JAPAN WANTS
HIGHER QUOTA.
SUBMARINES
Formal Meeting Of Tri-
partite Naval Conference
Called Today
SEE COMPROMISE.
American Delegate Says
Honest Effort Made To
Reach Agreement

GENEVA, July z, R-Having lost
her battle for the right to build an
unlimited number of small submarines
the wasps that Sting" Japan now
has put forward q demand for 81 con-
siderably increased total tonnage OF
submarines, for the construction of
which she asks authorization under
the projected tripartite naval treaty.
Only private conferences took place
today, but formal meeting of the
delegations has been called for to-
morrow.
The American delegation proposed
to the conference that the submarine
tonnage for the United States and
Great Britain be fixed at from 10000
to 10000 and that of Japan from 3d.
600 to $4,000.
Admiral Saito says he wants 10000
tons OF submarines for Nippon be-
cause of the long stretches of Jap
ans island empire and the necessity
of defending the coast against in
vading warships Japan therefore
asks $4,000 more tons than contained
in the American minimum proposal,
ctllSl 10 C1CebA1y oCCA1llS o. 1lASA1CL FAOPOA-
ton of submarines than the 5-5-3 ratio
established at Washington for capital
ships.
This demand will be taken as a
basis in the discussion of the sub
marine question, and presumably jap
an will be given some satisfaction in
thsi direction.
In giving new angle to the naval
discussions Japan has reverted TO the
declaration she had made on the open
ing day of the conference that the
status quo should be the basis OF any
argument at Geneva and that none
of the powers should adopt new build
ing programs or acquire ships for the
purpose of increasing their naval
strength.
On this basis Japan estimates the
British naval strength in cruisers and
destroyers at 475,000 tons. She sug-
gests that 100000 tons be recognized
as o limit for the United States and
Great Britain for cruisers and de-
Stroyers taken together, and that
100000 be Japan's portion. Since the
United States originally recommended
as minimum 10000 tons in cruisers
for Japan and 10000 tons in destroy
ers, Japan is asking only for 10000
more tons for both classes than Sug-
gested in the American proposal.
Difficulty will be found perhaps in

COMMANDER BYRD PLANS 5 YEARS
OF WORLD AERIAL EXPLORATIONS

Commander Byrd's prospective
fight to the south pole received
an impetU(; by the information
conveyed to the Commander by
the Associated Press that the
American Secretary Of the Navy
had no objection to such, flight.
Prior to this, the Commander of
the America had taken time from
his many engagements to tell a
correspondent of the Associated
Press of Plans which he has in
mind covering the next seven or
eight years for explorations by the
air over difficult parts Of the
world.
First would come his trip to
the south pole, if the navy depart
ment would give its consent, with
explorations over large sections of
this polar area; then an aerial
voyage over the forests and
jungleS of Brazil, where naaE has
not yet found trail. He cOntem-
plated also q good will flight
around America, and finally an
expedition, possibly to Arabia.
Already Commander Byrd has
given much thought to his pro-
posed exploration. Having hover
ed over the north pole, one of his
dearest ambitions is to find him
self some day at the opposite end
of the globe.

PARIS, July Z, R-Unaffected
by the near-tragedy of his trans
Atlantic trip, Commander Richard
E. Byrd already has considered
tentatively plans for aviation ef-
forts even more spectacular. The
South Pole, BraZil's wide jungles
and the Arabian desert are in
cluded in areas which win hear
the thrum of his propellerS if the
''prOgram" of the Americas skip
per is followed.
The next seven or eight years
would be devoted to these cOmpre-
hensive schemes for aerial eX-
plOratiOn of the less known sec
tiOns of the world.
Meantime Byrd and his COM
paniOn fIiers keep up unabated the
strenuous life demanded of pub
lie idols. Today they had lunch
at that place, dinner somewhere
else.
The America will go homo with
Byrd, it's motors in boxes, its
clipped wings in crates. Many big
and little strips of the plane re-
main forever in France, souvenir
hunters having made most of the
wreck when the historic mono
plane was brought out of the wa
ter where it came down at Ver-

Opening of Pan-American
Air Route For Mail and
Passengers Seen

CEDAR POINT, Ohio, July Z (R--
Five large railroad companies are
considering supplementing their rail
passenger service with air passenger
service, William p. MacCracken, Jr.,
assistant secretary OF commerce for
aviation, declared here tonight.
MacCracken, secretary OF the Ameri-
can Bar association, is here to ad-
dress the Ohio Bar. association which
is in annual convention.
Five large railroad companies
have been in conference with me
for some time considering supple

ice with an air passenger service. =
NacCracken said.
"N0ne of. the lines have actually
completed arrangements for such
service but have little doubt but
what marked progress in that oirec-
ton will be made within a year.
''The railroads will sooner or later
be forced into supplementing tEeii
service with air service 1t is a
question as to whether they will go
into the field now or later. Ii the
railroads do establish air lines TO
supplement their rail service they
will probably do it in conjunction
with the Air transport companies,
merely taking care of selling, OF
tickets, necessary business and adj
ninistrative work, charging trans
port companies fee for their work.
Greatest need Tor the fruition OF
great passenger air lines is a large
administrative organization to carry
on routine work or selling tickets
and caring for the business end OF
the enterprise. The railroad logically
fulfills that mission and is there

lishment OF great passenger lines

Recent flights have aided In

Intends To Resign

RAPID CITY, s. D., July z Up
A first hand report on the troubled
relations between the United States
and Mexico was given to President
Coolidge at the summer White House
today by James r. Sheffield, am
bassador to Mexico, but details were
withheld pending further conversa-
tions.
The ambassador had indicated, be-
fore departing from Rapid City to
be guest at the state game lodge,
that in his opinion there would be
no change in the American attitude
toward the Mexican Oil and land
laws.
Pressed for a statement regarding
frequent rrIrnors that he intends to
resign, Mr.. Sheffield declined to
comment, saying that he would not
discuss the Mexican situation in any
way until he had conferred with
MI. Coolidge.
Reaching Rapid City shortly after
midnight, the ambassador was driven

At The executive offices it was
stated that some time before Mr..
Sheffield's visit is over he will make
some announcement regarding his
future plans and his impressions OF
the Mexican problems.
Aside from his conference with the
