The visit of Henry Ford scheduled
for the latter part Of this week, It
was said. probably would lead Sec
retary Weeks to take definite action
at an early date ON the proposal

turer. Whether the secretary would

self on the question Of acceptance or
rejection was said to depend largely
upon the answers. Mr.. Ford would
give to the questions Mr.. Weeks will
ask him.
The war department has prepared
q questionnaire, which in the opinion
Of some officials will lead to quick
action by the secretary when Mr.. Ford
arrives. The questions are described
as being pointed, with the intention
of bringing the negotiations to an end
and without delay and designed to
bring the parties concerned to thor
ough understanding Of their positions
Former Senator Marion Butler, oi
North Carolina was informed that Mr.
Weeks would confer with Frederick
Engstrum, president Of the Newport

mr.. Butler also presented a letter tt
the secretary by which Mr.. Engstrun
formally agreed to lease and operate
the Muscle Shoals plants for the man

the proposal submitted by his com
pany. The construction part Of the
proposal made by Mr.. Engstrum, hi
said, was incidental to the manufac
ture Of commercial nitrates.
F. C. Hitchcock, vice-president o.
the Construction Company Of NORTH
America, also announced that hit
company would formally offer plal
to the secretary which would contain
a provision for the manufacture o.

was permitted to bring the plants

Washington.-The big five" powers
made further progress In their final
revision Of the naval treaty but en-
countered a difference of opinion when
they came to lay down rules for the
scrapping Of the prescribed battle
ships.
For the American delegation, It was
proposed that the surplus vessels be

readily supported that view, with II

When the five delegation heads ad.
journed after several hours Of debate
the question remained unsettled and
will be taken up again. During their
two sessions, however, they had com.
pleted approval of the first Of the
treaty annexes, embodying q replace
ment chart, and they expressed hope
that all Of the five annexes might be
disposed of.

for public discussion Of the completed
treaty may be held. The Japanese in.
dicated That they expected to receive
the awaited message from their capital

INDICATIONS that an agreement will
not be difficult were supported by a
declaration Of a Japanese spokesman
that he saw no objection to including

over these islands that the issue now
referred to Toxic arose.
Meantime, also, some members Of

their plans for resumption Of the

which will follow completion Of the

for consideration Of the "twenty-one
