-' 'They were ready to offer united op

proposed by Great ' Britain as an
umendment" to the Hughes plan for
ihe limitation of naval armament: -'
The submarine, it '. is pointed out,
strategically s a defensive arm. For
years the general board of the navy
flepartment, the general staff of naval
warfareAand the court of last appeal
in matter - pertaining to vnaval start
eby, has contended that , the island
of Guam and the Philippines should
be made submarine bases of 'the first
order. " - '
Since the United States was not to
tWot .Af td .i,rv -ata
necessary . to- offset the handicap : of
distance between San "Francisco and
Manila; -st was insisted that fcny ade
quate plan of national defense must
inclurle RniTie moans of holdintr our.!

The original Hughes proposal took
this argument Into consideration. 1 1t

EXPECT U. S. TO, LEAD

WASHINGTON, Nov.; 16; Amer-:
Washington, Nov. L6. America's
spokesmen will takj the lead irt sugr
gesting a basis for settlement f the
Far Eastern questions, jnst as they
did in the matter of limiting the
navies, of tho worl(i. This positive as
sertion came today, from an official
high in 1 the councils of the adminis
tration.
Whether' Secretary of State Hughes
will hit-straight fom the shoulder on
the delicate and" more ; controversial
questions of the Pacific, as he did in
Saturday's historic naval -session, re
mains to be seen. But .'there is an
American program, definite and cori
crete, and it will bo presented at the
first opportunity.
The statesmen of Europe and
Asia are prepared for it. They are
prepared . for, almost -anything after
the shock of Saturday, They are al
so apprehensive, particularly the
Japanese. The visitors from Tokio
have ."their -own program in the Far
East. It too, is said to be definite and
concrete, and they are far 'more
anxious to get a peep at America's
proposals in. the .orient, than they
were-to get a look at the naval pro
gram. The splitting of the conference into
two distinct parts one dealing with
limitation of naval . armaments, and
the other with Far Eastern questions
may result in the American pro
gram being laid out. in the secrecy
of closed committee room doors. It
is said this point will be determined
at today's second plenary session.

authority, that he has not paid his dues to the union and
that he has declined to do so. The contention of union lead
