the United States, 500,000 tons for
Great. Britian and 300,000 tons for
Japan. 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.
"Great Britian: Royal Sovereign,

"Japan: Negato, Hinga, Ise,
