GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1921 8 Must End Deadlock and First Big Decision Faces Conference i - 1 ' .... Japan Insists She Must Have 70 Per Cent Naval Status, While TAILORED AT PASHIOti PARK America Says 60 Per Cent. Is Maximum Allowable and May Hold Out For the 5-5-3 Rtflio. .t (If AworUtwl rr. I Washington, Nov. 28 The Washlng ton conference U approaching lt Orst great decision. It was announced tonight by Vice Admiral Kato, chief Japanese naval expert, that Japan seeks a 70 per cent naval ratio. At the same time It was announced with equal authority that the American delegation etood firmly on Secretary Hughes' "5-6-8 ratio" pro posal which means a 80 per cent status for Japan. The conference ultimately mult reconcile these two vlewa or ac cept one or the other to reach an agreement on naval limitations. Vice Admiral Kato said the 70 per cent ratio wad the minimum necessary for Japanese security. The American view Is that 60 per cent for Jupan Is the maximum naval strength that could he accepted In view of American liabilities In the Pacific. Tomorrow the naval experts of the five powers will hold their first meet ing In nearly a week. They have con cluded their Inter-group discussion of the American plan, so far as Its major factors are concerned. Developments today and tonight Indicated that they would return the matter to the con ference for Important mortification. The American experts are satisfied that the original estimates of naval Strength on which the Hughes plan was baaed were correot.; What form the committee report may take la not clear, l'rosumahly the British officers are In accord with the American view in many respects. The attitude of French-Italian experts has not been formally disclosed. Yet there was some Indication that action by the committee of experts to sustain the American estimate of naval faeta and figures was expected. Whether the Japanese experts would submit minority views In that case was , not known. ' In any event It seems likely that the scenes of actli n will be transferred within the week from the experts to .Jhe committee room, where the dele gates of the five powers must weigh questlono of policies as well as of facta. Presumably the Japanese group la pre pared to continue Its argument there lor a "10-)t;-7" fleet ratio Instead of the American "5-5-8" proposal, To what extent Japanese Insistence may be car ried In committee or later before the conference Itself, however, Is still to be disclosed. Vice Admiral Kato, In his statement, declared that the seventy per cent ratio was "the minimum of strength required for Japan s security." He added this comment: "People of all countries must be In full agreement (as to limitation of armaments), otherwise, even though an agreement may bo made, It might create an unpleasant feeling and de feat It purpose." For competent American naval opin ion It may be said with authority, al though high officers cannot be quoted directly, that the "6-5-1" proposal Is viewed as the absolute maximum of concession to Japan In view of Ameri can Interest! and liabilities In the Pa clflo .Naval opinion here holds thai actual eeourlty would require a "10-3" ratio as against Japan owing to dis tances, propitblo causes of conflict and Similar mutters. - - - x . . For that reason, the American "5-5-8" plan la viewed as not only a written assurance of utter lack of any Ameri can purpose In the Paclflo Inimical to legitlmute Jnpeneee Intorosts, but as an assumption of a similar friendly at titude on the part of Japan. On no oth er theory, to naval officers, would the proposal be warranted, backed as It In by the offor to scrap or discontinue more than twice the amount of new tonnuge Japan la asked to abandon. Heference by Vice Admiral Kato to Japan's limited steel output and ship building facilities as warranting ' her desire for a 70 per cent fleet status recalled the original view taken of Secretary Hughes' "6-6-3" ratio pro posal. That ratio. It la asserted, goes far beyond any attempt at the almost Impossible task of settling down In figures estimates of naval strength relatively, It Is based . on the whole situation of the two powers chiefly concerned.

If Japan has a right to exlet aa a nation "she must be allowed to draw from China as fully and freely aa her legitimate needs gi, the raw materials necessary for her national development," Baron Kanda, member of the Japanese dele gation, declared In an address tonight before the Cosmos club. The advan tages of such an arrangement would not accrue to Japan alone, he assorted, and drew for his audience a world-plo- tore of the China of the future "trans formed under the Influence of modern industrialism. Julian, he said. Is waking up to the "simple and significant" axiom of busi ness "that the true business man gives satisfaction to hie customers also." "What Japan .wants," Baron Kanda said, "Is a prosperous and stable China, well organised and able to both buy and produce, an equal opportunity there with all nations for commerce and Industry." The progress made by the confer ence he described as "gratifying." add ing that "simplicity, honor and honesty seem to characterise the whole pro cedure under the courageous leadership of your statesmen." Notwithstanding the apparent hltcn. due mainly to Japan's proposal of modification (of the naval proposal)," the. speaker xald. "I rannot but look with the greatest confidence for the ultimate success of the conference for the happy eeltlmnt of ihls question." t III X 4 Ak V..THI.I.AWAL OF , TIIOOI'S KOT VMKHH B TltEATY Washington, Nov. 18. China's case for the withdrawal nf foreign troops, not sanctioned by treaty from Chinese territory, was presented before the far eastern committee of the Washington conference by the Chinese delegation at today's session. Consideration of the subject went over until tomorrow. Coupled with the Chinese proposal was a request for the removal of un authorized police stations, and tele- irraph and wireless Installations. These have been grouped with the question of foreign troops for simultaneous set tlement by the conference. The Chinese delegation. It Is under stood, baaed Its argument virtually on that presented at Versailles by the Chinese delegation of the peace con ference, but Included data oovering events of the past two years. At this stage of the conference, said Dr. Alfred Be, the Chinese minister here, who presented the case today, China confined It, requeet to en croachments on her sovereignty . not sanctioned by treaty. When the proper place on the agenda was reached, how ever, he added, the delegates were ex pected to make Its plea for the re moval of . foreign legation guards, troops stationed along the Peklng Idtikden railroad to protect communi cations from the capital to the sea, and certain other troops and foreign police authorised nfte,r the Boxer uprisings Conroy Navy Kleven'e Head Annapolis, Md Nov. 28.

FEARS SHIPYARDS OF U. S. (8, AModtted frm.i .. Washington, Nov. 28, To properly safeguard the Interests of the Jap anese empire the ratio of 70 per cent In tonnage of capital ships la neces sary, VIce.Admlral KanJI Kato, presi dent of the Japanese naval college and chief naval advisor to the Japanese delegation to the Washington confer-, ence, said to the Associated Press to night In an Interview, Vice Admiral Kato, who Is regarded a the leading Japanese authority on naval strategy, declared that the main Issue for the conference on limitation of armament was the reduction of arm ament burdens. 'Japan accept this Issue' whole heartedly," he continued, "and 1 quite prepared to scrap capital ships under construction and old battleships. The naval ratio Is a question of grave concern to the security of the nations. hope the United States will accept the 70 per cent for Japan, which Is the minimum of strength required for her security." The vice-admiral remarked that the agreement to limit armament must be accomplished by a thorough under, standing of all those participating. The main Issue In the limitation of armament, a I have stated above, Is to relieve the burden of the nations. Japan has shown her hearty accord to the Idea, and has agreed to the wholesale scrapping of capital ships under construction, as well as old ships. This practically means that the great purpose of the conference haa been attained, because It Indicates that In the future there will come about huge reductions In naval expenditures. There Is another point to which I would like to calj your attention. When you think about the sacrifice made by the nations represented at this con ference It seem clear that the degree of sacrifice la very great for Japan. mean that It will be felt more keen ly by u than by the United States because our Industrial and shipbuild ing power eannot be compared to that of America." In conclusion Vtce-Admlral Kato csmtlnued that the capacity of Japan to replace her warships was Infinitely less than that of the United States. Japan, he said, would be quite unable with her present shipbuilding and In dustrial strength, and taking Into c oount the paucity of her raw material. more especially steel, to engage suc cessfully In competition a to the re placement of ships. For instance," he said, "do you real ize that the yearly output of ateel in Japan Is only 800,000 ton, whereas In the United States the yearly output Is almost 83,000,000 tons? Under these circumstances It Is quite impossible for Japan to think of entering Into any race with any strong Industrial power In case any difficulty should unhappily arise In the future. It would almost be better to abolish all capital ships entirely. It would certainly be fairer to Japan, which, In asking -for (oven ships to every 10 of the other great Industrial powers, I merely put ting forth a request that seems to m to be smlnently fair and reasonable. based a It I upon all of the Questions which enter into the maintenance of a navy.
