.IMPASSE FEARED
Americans Insist Britain's
Plan Would Make Navy
ImpOtent

j GENEVA, Switzerland, June 81 P-
Never will the United States be forced
! into building small size cruisers un-
suitable for the needs of her national
defense-that is, it is understood, is the
answer which the American delegates
will make to the British proposal at the
tri-parttie naval conference for the
eventual abolition of the 10000 ton
cruisers authorized by the Washington
parleyS.
The close of the second day of the
conference has permitted the experts
to reaffirnn their earlier judgment that
the three plans presented the Ameri-
can, British and Japanese are SO di-
vergent as to be utterly irreconciliable
and are certain to make treaty inn
possible unless someone recedes from
his original position.
Admiral Saito, however, in state
ment to the Associated Press tonight,
in which he explained the purport of
the Japanese proposals, threw an en-
tirely new light on some Of Tokyo's
intentions and justified the belief of
the American delegation that an agree
ment would be more possible on basis
OF the Japanese plan than the British.
Saito made it clear than in Americas
future cruiser building program she
could under the Japanese project scrap
some of the numerous deStroyers and
put, the tonnage thus saved into
cruisers.
!. AS any low limitation scheme would
undoubtedly involve the scrappirlg of
American destroyers because of their
superior numbers, the head of the
Japanese delegation declared that by
the transfer of destroyer tonnage,
American cruiser power could be
brought up to meet any American re-
quirementS.
But Saito emphasized that Japan
wanted to keep her existing or con-
tracted for strength in cruisers, num-
bering 80 with a total tonnage of
100000. 1t is evident that on these
figures the United States would be
obliged to possess eventually some 30
high powered. cruisers Of 10000 tons
each if it desired to keep the parity of
5-5-3 which was fixed at the WASH
ington conference for battleships.
The admiral admitted that the
Japanese plan allowed the construction
OF small submarines without limit, but
contended that there were purely for
defense of JapanS extensive island
coast lines
Even naval experts are having diff
Guilty in their efforts to understand the
exact meaning Of the respective plans.
That is why selected officers OF each
country will meet tomorrow and en-
deavor to determine the exact purport
of the American, English and Japanese
projects.
Despite the heat, the leaders declined
to get excited. Admiral Viscount Saito
is unperturbed, calm and meditative,
as if sitting in his Japanese garden in

Final Drive Towards Chin
ese Capital Presaged by
Action

SHANGHAI, June 81 (P9.-The i'm
portant port of Tsingtao on Kiaochow
bay in the province of Shangtung has
been occupied by detachment Of ma
tioralist troops, say the vernacular
newspapers.
This detachment, the reports said,
entered the city by boat from Haichow,
which they recently captured, and then
proceeded along the railway toward
Tsinanfu, the capital of the province.
The papers also state that the northern
general, Sun Chuan Fang, at one time
the defender of Shanghai, who is now
at 'Tsinanfu, is expected to surrender
to the southerners momentarily, thus
further opening the road to Peking to
the nationalist invasion.
(TSingtao was former German leased
territory. 1t was then occupied by the
Japanese and restored to China in
December, 1922. Recently the Japanese
government decided to send 1000 troops
to TSingtao, an action which brought
protests from the Chinese. The city,
if it's capture should be confirmed,
would represent the farthest north ad-
vance of the nationalists thus far in
their drive on Peking0
The vernacular newspapers reported
added military activity at TsingtaO by
the Japanese, a temporary wireless sta
ton having been established and
preparations made for further troop
accommodations.
