DECISION NOT REACHED.
SAYS PRINCE TOKUGAWA

Authority to Act.

WASHINGTON. Nov. % (Associated

miral Kato of the Japanese delegation
staff of naval technical advisers last
night as to the attitude OF Japan on
the question of naval ratio were express
sions of personal opinion" Prince Toku-

said tonight. The attitude of the Jap

Prince Tokugawa said the Japanese
delegation was discussing within itself
the question of the wisest course to take
as to naval ratios In the conference. He
would not say whether q decision to

The Prince stated, however. that Vice
Admiral Kato's statement had not re-
suited from any conference within the
Japanese delegation.
Prince Tol<ugawa made It plain that
the statement of Vice-Admiral Kato in
which he said that 20 per cent. feet
ratio was the minimum of safety for
Japanese security, had not been indorsed
or considered, SO far as the Prince knew,
by Admiral Baron Kato. who is one of
the japanese delegates. He was anxious
that there should be no confusion as 20

statement, since Admiral Baron Kato Is

Prince Tokugawa also said that the

80, 900 TON WAR CRAFT
SAFE IN PANAMA CANAL
Size of Lock Not Factor in
Limiting Capital Ships.

WASHINGTON. Nov 20 (Associated
Press) ).-Investigation discloses that
the size of the lock OF the Panama Canal
played no part in Secretary Hughes's
proposal 10 the arms conference that
the size OF capital ships In future be
limited TO n maximum of $4,000 tons.
AS matter of fact a battleship OF
$4,000 tons, armed and armored to an
extent never yet projected for any navy,
could pass through the lock. The Navy
Department Is prepared to build up TO
$4,000 tons and twelve OF the fifteen
ships the United States has offered 10
scrap are of $4,000 tons or more.
In the naval appropriation bill of 1915

GERMANY COUNTS
ON BRITISH HELP
Thinks English Will Aid in
Supplying Credits for Sales
to Russia.

Special Gable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright 1921, by THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Nov. 20.
The movement by German business
interests, headed by Hugo SHINES, " go
over the head of the Berlin GovernDsnt
in connection with negotiations regard
ing reparations was not the result OF
chance but of mature thought on their
part. In German Industrial circles it
has been declared frequently that it
was hopeless to try to deal with inter-
national questions through political
channels.
British financiers are generally under
stood to hold totally different viewpoints
on the question of reparations from those
that are held at the Foreign Office. and
if despite this difference between British
financial and official opinion the proposed
Russian solution, whereby England and
America would furnish credits for the
sale of German goods to Russia, de-
velops satisfactorily, it will be in conse-
quence of business rather than political
Initiative. and IL may help pave the
way, in Germany at least. for even more
active participation by industry in Cow
ernment affairs on fairly non-partisan
lines.
A current of favorable and expectant
approval can be noted already in Ger
man business circles over the prospect
Of something tangible coming out of the
Russian situation. A remark made by
a prominent German industrialist to-day
that all Russia needed was a President
Ebert instead Of Dictator Lenine shows
that thought here is tending toward a
programme for a Russian republic with
a free Assembly
Among the friends of Gen. Ludendorff,
however. any great Russian experiment
is feared. Hands Off was the text OF
comment by a prominent manufacturer

Gen. Ludendorff.

the submarine as essential to the proper
defence of the Unit,d states coast lines.
On this basis the American delegates In
the conference would agree TO reduc-
tion in the submarine tonnage of the
principal navics from that proposed by
Secretary Hughes. Under the Hughes
plan Great Britain and the United
States would have 10000 tons of subna-
rines each.
Abolition OF poison gas by agreement
at the conference is regarded as more
likely than abolition of the submarine.
Poison gas often has a permanent ef-
feet upon the systems of soldiers az
fected by it. 1t, therefore, comes within
the limits of weapons which inflict
wounds which are regarded as Soine-
what outside OF the rules of war. The
common rule is that any weapon may
be used to put soldier out of the fight
ing FOR the time being. The purpose is
not TO MAIN or in1ure him for life, but
merely TO render him incapable OF con-
tinuinS in the immediate conflict On
this ground the dumdum bullet waa
outlawed by the nations on the ground
that small calibre charge was Just as
effective in stopping fighting man.
Restriction of the use OF poison gas
except III the lnlncuidtc IicdLfe OF con-
flict is regarded as certain by the con-
ference. This means that rules would be
made in the event it should be altogether
abolished to prevent its being used
against cities where it would Kill and
injure non-combatarts.
A proposal for the establishment of
an international commission to direct
research work in the invention and de-
yelopment of all weapons of warfare
was presented to-day to the land arma-
ment subcommittee by Edgar Park. 800
Madison avenue. New York. formerly
president of the Marlin Roc ockwell Cor
poration, which made war material dur
ing the great war.
Under his plan Mr.. Park would have
each Government participating In the
international commission foHoid the pri-
vate development of weapons and ex-
plosives. In time of war the commission
would allot arms to the warning nations
in proportion TO their population and
percentage of interest In the interna-
tional commission.
"The people Of every nation said Mr..
Park. "are convinced that private de-
vclopment and manufacture of munitions
OF war is extravagant, inefficient and
improper. and that it acts as an incen-
tive to war constituting perpetual pro-
war influence"
Gen. Pershing is chairman of the sub
committee on land armament to which
Mr.. Parks proposal was addressed.

sives of all kinds and is now reported to
be on the verge of the discovery which
the Germans sought vainly in the
Badische Chemical Works in Oppau,
where poison gases were first made.
until the explosion on September 81 last
wrecked that plant and the German
plans and data.
'If the world rs to be menaced with
a gas warfare there is no limit to the
field for the chemists of all countries" :"
M. Matignon continued. "At the present

deadly effect during the war and which
were responsible for filling our hospi-
tails with pulmonary cases.

initting that the attitude of the Japa-
liese naval experts has snarled up
the situation over limitation of capital
ship armaments, unofficial spokes-
men for the Japanese Government eX-
pressed the opinion that satisfactory
solution would be found before the
end of the present week.
1.-The only public announcement made
luton by the Far Eastern committee
to-day had TO do with Far Eastern
and not naval affairs. although the
latter held the larger share OF public
attention. The American delegates eX-
press complete satisfaction with the
progress toward Strengthening out the
tangle in the affairs of China. The
most substantial advance made in this
direction was the adoption of reso-
luton by the Far Eastern committee,
which pledged the representatives of
the nine Powers participating in the
conference to favor abandonment of
extraterritorial rights in China as
soon as a stable government made it
possible.
