Xo replacement ship could exceed 35,000 tons. 1 The United tSates would scrap 30: capital ships aggregating S43.7-:o tons: Great Britian, 19 aggregating 583,375 tons, and Japan, 1,7 aggregating 448,928 tons. The figures include old ships to be scrapped, ships building or for which material has been assembled. "Very Drastic," Says Kato. Characterized by Baron Kato. thej chief Japanese delegate, as "'very drastic," but probably suitable as a basis for discussion, and by Mr. Balfour, head of the British delegation, as "astatesmanlike utterance, pregnant with infinite possibilities and most hopeful of satisfactory results," the American proposal, concrete and detailed, fell on the opening moments of the great conference like a bombshell. The foreign delegates were stunned. No other word describes their feelings. The principal features of the Am erican plan proposed: That for not less than ten years competitive naval building" cease as between Great Britian, the United States and Japan. That all capital ships building or planned be scrapped and a few recently placed in the water be destroyed within three months after ratification of the agreement. That the older ships of each, fleet be also destroyed, reducing the British force to 22 battleships, the American to 18 and the Japanese to ten, each ship to be retained being specifically named. 1 That during the agreement no capij tal craft be laid down except under a detailed replacement scheme included in the proposal which would provide for ultimate equality of the British and American fleets and for a Japanese force at 60 per cent, of the strength of either of the other two. That all other naval craft be similarly provided for in the same ratio, specific figures for aggregate t#n- ( nage in each class being laid down. Xaval Aircraft Disregarded. TViot naval aircraft he disregarded 1 in the scaling dtfwn processes as a problem incapable of solution owing to the -convertibility of commercial aircraft for war purposes. That no naval building of any character be undertaken in any of the three countries on foreign account during the life of the agreement. That no capital ships hereafter laid down exceeded 35,000 tons. That the life of a battleship shall be fixed at 20 years and that ships to be replaced be destroyed before the replacement vessel is more than three 1 months passed completion. That no battleship replacement 1 whatever be undertaken for ten years * from date of the agreement. < That no combat craft be acquired 3 except -by construction and none be so 1 disposed of that it might become part ' of another navy. < That regulations to govern conversion of merchant craft for war purposes be drawn up, because of the < importance of the merchant marine, < "in inverse ratio to the size of naval 1 armaments." ' Those are the outstanding features of the sweeping challenge Secretary ! Hughes presented to the other naval powers. There was complete detail covering every phase of the question, but the essence of the proposal lay in this: that the United tSates offered to go far beyond what she asked ; Britian or Japan to do. viewed from the absolute financial losses involved. The whole American big ship build- ' ing program is' on the stocks, while Great Britian has no capital ships un- i der construction and the Japanese "eight and eight" program is as yet largely on paper. A summary of the results of the agreement, so far as it affects capital ships, was included in the American proposal in the following terms: "It the terms of this agreement are agreed to, then the United States. Great Britian and Japan agree that . their navies, three months after the making of this agreement, shall con- j sist cf the following capital ships: "United States: Maryland. California. Tennessee, Idaho, Mississippi, New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Nevada, Texas, New York, j Arkansas, Wyoming, Utah. Florida, North Dakota, Deleware?IS. Total tonnage, 500,650.
