Treaty Limited Japan.
The Washington treaty Of 1922,
which the treaty under consideration
would supplant, limited Japan to three
flfths Of the naval strength Of either
Great Britain or the United States.
Davis told the committee that Ger
many and Russia might be brought
within the scope Of the treaty. He
explained:
Germany last Summer signed a
treaty with England in which she
agreed to limit her navy to IS per cent
of the size Of the British navy; but
that was quantitative treaty, and
it did not limit, as this treaty does,
the type which Germany may build
"At that time the British contem-
plated that Germany would come into
this treaty. Questions arose later with
regard to that. Objections were raised
to bringing Germany in, and it was
decided that the treaty should be lin
tied to the Washington treaty power
but with French approval, it was
agreed that Great Britain should &c
ahead and sign bilateral treaty with
Germany incorporating the provisions
Of this treaty. After some discussion
the Germans said they were agreeable
to this procedure and found no objec-
ton to the provisions of this treaty
The British are in negotiation now

PEACE PARLEy DUE
TOBE BEPOSTPONED
Buenos Aires Conference
Held Likely to Be Set
for November.
BY the Associated Press.

Preliminary stages in arrangements
for the Buenos Aires all-American
peace conference this year were COM
pleted here yesterday amid indications
that it might be impossible to convene
the assembly until November.
At the same time, authoritative
sources here reported there was no
foundation for intimations circulated
in South America that President
Roosevelt was likely to visit Brazil at
the conclusion of the presidential cam
paign in November.
There had been earlier speculation
in some quarters that the Chief Exec
utive, after having summoned the
peace conference, might attend it in
person. Responsible sources said yes
terday, however. that the President
had no intention of going personally
to the parley.
Expectations in authoritative quar-
ters were that he would designate Sec
retary Hull to represent the United
States
Some Latin American observers
said yesterday that so much time had
been required in assembling and CO.
ordinating agenda proposals from the
81 American republics which will par
ticipate in the conference, that the re-
mainder Of the arrangements could
not be worked out in time to assemble
the gathering during the Summer.
The Argentine foreign minister, Sa-
veedra Lamas, is scheduled to preside
over the September assembly Of the
League of Nations at Geneva, so it
will be necessary for him to leave
Buenos Aires in the late Summer
Some, therefore, had predicted that
unless the anti-War conference could
meet early in July it would have to go
over until November or later in order
to give Lamas ample time to complete
his work in Geneva and also permit
United States officials to devote their
full attention to the assembly, unde-
tered by election responsibilities.
A definite date for the conference,
however, probably soon will be agreed

JAPAN MAY HEED
NAVYPACT TERMS
Davis Sees Toxic Unwilling
to Start Construction
Race.
BY the Associated Press.

Senate testimony made public yes
terday disclosed that the United States
feels that although Japan Is not a
signatory to the 1886 naval treaty, she
will confine her naval building pro-
gram to limits set forth in the treaty.
to escape the onus of initiating war
ship construction race.
The testimony was given the For
eign Relations Committee last week
by Norman H. Davis, Ambassador at
large The committee has approved
the treaty and sent it to the Senate,
where ratification is expected this
week.
Davis also told the committee it was
his view that when Italy's political
relations are settled" she would sign
the treaty.
The agreement, signed by Great
Britain and France, as well as the
United States, provides that sigma
tories give notice when construction is
started on warships and forbids de-
velopment of new types of vessels.
There is no limit on quantity.
Sees No Advantage to Japan.
In answer to a question from Sena-
tor Bachman. Democrat, of Tennes-
see, Davis said:
II cannot see any advantage what
ever that Japan would have in not
adhering to the treaty, and I think
there is a chance that Japan will sign
the treaty, but if she does not, some
how do not believe that Japan will
refuse to adhere to the provisions Of
the treaty.
At another point he said:
THE three, certainly the two larg-
est naval powers, England and the
United States, have agreed to stand
ardize types of ships. I think a ma
tion would assume tremendous re-
sponsibility and the onus of starting
a naval race if it should depart from
the type that has been established
lin the treaty. particularly because 1t
is fair to every one.
1T is not unfair to any nation and
there Is not ground on which it could
justify departure A departure would
in effect be an admission of desire
to start naval race"
Later he said, II think that probably
one inducement to Japan to come in
ought to be that she has not surren-
dered, by coming into this treaty. Her
contention for a right to build navy

He was a little fsstter and considerably

of Queen Wilhelmina.
The official spokesman introduced
him to the correspondents one by one.
He smiled, laughed and chatted with
each, recalling past days with those
whom he had known before. All
awkwardness and gawkishness were
gone and his English came f1uently

his embarrassment vanished, but it
had been replaced by very sincere
and very strong savoire faire, a ge-
niality and beaming friendliness.
