a-month Townsend pension plan

While Clements denied DR.,

but said it would serve to prevent
q naval arlnaments race If the
'letter and spirit" of it is lived up
to by the naval powers.
Davis further expressed the be
lief that it would serve as a bridge
to future treaties Of more far-reach'
ing scope"
Disappointed BY Japan
However, Davis did not conceal
the disappointment of this gov
ernment at Japan's action in
ecrapping the Washington naval
treaty, for which this country
sacrificed nearly 5000. 0.000,000 ir
costly warships. He said:
"The instrument we are
about to sign falls short Of our
best hopes in that 1t makes no
provision for quantitative re-
ductiOn and limitation. This
the American government and
delegates deeply regret.
"The structure Of naval limita-
ton by agreement built up by
the Washington and London
treaties was badly damaged
when it was found impossible to
carry on these treaties.
"The treaty which we are
about to sign lays the fOunda-
tiOn of a new structure. 1t will
20 far to maintain friendship
and understanding between the
naval powers. It will serve as
q bridge to future treaties Of
more far-reaching scope and the
structure of international under
standing will not have been
destroyed"
FUTURE TO DETERMINE
Despite this optimism as to
what the treaty would lead to,
Davis said only the future could
determine whether it would prove
sufficient to prevent naval com
petition.
Calling attention to the fact
that Japan's withdrawal from the
conference had prevented any
agreement on the size of navieS
and that the present treaty
limited the size of ships but not
the number of them which any
naval power might possess, Davis
said:
"A drastic reduction in unit
sizes will not bring about dis
armament If numbers are cor
respondingly increased. 1t will
depend largely on the goodwill
of the naval powers in adhering
to the letter and spirit Of the
new treaty whether or not re-
stored freedom as to numbers
will be abused by excessive build
ing which destroys stability and
upsets the equilibrium Of Sc
curity."
In appealing to Japan and
italy to adhere to the treaty
Davis said:
81 do not believe there Is
Q single provision in this new
treaty to which any naval
power cannot agree and it Ii
hoped that all the other Wash
ington treaty powers which are
not sisRfng this treaty today
will later adhere"
