U. S. FIGHTS PROPOSAL
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United PresR SAT- Corrnsnnndent

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Londor
naval conference today entered upor
It's third week of diplomatic jockey
ing TO rpoSition, with America, Eng
land, italy and Japan seeking q
means Of meeting, or compromising
with, French proposals regarding
the distribution of tonnage among
Yarious types Of warships.
No formal meeting of the "bie
FIVE" was scheduled before Tuesday
and, at the next meeting Frances
chief delegate, Premier Andre Tar
dieu, will be absent.
The written observations of the
four delegations who last week were
invited by France to present their
figures on what tonnage they would
require in each class of warship
were to be completed today.
Figures Not Expected
1t was not expected, however, that
any definite figures would be given.
Instead, it was understood, the
powers would outline their views on
the policy OF transferring tonnage
from one class to another. Ameri-
ca and great Britain were expected
to reiterate their opposition to per-
hitting an unlimited shift of
strength from battleships to lighter
vessels or submarines.
From the American standpoint,
the problem has resolved itself into
an attempt 10 persuade France that
unlimited transference Of tonnage
from one type to another, Is not, In
effect limitation.
For this reason, Americans hold
that battleslips and possibly large
cruisers must be eliminated from
those classes from which a nation
may take away tonnage and give it
to another type Of vessel
U. S. Shift Theory
Instead, the Americans believe
the transfer privilege" should be
limited to light cruisers, submarines
and destroyers-
A second principle to which the
United States apparently adhere Is
that the percentage of tonnage that
may be shifted should be limited tr
not more than Is per cent of the
total. ..t.
If these two principles are agreed
upon, it is understood the Americans
are willing to proceed on the ba-
sis of the French proposal.
Secretary Stimson will meet Prime
Minister Macdonald at $50 p. m
today for another private confer
ence, it was announced.
