of late had come to express conf
dence in the good will and sincerity
of all concerned.
Now I understand public opinion
in France is becoming cynical again,
making it difficult for Premier Tar
dieu to do anything but submit
maximum demands. And since the
British position is contingent largely
upon that of France, obviously it
will be more difficult to reach an
Anglo-American agreement.
The demands Of Japan for 10 per
cent of Americas big cruiser ton
mage is another major problem and
recent events are little calculated
to cause her to modify her claims.
Thus, as the conference comes to
grips with vital problems, upon the
solution Of which depends its sue
cess or failure, the atmosphere sur
rounding it has become charged
with cynicism, which at least will
hamper, and may at most prevent
accord.
Even the hint that the question
of a new battleship had been
brought into the discussion only for
bargaining purposes fails to undo
first impressions. Foreign critics
would say that the United States
tried, but failed to get away with
the goods.

OBSTACLE TO
NAVAL FARLEY
Secret Scheme to Obtain
Huge WarShip Viewed
Bad Influence.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

LONDON, Feb. 13.-It is quite
conceivable that the American dele
cations battleship blunder may
affect the whole course of the Lon
don naval conference, and alter the
nature of its final agreements-if
any.
Certain it is that the atmosphere
surrounding the parley has been
vitiated seriously and critical OBJ
servers are chortGng openly, pre-
dieting that exactly nothing what
soever will be accomplished.
The writer does not share this
pessimistic view. Moreover, Pre-
mier Macdonald today insisted that
the conference was running pre-
cisely on schedule and that like a
Chinese puzzle, which is extremely
intricate to begin with, everything
would come out all right in the
end.
Nevertheless, things distinctly are
less rosy. Americas "secret"
scheme to obtain a new battleship
while Britain and Japan are scrap
ping some of theirs, has had and
will continue to exert an unwhole-
some influence over the progress of
events here. One remark overheard
