SLOW RETURN To
NORMALCY SEEN
BY TRADE BOARD
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

lRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel
WASHINGTON, Nov. S0.-Progress
toward normal conditions has been
continuous during November despite
a relative Slowing down as COM
pared with the previous two months,
the federal reserve board said tonight
in its monthly review.
"On the whole" the board said,
'the best opinion now looks to a
steady, even if locally interrupted,
progress to normal, no sudden expan-
sion or boom is in sight
During the last month the board
declared Improvement in business
conditions was not so pronounced.
For the time being, it was explained,
the peak of demand has been reached
and passed, while uncertainty regard
ing prices of staples, particularly cot
ton, has interfered with trade buy
ing.
Possible further reductions of
freight rates, it was said, has appa-
rently tended to unsettle prices and
to retard industrial activity in some
chief manufacturing sections. Re
covery in the steel and iron trade
has halted for the time.
Export trade shows the result of
strong foreign demand, especially for
staples, which the board declared to
be particularly noteworthy in view
of the much lower prices at which
cotton is being shipped as compared
with last year.
However. reduction in cereal prices
and failure of cotton to maintain as
high a level as expected have proved
a serious handicap to the farming in
terests, the board said, which has re-
suited in a lessening of demand Cor
consumable goods in farming COM
munities and a tendency to check
somewhat liquidating of loans at
banks.
Nevertheless, retail business con-
tinues to improve. taking the country
as q whole. Prices continue to main
tain a substantially stable position,
while unemployment has at least
slightly decreased Except for the
foreign exchange situation. the board
continued, financial developments
were encouraging. A distinct ten
dency toward decline in the level of
market rates was observed as well
as ready absorption of new capital
issues.
''The general situation OF trade and
industry" the board said, sis unmis-
takably more hopeful, and is improv-
ing as steadily as can be expected in
view of the clowness of economic
progress in other parts of the world. "

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-EXperts
of the "big three" naval powers
agreed today that they could not
reach an accord on the basis of cal
culation to be used in measuring
Japan's existing relative naval
strength. They gave up the task and
turned the problem back to their re-
spective arms delegations. Upon its
solution hangs the fundamental prin-
ciple of the American proposal, the
5-5-3 capital ship ratio.
The experts were substantially in
agreement as to the accuracy of es-
Inmates of naval strength of each
power originally submitted by the
American conference group If the
American plan of including all ships
actually under construction, in ar
irving at the ratio. was followed.
japanese experts, however, insisted
that this was not the proper basis of
calculation, proposing instead to dis
regard all ships now building by
either power in determining relative
naval strength.
The plenary delegates of the two
powers will continue the discussion
from this point. Firm determination
of the delegation to insist upon the
5-5-3 ratio and inclusion of ships
building in any estimate of naval
strength was reiterated tonight.
Since no call for an executive ses-
sion of the delegates or for further
meetings of the experts was issued,
it was assumed an attempt to settle
the point by informal interchanges
between the American and Japanese
delegates was in progress and might
last several days.
Belief Japan viii Aceede
strong feeling in
American and British circles that
Japan ultimately would accept the
American method Of calculation and
the 5-5-3 ratio, not insisting on
1O-10-7 ratio This was based on the
conclusion of the British and Ameri-
can experts that the Japanese naval
officers had been unable to show any
sound claim to a 20 per cent status
on the basis of figures they have pre-
sented. There was expectation, how
ever, that to any offer by the Japa-
nese group to accept the 5-5-S ratio

cent estimate was that already au-
thoritatively rejected by the Ameri-
can delegation, exclusion of all ships
under construction from the calcu-
lation and inclusion by Japan of pre-
dreadnaughts over 20 years old.
While there was no vote taken to-
day in the sub committee of the eX-
perts, British and American groups
were in full accord that the Japanese
proposal was not sound and that it
constituted a question of policy, not
of fact.
For the American delegation, the
situation was described authoritat-
lively as an agreement of the experts
as to points of difference. These
include minor questions relating to
percentage of completion of ships
under construction, whether battles
ships over 20 years old can be in
cluded in estimates of strength of
modern navies and similar points.
All of these, in the American view,
are minor because they are questions
of fact.
No More Concessions to Japs
The major point of difference,
however the Japanese proposal to
disregard ships under construction in
calculating naval strength, is viewed
as a matter of policy and a sugges-
ton that is not open to debate so
far as the United States is concerned.
Neither the American government
nor the American people will con-
sent, it was stated, to scrap Is capital
ships averaging so per cent COM
plete and on which more than $780,
100000 has been paid out as the
to be scrapped.
On nth
calculation considered by the experts.
Japan could show not even the so
per cent ratio proposed for her in
the AmaEican plan. Application of
the capital ship tonnage measure
ment to fix the ratio itself, is wide
concession to Japan, it is said.
On the highest ratio Japan could
be allowed by the figures presented
that include ships under construction,
her ratio was SO per cent and to
reach that she would be permitted to
more than 20 years old, while the
United States would discard all
ships over 20 years old. Various
tah@ations were gone over by the
experts and IN every case Japan 5
ratio fell below so per cent. To meet
this condition, the Japanese put for
ward their suggestion that only ships
afloat be counted in estimating naval
strength, since in that way alone
their estimate of 20 per cent could
be attained. Both American and
British experts baked at this and a
final recasting of the tabulations by
the japanese, presented today, added
nothing to the situation.
Admiral Baron Kato. active leader
of the Japanese delegation, refused
tonight to throw any light on what
his group planned to do. In view OF
the authoritative statement from the
American delegations that the 20 per
cent ratio suggestion would not be
entertained, 1t appeared likely COM
promise offers from the japanese
were in order.

APPOINT PLAN
[RepubIlcan A. P. Leased wIrel


WASHINGTON. Nov. so.-Japan's
proposal for 20 per cent fleet as
necessary to her national security
instead of a so per cent fleet has
been formally presented to the
United States and Great Britain.
Baron Admiral Kato. senior japanese
delegate, has communicated it to
Secretary Hughes and A. j. Balfour.
1t is said in Japanese quarters to
have the full support of the Japanese
cabinet and the diplomatic advisory
council in Toxic.
American and British naval ex-
perts, standing together on Secretary
Hughes $3.50 plan as the only one
fair to all. regard the japanese pro-
posal as unacceptable. In the opin-
ion of some American delegates the
situation is delicate, but not without
hope that the Japanese ultimately
win accept the original plan.
The seriousness of the turn of az
fairs in the opinion of the Americans
is that Japan in persisting in her re-
quest for a 10-10-7 ratio, makes a.
stroke at the fundamental idea on
which Secretary Hughes proposal is
based
Japan's proposal, it was disclosed,
was based on her estimate of neces-
sity for national security II was
pointed out that If consideration of
national security were to be substi-
tuted for a continuation OF fleets OF
reduced tonnage but in the same ra-
tio as now exists. the whole basis OF
the conference would be upset.
On the basis of national security
it was said. neither the United States
nor Great Britain would agree to the
60 per cent.ratio which the Hughes
plan would allow to Japan.
Spends Hours Debating Situation
Secretary Hughes and his three
colleagues spent nearly three hours
tonight debating the situation.
Baron Kato's action swept away
the deliberations of the experts con-
sidering the American Imitation
plan. They have had to do only with
technical questions of tonnage esti-
mates involved in the American pro-
posal to limit fleets on the basis of
existing relative strength in capital
ships. Japan has now taken the
matter out of that field.
British experts are in full accord
with Americans, that the 5-5-3 pro-
agreement that is fair to all, particu-
larly in view of the enormous dispro-
portion of the sacrifices in ships and
money the United States has offered
to undertake. The two powers are
agreed also that previous efforts of
the Japanese to base their claim for
20 per cent on a calculation OF exist
ing strength which would include
ships under construction which would
