PLAN TO SCRAP SHIPS
AND REDUCE FLEETS
Secretary Hughes Throws Secret Diplomacy
to the .Winds at Opening
Session
/
Washington, Nov. 12.?"Scrap your
capital shops.' Abandon your building
program."
Like the crack of a whip came this
startling proposal today at the opening
sessiort of the arms conference
from the American government to the
governments of Great Britain and
Japan* It broke on the unprepared
minds of the statesmen from London
and Tokio like a flash of lighttrtifig
from a clear sky.

it iouna mem unreaay to mase reply.
They are still gasping and unable
to respond officially tonight,
while the cables are burdened with
thfc most momentous news they have
carried since they bore to a waiting
world three years ago the tidings that;
the war was ended.
The American cards are on the ta-1
ble?face up. They are being studied
tonight in the capitals of the
worlds ^
. - America has shown her hand. She
v ptopcfses to do this:
1.-^-Scrap sixty-six capital ships,
totaling 1,878,043 tons?thirty from
America,- nineteen' from Britain, seventeen
from Japan.
2.?Abandon all building programs
? America to give up her 1916 program,
Japan to give up her "eight and,
eight" program and Great Britain to
^cease construction of four new superHoods.
*
3.?Enter upon a 10 year holiday
. with. Great Britain and Japan dur
, \ iiigr which there will be iy> building.
4,?Keep the relative strengths as
they are at present?'Great Britain
slightly in the lead, the- United States
second, and Japan trailing, a bad
third.
5.?Prohibit the size 6f future battleships,
for replacement, to 35,000
tons.
d.-^-Set the limit of capital ships to
he retained at 2^ for Great Britain,
i8 for the United States, and 10 for
Japan. *
Now World Leader
Thus, with one swift, daring stroke
did the United States today seize the
leadership of the world from the
statesmen who sat about tjtie green
covered "table in Continental hall.
^ There, before the press of the world,
with fite American congress "and hundreds
of others looking on, did Sec-^
retary State Hughes bring forth a
jJ&n which in the ordinary course of
IT diplomatic procedure would have'been
discussed only with great secrecy be*
i
' Jlnjd ciosea ana guaraea acors.
It was without precedent. It was i
Open diplomacy with a vengeance and
it caught the delegates of eight other
fcations?only two of whom are conconcerned
vitally?totally unprepared.
They were riveted in their seats.
Their eyes never left xthe tall, solid
figure of the American secretary of
state as he drove his points home with
vigorous gestures.

the veteran Right HonvA. J.- Balfour,
"rat has participated jn every important
international conference for thelast
half century, looked on with surprise
plainly written in their faces.
,The Japanese, following vith more
dii&culty the clipped accent of Secretary
Hughes," were, at first, more expressionless.
But as they comprehended
more and more the drift of the
flttgkes proposal, the oriental mask
slipped slightly and revealed astonishment
and perturbation.

xne rrencn ana Italians, mure volatile,
were quick to show that they
Sensed the importance of what was
going on. Ambassador Jusserand, the
Oilly member of the French delegation
with a good working knowledge
of English, interpreted for Briand
arid Viviani as Hughes went along.
.Acceptance Expected
]>own at the end of the table, the
"little fellows"?China, Belgium, Portugal
and the' Netherlands?showed
thfeir intense interest. They sensed
that something was happening to the
, - "Big Fellows."
The question that was being asked
t j i i.:
in every embassy aim legawun, cvc^v
hotel lobby and even on the streets
of .the capital tonight is: "Will Japan
and Great Britain accept?"
The impression prevails that they
will?that the United States, by the
unprecedented courage of making
su~h a proposal before the whole
world', has placed the statesmen of
both Great Britain and Japan in a position
from which there is no escape
but to accept.
Unselfishly the United States has
proposed to scrop more tonnage, lose
mnrp monpv bv abandoning her un
completed program, than either Great
Britain or Japan.
"What else can we do?" said one
high British statesman with a shrug,
to a friend.
The bombastic speech cf SecretaryHughes
fell upon the quiet, orderly
stereotyped conference J ike a tfiun^erbolt.

speech of welcome, and had departed '
from the hall, leaving American si rat-j

Hughes and Root and Lodge and Underwood.
!
Balfour, the suave, the polite, the j
courtly English gentleman of the old j
school had just nominated Secretary j
Hughes to be permanent chairman of j
the conference. jj
Hughes Elected
It was a gracious speech in ac- j
knowledgment of the gratitude which, ;
t'he assembled powers felt toward the
United States for calling the confer- (
j ence. He praised Mr. Hughes as being
"hones't, fearless and eiriejent!" ]
Briand of France, was a quick second.
Ke spoke rapidly in French and {
'said that France would be pleased to
see the American secretary of state
take over the conference as its oiiicial
head.
Secretary Hughes hitched his chair
over the center of the U-shaped table, (
wittrtne Americans on ius mt
British on his left.
He rose holding in his hand a num- i
ber of typewritten sheets.' Almost.
before the applause which had greet- i
ed his election had died away, the
secretary began speaking. Upstairs,
where sat the entire membership cf
both houses of congress, the justices j
of the supreme court, members of the !
cabinet and distinguished invited i
guests, there was a hubbub of excited I
whisper, which died away when the
strong voice began carrying its message
