u. S. is READY
WITH SCHEME
AT CONFERENCE
Proposals for Limitation of
Armaments Have Been
Worked Out.
POOLING OF THOUGHT
Six Powers Will Exchange
Ideas in Hope of Reach
ing Terms.

WASHINGTON. Oct. %. - Con-
crete proposals to meet each of the
problems presented for solution in
the agenda OF the forthcoming con-
ference on Limitation OF armament
and the associated discussions %
far eastern and Pacific questions
will have been shaped by the Am
er1can delegation for presentation
when the conference meets. Def
mite assurance that progress made
by the delegation in it's preliminary
study warranted this prediction was
obtained Tuesday at the state de-
partment.
Included in the suggestions TO DO
made by the American delegation
will be a plan for limitation Of naval
armament. The session of the four
American delegates Monday with
Sec'y DENLY and naval officials, fol-
lowed by the dinner conference OF
the delegates with Pres't Harding,
appeared Tuesday to have assured
full approval of the plan that
been prepared.
No hint has been given as 10 the
nature OF the American plans ~
this or any other respect. OfficialS
have not been willing to comment,
even in view OF the statement re-
ceived last night through the Asso-
ciated Press that Japan would de-
sire to maintain a large part of her
armament.
1t can be said that this outline OF
Japan'e policy came as no surprise
to naval officers who have studied
Japanese naval budgets for years
Emphasis was laid Tuesday on the
view that the arms conference was
to be a clearing house for all pro-
posals as to ways and means OF
arriving at limitation or possible
reduction OF military and naval
forces. Each of the five power
participating in the arms discussion
is EXP ected to enter the conference
with its views and suggestions az
we'll worked out in advance as will
be those of the American delegate
1t is from this pooling Of thought
on the subject that officials here
hope tc see flow final agreement.
