Compromise KumOred

London, Feb. LP-A compromis- settlement of Japan's demand for a cruiser strength 70 per cent Of that Of Great Britain and the United States was believed in usually well | informed naval conference quarters today to be imminent.
 II was understood that the Jap aneaC government might be willing 10 accept q 6G 2-3 per cent ratio iu- stead of the l0-10-7 demanded aui that these hgures now are being studied by delegations from the three countries with the likelihood that there will be final agreement at that r"vel or thereabouts
 Simultaneously the submarn. phase Of the naval limitation uogo- tations has been brought sharply 70 tho fore with announcement that tn" five powers will be given an oppOr- unity to state their positions with regard to that class of craft at d plcnary session of the conference a; St. JamcS's palace next Tuesday.
 Almost over night it seemed that the conference had travcrscd the dis tanCc from the general to the specific and that the theory of disarmament ;nd limitation was being replaced with discussion of putting the theory into practice. Tentatively Ggur,s on three classes of Warships, battle ships, cruisers and submarines have tc,u advanced. They undoubtcdl ' vill b" subject 10 revision but the 2ppcarancc of the concrete in thr discussions has been hcartcning in some quarters.

 Amcrica-t&Q,00 tons.
 Great Britain-lJ0,N0 tons

 At present Japan has cruiser tonnage Of l0S.400 comprising ten heavy cruisers with two more under construction. Of these four ar 7lOo ton craft. each mounted with six S-iUch guns These ar" th" hghtest heavy cruisers in the worlI unless the new German craft b. cAcludel and are considered q real lt at or naval engineering.
