BY DAVID LAWRENCE Staff Correspondent of The Jiewa. Copyright. 1921, by JVews Publishing Co. Washington. Dec. 3. Absolute conti- dence prevails among the highest offi cials of the United States Government that the Japanese cabinet at Tokio will approve the American naval program as recommended by the Japanese dele gation following the conference be tween Secretary Hughes, Arthur Bal four and Baron Kato on Friday. The situation will remain unchanged matters were proceeding favorably Those who have heard Secretary Hughea explain the American position on naval ratios and who know what he has said in the private conferences feel confident that any favorable tone given to the situation at this time can only be based upon the fact that the American delegation has stood pat and insisted upon an unqualified "yes or 'no" before going much further in the discussion of naval matters Just how much of a part the ques- f or at least three or four days while , tion of fortifications or the renewal of the lenethv cablegrams sent by the Japanese delegation early today jour ney to Tokio over the slow cable routes of the Pacific. Those who have been unable to under stand the apparent slowness of the ne gotiations at Washington need only make inquiries concerning the exact time it takes to get a reply from Tokio by cable in these days of congested communication. In the first place the Japanese put their messages in code. To put a cablegram of ordinary length the Anglo-Japanese Alliance played in the meeting between Baron Kato, Sec retary Hughes and Arthur Balfour is difficult to conjecture but unofficial in formation is to the effect that neither of the problems was taken up in de tail. Mr. Hughes would never discuss fortifications in detail without refer ring the matter to the committee of naval experts. It is quite possible that Baron Ivato did ask Mr. Hughes several questions particularly as to what America's intentions in general in code takes several nours. lo encipner were ,vith respect to the building up a message describing m detail so im- f nr(,snt fortifications in the Pacific. is now only $2.85. "If any investor is bent on acquiring securities of this class, there is no reaJ son why he should pay the promoters of this new skin game a profit of 586 per cent on each bond," Commissioner Wadej declares. "His certified check for $18.85 should purchase approximate ly 70,000 marks' instead of the 10,00 of fered." The people offering these bonds for sale very frankly admit that it is a gamble, but they produce statements yesterday morning at the request of j;rom tne Polish c'onsul general and oth me Ai.iencan consuiine. il was buucu his presence in Washington was de sired n connection with the investi gation of his transactions with the United States Shipping Board.

In other words it is represented that if the mark gets back to par, and the bonds are redeemed at par in American money the buyer will get about $2,003 for the $19.85 invested. Investors should not lose sight cl ex change the value of the mark is so low Mr. Morse declared he felt his cable- nd no $19-S5 which is the figure at ram yesterday to Mr. .uaugnert , m which th are being offered and th which he said he would return to Ameriy when wanted, was somewhat vague, and in today's message he ask ed permission to consult Professor thev are being offered and there is very little probability that the mark wiil go higher." declares a statement issued by the Insurance Department. nortant a conference as that which Messrs. Balfour, Hughes and Kato had on Friday probably took most of Fri day night. The cable experts say that in ordinary times it takes at least 36 hours for a reply to be obtained to a message sent to Tokio.

Such a question Secretary Hughes could readily answer with the state ment that of course the United States in reducing her naval strength was not planning to build up naval fortifica tions greater than those she already possessed. This could be seized upon with gratification by the Japanese dele gates as an informal assurance war ranting Japan in accepting the Amer ican naval ratio in entirety. Mr. Hughes would not hesitate to remove any apprehensions the Japanese may had if it led to a clearing of the air. STICK TO FUNDAMENTALS. But of one thing this correspondent has been assured.

Some experts have gone so far as to calculate that a pledge from the United States not . to build up present fortifications is as good to the Japanese as getting the 10-10-7 ratio which they have been seeking. If this is true, the Japanese are attaching far more importance to fortifications than are the American naval experts who admit that the pres ent fortifications in the Far East are hardly effective even for a navy such as America was planning before she proposed the conference plan of reduc tion of naval armament. So America can well afford to give Japan the as surance concerning . future fortifica tions.

Joe Kelly, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was CONTENTION OF EXPERTS OVER NAVAL TONNAGE Questions Submitted . by Japanese Experts on the Hughes Proposals. AMERICAN ANSWERS Reasons Given for the Adop tion of the 5-5-3 Ratio by United States. Washington, Dec. 3. (By the Asso ciated Press) The Associated Press it able today to present some of the of ficial figures involved in the exchanges between the American and Japanes experts over the "5-5-3" ratio proposal and the Japanese counter claim for a "10-10-7" status. In submitting their original ques tionnaire to the American experts ask ing explanation of the Hughes pro posal on seven specific points, the Jap anese officers included this question: "Explain the relation between the re .placement ratio of "50-50-30" and th existing ratio of "60-50-30," respective Iy, of Great Britain, the United States and Japan." This was supplemented by the in quiry: "Explain means by which the exist ing strength of the British navy hai been calculate as 600,000 tons." In answering, the American experts said: "Although Great Britain has not laid the keels of her four new Hoods, and the Japanese have not laid the keels of the Takao, and the Atago, they have spent money on all. In order to be entirely fair, therefore, these ships were included in the list of their re spective nations with the consequent increase in their relative strengths. When this was done, the tonnage measure of naval strength between the United States and Japan was as follows: United States 1,118,650; Japan 588.S00; ratio, United States 100 pef cent: Japan 53 per cent." THE KATIO CALCULATION. As to the "60-50-30" existing strength ratio calculation, the American answer explained: "The war conditions caused Great Britain to suspend her building pro gram. In consequence, her ships are relatively older in type than those of the United States and Japan. This fact was considered in allotting her 604.- 000 tons for the present, but the stan ard allotted her on replacements was 500,000 tons." In explaining, as asked by the Jap- . . . . -a I a. 1 i M anese, . tne metnoo oi calculation or. existing strength, - the .American ex perts said that the basis taken was keels actually laid down as of Novem ber 11, the date of the opening of the conference. The, further explanations given above, however, snow that this was not held rigidly against Great Britain and Japan in the American plan, but only -against the United States. Money spent by Great Britain and Janan on ships not yet laid down was figured into the existing strength of those navies but not into American existing strength. SPECIFIC LIST OF SHIPS. The Jaoanese experts also required a specific list of the ships of the United States and Japan, on which the calcula tion of existing strength was based, the degree of completion allowed for each ship building and asked whether differences in methods of figuring ton nage used by the three nations wera allowed for in the calculations. This information was supplied in the Amer ican reply with the assurance that the tonnage figures of each foreign ship had been re-calculated on the American basis to arrive at a fair comparison. On the basis of these figures and also using Japanese estimates or Jap anese and American strength, as fur nished by the Japanese experts in memorandum, the American experts then set out the naval "relativities ol the two Powers in tables as follows: RELATIVE STRENGTH.

Its would be no Rappe's death usually resulted from the application ot external rorce The prosecution contended that the injury was the. result of an attempt by Arbuckle to attack Miss Rappe during a party in his hotel room during the af ternoon of Septemoer o. A technical examination by a medical commission of three appointed by the court to examine Miss Rappe's bladder showed that a condition of chronic in f lama tion existed, according to the re port by the commission to tne coun and jury. Gavin McNab, defense at- torney, declared tne report auwiuicij corroborated" the deposition 01 xji. Maurice Rosenburg, Mho treated ..vus Rappe supposedly for a bladder disor der in 1913. Finger prints on the doors of Ar buckle's room were said by Heinrich to be those of Arbuckle and miss rvapye and indicated, according to the testimo- ny that Arbuckle attempted, presume-; bly, to force the young woman away from the door. Dr E E. Rumwell, who attended miss' Rappe after the alleged injury, testified for the defense that Miss Rappe told him she was "some what intoxicated" and "did not know what happened to her." Arbuckle, himself, was the pivotal witness for the defense. He said at the time he is alleged to have inflicted in jury on Miss Rappe he was actually endeavoring to assist her during a per iod of illness. He did not know that Miss Rappe was in his room where the attack was alleged to have taken place, until he found her in pain on the floor of his bathroom, he said.

The following note was attached to these tables: "In the tables as given under two and three, the Mutsu is included, as of the Japanese tables as being com pleted and the Japanese- tonnage of in completed capital ships as given in their memorandum is raised to con form to the American standards of measurement in tonnage." In connection with the different methods of calculating tonnage, the American answer said: "The different methods of estimating tonnage values were carefully consid ered by our bureau of construction and renair. Each ship was carefully gone over and made to reconcile witn me American list so that ships of all thrte navies. United Sstates, Great Britain and Japan, were on the same basis for estimating capital ship tonnage." The Japanese experts asked the source of American figures on Jap anese tonnage in the original Hughes proposal. They were told these figures were taken from "British lists" and raised to conform to American standards. MR.
