POWERS ACCEPT J
U. S. PROPOSALS
Washington, Nov. 15.?The sweeping
American proposal for reduction
of naval armament became the eccepted
fundamental policy of the armament
conference today by the un ini-j
mous assent of the live great powers.
F^condine the bold ledd of the Unit- (
ed States the accredited spokesmen oi
Great Britain, Japan, Italy and'
i iance rose in (heir places at today's
plenary session of the conference and
one after another declared the readiness
of their governmnts to accept i
the American proposal in spirit and
in principle but with the reservation
of a right to suggest modifications of
detail.
Then the problem of these details, <
which everyone realizes may yet occupy
the prolonged attention of the <
conference and involve the success or (
failure of the whole plan, was re- i
ferred, for preliminary examination to i
m mil tee of five technical naval advisers,
one from each of the big five i
powers. Within this committee first 1
of all Great Britain will ask for a 1
further reduction of the limit proposed
on submarine tonnage. Japan J
will endeavor to prove her right to a i
greater ratio of naval strength than
has been suggested for her, and s
France and Italy will request that 1
their naval questions be considered <
along with tfiose of the three stronger i
naval powers embraced in the Ameri- i
can pian.
Thus the diplomacy of the American
delegation has won its first victory
in the conference but still finds
itself confronted with questions of
admitted importance and delicacy
whose solution is requisite to attainment
of the purposes for which the
nations were called into consulta-1
tipn. I
While the technical advisers wres- j
tie with the armaments problem and
the delegates themselves continue informal
conversations on the American
plan the" other big subject, of the conference,
the Far Eastern situation,
will be given its first .forward formal
consideration at an executive meeting
tomorrow of the delegates of all the
nine interested nations. Tonight every
one of the delegations was in a waiting
attitude toward the Far Eastern
questions and if any nation had a
comprehensive plan of settlement to
present at the outset it was carefully
concealed.
The lead in accepting the principle
t>f the American naval proposal was
t?ken in today's meetirife of the conference
by Great. Britain, whose historical
naval supremacy would eventually
^ive ^ way^to^a^i quality ^of
Balfour, head of the British delegation,
announced the British acceptance
in a speech "that stirred the emotions
of delegates and spectators and 1
started a discussion in which diplomatic
cards were laid on the table in
a manner unprecedented in international
conferences. j
While the hall still echoed with applause
for the speech of the British j
statesman the chief delegate of .lapan,
Admiral Baron Kato. was on his
root f a nlorltrn tV*o vnurlinncc f tVin
island empire of the East to proceed
with "sweeping redurtions" in her
fleet. Senator Schanzer of Italy and
Premier Briand of France sdned in
their turn a pledge of cooperation in
the program laid down by the United '
States. 1
Mr. Balfour alone made specific 1
mention of the modifications that (
would be suggested as the negotia- :
tions progressed. Reduced of the fig- !
ui-e set as a maximum of submarine 1
tonnage was the project on which he (
indicated his government would be 1
ntost insistent, but later members of
the British group elaborated the sug- (
gestions they are to put forward I
somewhat as follows: '
First: Reduction of the submarine 1
tonnage the United States, Great \
Britain and the United States and ?r>4,- '
000 tons for Japan. It was indicated
that Great Britain would urge cutting '
this in half, 45,000 tons for the two 1
powers and a similar reduction for <
Japan. In addition the British pro- 1
posed to limit the size of submarines '<
in such fashion as to confine them to '
defensive operations and make them
unusable oversea. '
Second: That to protect future <
knowledge and skill in capital war
ship construction, each nation retain
one capital ship building yard capable
of producing a ship a year and scrap
all other warship building facilities.
Third: That alowance be made in i
the American replacement schedule of
light craft such as light cruisers and
gunboats not of particular use in any
naval offensive or defensive operations
for the adequate policing of the
seas by all naval powers.

SUBMARINES NOW j
CLAIM ATTENTION
Washington, Nov. 15. ? While j
Arthur Balfour, head of the British
delegation, did not go into detaHs at'
today's plenary session of the arma-1
menu conference as to modification in'
the American plan desired by the:
j-sii.isn, it was explained later for the
British naval experts that as to submarines
vhey believed that not more
than 45,000 tons each in the aggregate
iff these craft should be allowed
to Great Britain and the United
States and a proportionate reduction
of the allowance of the American program
should be applied to .lapan. The
British naval experts thought, it was
said, that the 90,000 tons' allowance
of the American plan was too large.
In addition, it was said, the British
experts considered it essential that
a limit be put ofi the si7.e of individual
submarines as they had been admirably
proposed by Secretary
Uugiies for battleships. The purpose
it was said was to confine submarines
to purely defensive work and make
them incapable of use overseas.
"If you stop building big battleships,
you should stop building submarines,"
it was said.
It WAS ascprto/l tliaf Kirr ono
w??w ovu^ynifc j
submarines, especially affected Great
Britain's overseas possessions. It was
miphasized also that Great Britain
regarded the submarine ,4as /> very
.indesirable form of naval assets ivivay,'
and contrary to the principles .. *
human warfare if there is such a
;hing."
Touching Mr. Balfour's suggestions
o naval shipbuilding, it was said
;hat the British views were that there
should be a single building yard or so,
retained by each nation, capable of
.urning out one ship a year, instead j
>f keeping up all the big warship
suilding yards ready to.start up at!
mtfe at the end of ten y?ars or any 1
>thcr time, if relations were strained.!
Adoption of the British modification
>n this point would involve heavy reluctions
in warship building facili:ies
of Great Britain and the United
States, it was said, and proportionate
reduction for other nations. The i
scheme would apply, it was added,!
inly to warship construction -facilities.;
ind not to yards doing commercial;
.vork.
Limitation of commercial yards
vould be a retrograde movement, it
yas said.
Great Britain, it was further said,
,vas anxious that any limitations as
:o auxiliary craft leave a sufficient
force for tne policing of the seas, a
.ask which the British were described
is having taken largely upon thenir .
SgSSi
n distant sesls, it was said, with all
lavies doing their share of the work.
There was no desire by the British, it
,vas said, to maintain such vessels for
iffensive or defensive naval opera- j
.ions but only for police work at seas, j
"You need police, evidently, even in

WILL TALK OF
i LAND ARMAMENT
[i Washington. Nov. 15.?France took
t the first step towards bringing the
y question of land armaments of armk . ,
f before the Washington conference,
pr In concurring for France in the csn
sential principles of the American
_ proposals regarding naval hsh.
ments, Premier Briand touched upon
s the army problem as far more vital to
' France. By agreement M. Briand
probably at a public session of the
conference laler this week will present
"most fully the views of France
, with l-egard to the subject of land
' armaments." There was no intimae
tion in the remarks of M. Briand that
1 he had a definite plan for reduction of
armaments to suggest, lie did say,
V however, he was satisfied that the conf
ference conferees would be convinced
" "that France, after the necessities of
- safety and life have been adequately
a secured, proposes no thought whatr
ever of disturbing the peace of the
d world."
M. Briand's statements were coa
strued generally as showing hi- pur'
lose to explain fully why France regards
it necessary to retain the great
i in her armies. As the naton
- with the largest army, the premier
P nointed out today it was appropriate
r for her to take that question up. hut
neither at the conference nor in any
, oher quarter is there suggestion that
t any such sweeping proposal for reduc
2 tion ot armies is to be expected is the
naval plan put forth by the United
