American and" Bnytisk Naval Experts Stand Together on "5-5-3 Plan and f Regard Japanese Proposal as Whol ly Unacceptable. '"'" v Washington, Nov 30. (Br the As sociated . Press,) Japan's proposal for a 70 per cent fleet, as necessary to her national security instead of a 60 per cent fleet, haa been formally presented to the United States and Great.

In the opinion' of some of the American delegates the situation if( delicate but not without hope that the Japanese ultimately will accept the original plan. - ; The seriousness of the turn of af fairs,- in the opinion of the Ameri cans, is . that Japan in persisting in her request for a "10-10-7" ratio makes a stroke at the fundamental idea on which Secretary Hughes' pro posal is based, . : Japen's proposal, it was" declared, was based not on a calculation of the strength of the existing Ameri can, British and Japanese fleets, but Upon her estimate of necessity for national security It was pointed out among the, Americans and - British that" if considerations of national se curity, were: to he substituted for a continuation of fleets at reduced ton nage but in the same ratio as now exists, the whole basis of the con ference would be upset. . t ' .t On the. basis of national security, it was said, neither the United States nor Great' Britian would agree to the 60 per cent which the Hughes' plan would allow.to Japan.
