GENEVA, June 21.-Pro.
posals for the extension of
naval disarmament, as set
forth at the tri-partite con-
ference by Great Britain, the
United States and Japan, were
today turned over to the
,technicians for careful study.
| Proposals to Be Studied
Y Leaders 81 the delegations met
ga executive commit
4Ad decided to organize .
large technical committee to begin
work studying the proposals inns
mediately. The executive commit
tee will re-meet on Friday.
/ First Rift Seen
The first rift in the conference
+, may come over the question of
cruisers, a question that has been
| heatedly debated by experts since
the Washington conference.
The American delegation It was
learned, has decided to strenuougly
IoPPSSC LIAC 4OA1N10u pAOPOSeA AOA
six-inch gun cruisers to the prac-
teal exclusion of eight-inch gun
10000 ton cruisers.
| The British proposal, American
experts state. would force the
| United States into building small
cruisers. which have no practical
value for American purposes.
Japan Opposed
Admiral Viscount Saito, head of
the Japanese delegation, was very
outspOken today in declaring that
Japan will never accept a 500 ratio
for auxiliary ships a proposal which
France and Italy already had re-
jected at the Washington conferences.
Admiral Saito said he saw many
difficulties ahead particularly with
the British proposal for increasing
the age of battleships, proposal
which Japan opposes and upon
which the United States is more or
| less neutral .
The American delegation. finding
| the Japanese proposals somewhat
vague, today asked the Japanese
for precisions. Pending receipt OF
more details the Americans are
loath to form any opinion on the
Japanese proposals.
Much Work Necessary
The first rapid study of the three
sets of proposals proved to the
American delegates that many weeks
work probably will be necessary. be-
fore any definite compromise is pos.
sible.
| Although the Americans realize
that everyone is willing to make
some concessions, nevertheless the
proposals are now so far apart that
it ise evident that much hard work
| lies ahead.
