THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1921. 10 1 I 1 ! I 3 1 1 I ' 1 1 Mi 21 JAP PROPOSAL NOT PRESENTED Modification Suggestions Probably Will Never Be Presented to Conference. By HARRY I.. ROGERS. Iiitest.atlonal IVews Staff Correspondent. "Washington Nov. 19. Japan's much-talked-of proposal for modification of the Hughes naval plan has never been submitted officially to the Conference on Limitation of Armament, it was learned on high authority tonight. Furthermore, it is extremely doubtful if that proposal will ever be submitted formally. Baron Kato's much-discussed sugges tion that Japan be allowed a greater ratio in the apportionment of capital ships apparently was in the nature Ol a trial baloon, sent up to ascer tain whether the United States was prepared to take a really firm stand behind the Hughes' plan. The heavy gun bombardment which resulted, hav ing left little doubt on this subject, it is regarded as extremely unlikely that the Baron will pursue his experiments to the point of making formal propo sals before the committee. , Inasmuch as the Japanese suggestion apparently was made only to the press, the conference will not be put to the necessity of taking cog nizance of it, though the moral effect of the unqualified. If informal state ment, it drew from the American delegation as to the American attitude toward modification of essential prin ciples of the Hughes plan is expected to have the desired effect upon all the delegations. JAPANESE CONTENTIONS. If Japan should do the unexpected and carry her objection to the Hughes plan to the conference, it is practi cally Gertain she will argue that sev eral Japanese warrtips now actually in commission were reckoned as only partially completed vessels by those who worked out tl9 present strength of the three great navies of the world in formulating ihs ratios for the Hughes plan. Such a contention, it is understood, would be disputed Dy the American experts, who are understood to have data to nullify it. The American cal culations, it was stated officially to night, were made upon information gathered with the greatest care, and the American delegation is entirely sat isfied that the Hughes proposal is eminently liberal to Japan. The fact3 concerning the Japanese warship Mutsu, which is the vessel Japan is most eager to retain, have been care fully investigated it was stated. Further evidence that the conference has reached the "trial balloon" stage is furnished in the persistently reit erated suggestion that Great Britain would propose the so-called ship-a-year plan in lieu of the ten year naval holiday contemplated in the Hughes plan. This suggestion under stood to have emanated from semi official British sources and was vol uminously published. "When the United States made it pla!n, however, that this Government is unalterably opposed to any plan which would vitiate the naval holiday features of the Hughes proposal, the ship-a-year suggestion was officially repudiated by the British delegation.

United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Nov. 19. An association of nations to effectuate universal disar mament was urged by the National Council of Labor tonight in a manifesto on Anglo-American relations. The council also oposed renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. The manifesto welcomed the Hughes program for jv-10-year naval holiday, assuring the whote hearted support of British labor to insure Great Britain's rart in the plan. It tisas pointed out that Angio-Ameri can relations after the war f come increasingly exposed to fiction over Ireland, limitation ot srvme the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and peace settlements. . V. nf a The council declared m favor of a satisfactory" settlement with Ireland, safeguarding only the minority ele ments and British security. . Equality of economic PPr;"n"t was urged for al Inationals, "whether in Africa, the Mesopotamia oil fields, pr the Panama canal zone." British labor leaders , generally view the Hughes program as a "splendid ex pression of a real desir for peace. Temporary unemployment of several thousand workmen as a result or sus pension of naval construction already affected,, has caused no particular alarm, labor leaders? taking the view that the resultant increase' in manufac turing and agricultural enterprises will overshawod anxi falling! off an naval shipbuilding.
