Tonight every MM of the delegation! waa in a wait ing attitude toward the far eaatem queationa, and If any nation had a eomprehenaive plan of aettlenient to praaent at the outaet it waa carefully concealed. The lead in accepting the principle of the American naval propoaal waa taken in today's meeting of tha con ference by Great Britiaa. whoae Mo toric naval aapremacy would event ually flea way to an equality of strength with the United Statee, if the plan became an actuality. Arthur J. Balfour, head of the Britiah , tion, announced the Britiah i ia a apeech that atirrad the of delegatee and spectators and a diaeuaeion la which diplo ards worn laid oa the table la a manner unprecedented in interna tional eonfaraneaa. Britiah Fear 8ubaariaaa While the hall (till echoed with ap plause for the speech of the British statesman, the chief delegate of Jap an, Admiral Baron Kato, was on his fast to pled** the readiness of the is land empire of the east to proceed with "sweeping reductions'* in her fleet. Senator Schsnxer for Italy and Frees ter Briand for Franee added in their turn a pledge of co-operation <n the program laid down by the United States. Mr. Balfour alone made specific mention of the modifications that would be suggested as the negotia tions progressed. Reduction of the figure set as a maximum of submarine tonnage was the project on which he Indicated his government would be most insistent, but later members of the British group elaborated the sug gestions they are to pat forward eeaasrwhat as follows: First: Reduction of the submarine tonnage the United States, Great Rritian and Japan would be allowed to maintain In the proposed limited The figures in Secretar) proposal were 90,000 tons in for Great Britian and the United States and MjOOO tons for Japan.

Tha suggest* ad Ineraaaa will probably relate to all claaaaa of ahipa, including submarines. A strong tmpreeaio* prevails thai the Britiah propoeala for limitation of Um atae of submarines will not prove acceptable to American naval officer*, h to wall known that Am eric aa naval opto ion ragarda tha aa a potential war weapon vahM to the United States net to ba surrendered, on any HIlWlll.
