PAGE SIX THREE NATIONS . IN FULL ACCORD ON PRINCIPLES OF NAVAL LIMITATION?PLAN WORKED OUT BY HUGHES, BALFOUR AND KATO IN SERIES OF CONFERENCES. Washingrton, Dec. 14.?Great Bri tain, United States and Japan were in full accord . tonight as to principles on a naval limitation. *11 nHoo+inna involved Aft majvi ? have been whipped into shape. Teehnical details as to one phase alone held back on official announce ment. The plan worked out by Secre tary Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Admiral Baron Kato in a series of joint conferences, follows the origi nal American proposal except in one Tespect That difference is the agree ment that Japan may retain the battleship Mutsu instead of the ?&su; that the United States re tain the Colorado and Washington in place 6t the Delaware and North Dakota and that Great Bri tain build the approximate equiva lent for the Mutsu. The "big three" are in agreement as to policy. It appears that the British angle might be settled by providing that she retain two super-Hoods and scrap three or more old ships in their places to bring relative tonnage in retained ships into ap proximately the same ratio as ori ginally proposed by Secretary . Hughes. That element of the plan was still to ibe finally decided, how ever, when the abig three" meeting lafte today adjourned. Further meet ings of the trio are expected. Any formal announcement of complete agreement basis of the American "5-5-3" ratio plan must await this last step. It was emphasized in conferences eircles that the three conferees are eager (to reach full accord and that no technical objection of a minor * * ^ 11 J x-.
