into committee OF

Tho no official would make a pre-.
diction prior to the assembling OF

lion everywhere tonight was that the

But by Japanese correspondents con-
corning the American proposals.
Isn't IL true? Admiral he was
asked "that the ratio of scrapped war
ships under the Hughes proposition
is rather disadvantageous to Japan
considering the present inferior naval
position OF our country? Aren't they
asking too much from us?"
The admiral responded:
why talk about scrapped ships? :?
You should know that what really
counts is the number OF lighting ships
left nflout and not the number OF
those TO be abandoned" The admiral
declined to commit himself as to. the

Japan Is almost certain to favor the
