SAN PEDRO, Calf, November "a
An explanation tending to lift the
mystery veil from the deaths of two
colonists on one of the barren islands
of the Galapagos group was offered
today even as a scientific party was
on its way there intent on solving the
puzzle.

He deduced that the two had gone

With no passing ships to see their

Tokio's Ambassador Sounds Doom
of 5-5-3 Treaty Regardless
of Outcome of Talks.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 24.-In the
event the present naval limitations
treaty is junked, the United States
probablv will seek an informal ac-
cord with Great Britain on a gen.
eral naval policy in order to prevent
a naval building race between the two
powers, it was learned authoritatiVely
today.
Such an informal accord probably
would include undertakings to keep
each other fully advised of the others
building program as well as an agree
ment to make both fleets complement
tary.
It was stated, however, that no
discussions on this matter nave as
vet taken place, and it was expected
there would be none until 1t would
be evident there was no further nope
of reaching a compromise on naval
treaty.
Naval Race Feared.
Meanwhile the threat of a limit
less naval building race between the
three great rulers of the seas hung
todav over the tri-power conversa-
tions as hope was virtually aban-
doned for a compromise on Japans
demand for naval parity.
The negotiations between the
United States, Japan and Great
Britain reached a crisis yesterday
when the British sided with America
in declining to recognize Tokio's de-
mands for outright equality.
The British expressed themselves as
still hopeful that some sort of COM
promise could be reached, ana

yiev last night that he would make

Americans Firm.
The Japanese admiral made 1t
clear. however, that any new proposal
would be based on the principle OF
actual tonnage equality.
Norman H. Davis, the American
delegate, and Admiral William H.
Standley indicated the deadlock might
send them home by Christmas.
The expected breakdown could re-
suit in a mere postponement of negoti-
ations until chances of an agreement
improve, or an unreined competitive
naval building race.
The American anticipate that Tokio's
official denunciation of the Washing
ton naval treaties, repeatedly forecast
by Japan, would be made soon.

Appointments for so Days.
'"These employees we're put on gradu-
ally as they we're needed" Harvey ex-
planned, "and their appointments were
for 80 days only. We are not firing
anybody, but are simply not extending
or renewing the appointments when
they expire.
There are 305 who will leave the
Washington Offices between December

BUSINESS
SENTIMENT. SEEN
Chamber Offers Statistics
on Good Prospects for
YuIe Trade.
BY the Associated Press.


AS the Nation headed today into
its period of holiday trade, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States produced statistics to show
-improving business sentiment"
This and other announcements,
leading many business men to hope
the Christmas trade might be the
best since 1929, were keyed to a note
of quiet optimism.
The chamber said the improving
sentiment. seen in October, continued
rise in the volume of check payments,
steady retail sales, stable wholesale
prices, favorable car loading reports
and increasing steel production"
Less Reinsurance Required.
Although the chambers position is
that the Government should take no
steps to diminish business confidence
and create uncertainty, it indicated a
belief that ''less in the way of reassur-
ance" is required now than at any
time in the past several months.
In responsible modern enterprise, 3"
the statement said. there is such a
long interval between origination of
additional undertakings and accom-
plishment, with so large outlays for
labor and materials and so small a
margin for profit or loss, that feel
ing of freedom from the danger of
unpredictable outside influences is
necessary to released initiative.
ITO give this feeling in many di-
rections, it will now require less in
the way of reinsurance than at any
time since last Spring"
Like the chamber, the Commerce
Department finds encouraging busi-
ness factors. 1t is preparing for its
forthcoming monthly review a state
ment reporting increased industrial
production, employment, pay rolls and
construction.
Wide Check Use Reported.
The chamber, enlarging on last
months signs of better sentiment,
said:
Such broad index of national
activity as the volume of payments
by checks in the commercial and in
ming 6 per cent over the level of last
year, and 20 per cent over the year
before"
From early September" it said,
"the production of steel has advanced
moderately each week, until now the
level is better than for the corre-
spending part of any year since 1881.
The textile industries continue to re-
gain ground they lost in September"
Predicting November's figures would
show maintenance Of employment" "
the chamber said the recent period
has been one of further progress in
consolidation of positions from which
steady advances are possible, given
general conditions permitting orderly
planning and execution of business
operations"

PREDICTS DOOM OF TREATY.
Saito Sounds Notice on Heels of
AnglO-U. S. Unity.

PHILADELPHIA, November "a (E9.
"A fat declaration of intention to
terminate the tri-power naval treaty,
signed at Washington in 1922, was
Japan's answer today to an Anglo
American warning that the two Eng
disappearing nations will act jointly
in any situation arising from Japa-
nese scrapping of the pact.
The treaty's doom was predicted
by Hirosi Saito, japanese Ambassa-
dor to the United States, less than "a
hours after the governments OF this
country and Britain announced an ac-
cord supporting the present 5-5-3
naval ratio.
Japan is going to give notice OF
her intention to terminate the Wash
ington treaty of 1922" the Ambassa-
dor declared last night in an address
before the American Academy Of
Political and Social Sciences.
Outcome Disregarded.
"This will be done regardless of
the developments at the preliminary
conference at London"
Attacking the ratio system as in
appropriate" Saito said his country
wants a new formula of limitation"
based on two major points: First,
parity among the three powers; and,
second, drastic reductions"
The japanese, he continued, are
willing to cut their Navy to half its
present size if England and the United
States will scale down their ea-going
armamentS to an equal point.
Japan is earnestly interested in the
diminution of the navies, so that the
chance of war should be reduced and
the financial burdens upon the peo-
ple should be lessened," Saito added.
Protection Wanted.
'The most practical and the most
reasonable way of accomplishing this
aim would be, to the mind OF the
Japanese government and people, to
adopt a program under which, in re-
ducing the size of the navies, none
would feel a menace to its national
security. This is exactly the basic
idea underlying the Japanese propo-
sal. -
Japan is in favor of the total abo-
lition of capital ships and aircraft
carriers. She is prepared to go
down as far as the general situation
in the world permits. . ."

PARIS, November 24.-The startling
assertion that an alliance had been
arranged between France and Russia
met with official denial today from the
ministry of foreign affairs, which said
there had been no military accord" !"
"All rumors relative to the existence
of a Franco-Soviet military accord are
without foundation" said the min
istry.
The declaration yesterday of Leon

that such an alliance had been ar
ranged helped force through the

some 12,7OO,OOO,OOO francs $685.

Understanding" Claimed.
Archimbaud's friends commented
that he had emphasized yesterday an
understanding" rather than an alli-
ance or a military accord.
The implications of Archimbaud's
statement caused a cabinet meeting to
be called hurriedly today. Foreign
Minister Pierre Laval. fresh from his
talks with Foreign Commissar Maxim
Litvinoff of Russia at Geneva, laid
the whole European situation before
President Albert Lebrun and the
ministers.
The cabinet then announced ap-
proval. of its long delayed reply to
Poland's refusal of September 81 to
join an Eastern Locarno pact, and
officials reiterated that continuance
of those negotiations indicated France
has not yet made any accord with
the Soviet.
Speech Altered Slightly.
Archimbaud met the suggestion Of
officials that he modify his yesterdays
declaration by altering it in the
official journal.
Instead of stating II don't say an
alliance or military accord" he cor
rected the official report to read: rs
there between these two great nations
a military treaty or simply a close
union?" which gave officials small
satisfaction.
He left untouched his phrase ut
is undeniable that this understanding
exists"
Cabinet Differences Rumored.
Rumors of a strong difference Of
opinion in the French cabinet were
circulated. Archimbaud's announce
ment was said in Radical-Socialist
circles to have been given with the
knowledge of former Premier Herriot,
head of the party, in order to force
Laval back to Barthou's policy of
close arrangement with Russia And
a strong attitude toward Germany.
Archimbauds declaration, which
went unchallenged, was considered
by Herriot's supporters as desirable
both to warn Germany and to reassure
his country.
The budget total passed by the
chamber was an increase of 1,640 0OO,-
600 francs ($1O8,240, ,000) over the ex-
penditures for this year.
