American Eeserratlon. The reservation, presented In writ ing- by the American representatives and accepted by all the others, declar es that the American attitude toward Pacific mandates shall not be affected by the treaty and that the treaty pro vision for a four-power consultation on questions arising over the Pacific Islands shall not be construed as ap plying to any problems which In in ternational law are only of domestic concern. >o Formal Ceremony.

Washington, Dec. 13.?It now ap peara likely that there will be lour or more treaties to send to the Senate when the arms conference Is over, and some of the Democratic leaders want to see all of them before they decide on a course of action. There Is a growing impression that the na val ration and the Far Eastern de claration and perhaps also the agree ment on naval bases In the Pacific, will be written into formal treaties which may be pending in the Senate simultaneously with the four-power pact and that relating to the mandat ed Islands. President Harding also hopes that some sort of an agreement will be reached before the conference adjourns for future meetings to talk over international problems. It Is not proposed to write such an agreement Into treaty form, but It may be com municated to the Senate aB part of the general accomplishments of the con ference . Announcement by the Washington conference of agreement on the "5-6-3" naval ratio between Great Britain, Ja pan and the United States.loomed to night as probable before tne week-end. A plenary session for the purpose Is expected by some delegates. J Japan haB indicated conditional agreement to the "6-5-S" ratio. Her acceptance was coupled, however, with a request to substitute the new battleship Mutsu for the old 12-lnch gun ship Setsu In the list of ships she would retain under the Hughes pro posal . Jipiitw Decision. The decision of the Japanese gov ernment was communicated Informally to Mr. Hashes and Mr. Balfour fby Admiral Baron Kato and was discuss ed today by the full American delega tion at a conference attended by As sistant Secretary Roosevelt.

After this meeting It i was said that only "one very small point remained unsettled.

The few business men who have stood out against the prow-) ers' organization are certain to feel the effects of their attitude- once the growers get on their feet through co~ operation, while the merchants and bankers with vision, who have helped durtgig the campaign, are expected to reap rewards through increased trade from association members. | n counties groups of grow ,ve proposed to boycott unfrlend I ly ?yores but have been urged bv or .0 noid oil and give such bus lneya men time to study the proposi tion tmoie thoroughly, convinced that 11 ttMy do they will stand behind the growers In their gigantic efforts to Ike tuudltiuus ul ?
