HUGHES BROUGHT ' FRANCE BACK IN LINE ARE PUBLISHED Nation Not Asked to Make Sacrifice Equal to That of Other Nations but Merely to Help Toward Success of World Limitation f Navies. J0UBL w ASHIXGTO.N. D. C Dec. 20. (By the Associated Press.) A communique issued after the meeting- today of the sub-committee on naval limitations said: The adjourned meeting- of the sub committee on naval limitation took or failure of these efforts to reduce the heavy burden of naval armament. "In dealing- with Great Britain and Japan we have taken facts as they .?re. We ha'e avoidci an academic discussion of national needs and as pirations which in the nature of things could not be realized. It has place this morning. The chairman- been Pinted out that ,he ratio ot read the following communications between him and M. Briand: "December 1 My Dear M. Briand: In view ot your distinguished service on me conference of limitation of armament and of my responsibilities as chairman. I venture to address to you this personal word. I am happy to say that the conversations between the United States. Great Britain and Japan as to the proposal which I made on bthalf of the American govern ment at the opening of the confer ence with respect to capital ships, have resulted In a provisional agree ment. "(jreat Britain and Japan have ac cepted the naval ratio as proposed and the reduction of capital ships with such modifications as do not s-riounly affect the principle involved. Japan keepn the Mutsu and scraps the Sr-lsu. The I'nited States finishes two ships the Colorado and the Washington, now about 90 per cent completed, and scraps the North Da kota and Delaware. Great Britain will hiilld two new ships and scrap four, towit: the Krin. King George V. Centurion and Ajax. America Srrip:; SO .Xblffta. "The result is that the United States will scrap 30 ships, that is. 13 of the Mips under construction and 17 In stead of l.ri of tile older ships, leav ing the number of ships the same as under the original proposal with a tonnage of fiH.i.WIU tons instead of AOH.ttnu tons. Thus, the United States 'wraps 3:L'.nno tons of her ships (ex clusive of her dreadnoughts . Great Kritaln and Japan scrap to an equiva lent extent. Japan retains the same number of ships as proposed and wraps 17 as proposed, her new ton nace being 313,300, instead of about 30H.0D0. Great Britain scraps 22.00 tons more than originally proposed, leav ing her tonnage 6S2.000 instead of M4.400. her excecs being allowed In view of the age of her existing ships. .The new limits are very little differ ent from thiVe proposed, being S2B.OO0 tin.i for the United States and Great Britain. 350,000 tons for Japan. The naval holiday as lo capital ships is 'sgreed on except for the construction of the ships above mentioned. In lmrt, under the original American proposal, there were lo be scrapped hy the three powers fi cspltal fight ing ship, built and building, with a tonnage (taking ships laid down as .completed) of 1.878,000 tons. Under Hie present Arrangement, on the sam basis nf calculation there are to be scrapped 08 capital fighting ship with a tonnage of l.Sfil.liOO tons. "Yon will thus observe that there has been simply a slight readjustment in the three navies with respect to tr.e whips retained. bi;t tnat the sacri fices proposed by the American gov ernment have substantially been wade, and the principle as laid down is being carried out so far as these three powers are concerned. "The agreement, however, as to the number, of ships lo be retained by them is dependent on an annronrlatc agreement with France and Italy with respect to their capital ohips Italy i desirous to reduce her capital ships, hecause of the obvious requirements of her economic life, to the lowest possible basis, and there will be not the slightest difficulty in making an agreement with Italy If we can reach a suitable understanding with France "You will observe that the attitude of France will determine the success strength in capital ships is that which exists and that it Is futile to desire a better one. for It cannot be obtained if nations with abundant resources build against each other .in competi tion. "The pre - dreadnougn ts possessed by the three powers are to be scrapped without any suggestion of replace ment, and there has been a reduction of over 40 per cent of the naval strength represented by dreadnoughts a&d super-dreadnought Now France I. as seven dreadnought with a ton nage of 164.600. Reducing in the same proportion as the United State has reduced, her tonnage of capital ships will he fixed at 102.000, or if the pre dreadnoughts of France were taken rto calculation on her side, although omitted on the side of the United States, the total tonnage of France's capital ships being taken at 221,000. a reduction on the same basis would reduce France to 136,000 tons. Same Sacrifice Not Asked. "This would be the sacrifice of France If she made the same sacri fices made by the other powers. We do not ask this. We are entirely will Irfg that France should have the bene fit of an increased tonnage which would preclude the necessity of her scrapping h.'r dreadnoughts; that is to say. her present strength Jn dread t. oughts is about 164.000 tons, and there is not the slightest objection to allowing this and an increase over this, or a tolal of 175.000 tons, which would be more than "0.000 tons over what she would have on the basis of relative strength as It exists. "If it be said that France desires a greater relative strength, the obvious answer is that this would be Impos sible of attainment If such an agree ment as we are now proposing werf not made, the United States and Great Britain would very shortly have navies of over a million tons, more than six to one. as comvared with France, and France would not be In a position to better herself, much less by any possible endeavor to obtain such a relative strength as has been suggested. In short, the proposed agreement is tremendously in favor of France by reducing navies of pow its who not only are able to build hut whose ships are '-actually in course of construction, to a basis far more favorable to France than would otherwise be attainable. The pro posed agreement really doubles the relative strength of the French navy. 'In these circumstances, I feel that the suggestion that has been made lhat France should build ten new capital ships In replacement with a tonnage of :;00.000 tons or more sug gests a programme of such magnitude ait to rat.-; the greatest difficulties. "In fact. 1 regret to say that after canvassing the matter and taking the best Information I can obtain, 1 am compelled to conclude that It would not be possible on this basis to carry through the agreement. rCconomlr Rnrrfeo Cited. "I need not point out to you our great desire. which you have so eloquently expressed, that the eco nomic burden of armament should be lifted. It is not against the interests of France that we express the hope that her industry and resources will be devoted to economic recuperation and the enhancement of her prosper ity rather be expended In the building of fighting ships. "The particular situation of France with respect to land armament you have vividly portrayed, but that 'If points, as It seems to us. to the very I ) L great importance of reduction in naval armament. At this time, when we are anxious to aid France In full recovery of her economic life, It would , be most disappointing to be advised j that she was contemplating putting , hundreds of millions Into battleships. "I have spoken to you thus frank ly, because of my deep appreciation of your friendship and of your solici tude for the success of the efforts we are making, and In the hope that the present matter, which represents ; perhaps the most critical position yet reached in the conference, may be ad- ln.r.H r n a m a t i f t ct Hi- v haai. T re peat that the provisional agreement ! reached with Great Britain and Japan, binges upon an ' appropriate agree ment with France, and I cannot too strongly urge the most careful con sideration of all the matters to which I have taken the liberty to allude. Permit me to assure you of my high est respect and of 'the keen desire rhat we entertain In America that you should visit us again at an early date. "CHARX.ES E. HUGHES." Hrply la Made by Briand. "London. Dec. 18. My Dear Mr Hughes: At the moment of my de parture for London. Mr. Ilerrick handed me your friendly telegram In regard to the difficulties which have arisen in the naval disarmament com mission in reference to the tonnage of capita ships which have been asked for by the French delegation. "You fear that the maintenance of this French request may have as Its effect a hindrance to the agreement between the five powers. "The will of the French govern ment Is to do everything which is compatible with the care of the vital interests of France with a view to reconcile our points' .of view." 'In the question of naval arma ment, the preoccupation of France is not the of fensivejpolnt of view, but uniquely tne qeiensive point or view. "With regard to the tonnage of capital ships, that is to say attacking ships, which are the most costly, I have given instructions to our dele gates in the sense which you desire. I am certain that I shall be sustained by my parliament In this view. "But so far as the defensive ships are concerned (light cruisers, torpedo boats and submarines), it would be Impossible for the French govern ment, without putting itself in con tradiction with the vote of the cham bers to accept reduction correspond ing to those which we accept for, cap ital ships under this formal reserve which you will certainly understand. To Restrict Navies, la Aim. "The Idea which dominates the Washington conference is to restrict naval armaments which are offensive and opstly. But I do not believe that it Is In the programme to deruy to a nation like France, which has a large extent of coast and a great number of distant colonies, the Ciswe.ntlal means of defending its communica tions and Its security. "I am certain, my dear Mr. Hughes, that you will appreciate the effort of conciliation which we are making to respond to your request. "I be-g you to kindly accept my cordial remembrances and the. ardent wish which I form for the complete and striking success of the confer ence over which you preside with no much authority and brilliance. "BRIAND." After s discussion it was decided to call a meeting of the full committee on, the limitation of armament for tomorrow at 11 A. M. The sub-committee then adjourned. It was later announced at the state' department that the meeting could not be held until Thursday in order to give the delegates time to prepare material they will present.

If that ratio were applied to submarines, France would have now nearly 10.000 tons more than her proportion and Japan more than 20,000 tons less. Line ot Attack Veiled. From what direction It is planned to attack the submarine tonnaice problem should the conference tail to agree, as It expected, to abolish ment of submarines, is not known. There are indications, however, that the American group will be prepared with definite suggestions both as to submarines and each other auxiliary craft element of the reduction plan when an appropriate moment for I .-esentation comes. Views of each of the other four powers on these points are understood to be in process of development. So far as the British desire to abol ish or at least closely curb submarine activities croes, it has been sajd of ficially for the British delegation that agreement to the capital ship 6-6-3 ifetlo, the ten-year naval holiday and the retained tonnagre elements of the American programme was in no sense conditional. The British intend, it is understood, to fight the submarine issue out on its merits. The lines of the contest are not as yet clear, but an intimation came from Dutch circles tonight that while Holland was not concerned imme diately In the naval conference. It was Interested in the submarine question and would oppose any attempt by the conference to set a world policy of submarine abolishment. FKAXCK PREPARES FIGURES Submarine Tonnage to Be Asked Is Not Vet Revealed. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 20 'By the Associated Press.) The pre cise submarine and other light craft tonnage that the French delegates will put before the naval committee Thursday as a minimum is being tabulated by Vice-Adm.ral De Bon. within Premier Brland's Instructions. "I am not prepared to tell you fig ures." said M- Sarraut. head of the delegation, tonight. "Will you ask for submarine equal ity with the principal naval powers?" l.e was asked. "No, we are not taking as a measure the submarine strength of Great Brit ain or the United States or Japan," he replied, "but what we will pre vent will 4e our conviction of our r.eeds. ourN actual and Irreducible necessities. We have accepted the 175 000 tons of capital ships but we cannot give up building the other i-lements of our fleet, the light ele ments such as small cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers and submersibles." HOLLAND FAVORS U. S. STAND American 175.000 capital ship ton nane proposal and beyond the strtct letter of which, it is indicated, the French group did not go today, reads: "With regard to the tonnage of capital ships, that Is to say, attack ing ships, which are the most costly, 1 have given instructions to our dele gates In the sense which you desire. 1 am certain that X shall be sustained by my parliament In this view. Attitude Is Kaplalned. "But so far as the defensive ships are concerned (light cruisers, tor pedo boats and submarines). It would be impossible for the French govern ment, without putting itself in con tradiction with the vote of the cham bers, to accept reductions correspond ing to those which we accept for cap ital ships under this formal reserve which you will certainly understand." .Mr. Hughes pointed out that strict application to the French navy of the rule of reduction of tonnage applied In the provisional agreement between Great Britain, the United States and Jipan would bring her caoital ship tonnage to H 2.000 aggregate. He B,d1ed that there was every disposi tion however, to permit France to keen all he-r tonnaire In dreadnauht ships and even to make an allow ance of 70,000 tons over the strict application of the rule of existing t-'rength, as was done In the Amer ican 173.000-ton suggestion. Strength Held Doubled. "The proposed agreement really ritnble the relative strength of th French navy," his message added, pointing out that If present American ,mrt BrTtlsh building programmes, proposed to be abandoned, were car ried out, each nation would have a naval preponderance of more than six to one over France "very shortly." "And France would not be In a j-vsltlon to better herrelf much by ;uiy possible endeavor to obtain such a relative strenc-th as has been sug gwtfd," Mr. Hughes added. The French delegation was under stood -to be in receipt tonight of de tailed Instructions as to the amount of auxiliary naval tonnage, including submarines and destroyers, under an ureement to accept 175,000 tons of capital ships. Mr. Hushes' message rt!sclcea that it would be possible for France, under the limitation, to build two new 35.000-ton post-Jutland battleships if she so desired. Tonnov In Estimated. Roufrhly, the submarine tonnage, tmilt and building, now possessed by each of the five powers follows: United States, 95.000 tons; Great Britain 82.000: France. 42.000; Japan. ::2.000; Italy. 22.008.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 20. (By thu Associated Press.) Although without any intimation of a purpose by the conference to apply limitations of naval armament to other than the five powers Invited to consider that matter, Holland's delegates are the consideration of all the nations. Evidently, he said, It was not com petent for the few great powers rep resented here to lay down procedure for time of war which should govern another nation. Believing that the submarine was a fair weapon for the weaker states, the spokesman admitted that the Netherlands delegates were rather in clined to the American viewpoint. In response to a question as to why Holland wan not invited to become a party to the four-power treaty, he said he presumed the reason was that the treaty dealt with regions in the Pacific where there was danger of trouble and that was not true of the Dutch Islands in the Fast Indies.

Briand, "that France is surrounded by three seas the North sea. the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean. Moreover, France needs a navy to protect her distant colonies with their 60.000,000 inhabi tants. "It is curious that as scon as France mentions her need for a navy, the people raise their hands in horror and cry, 'French militarism,' whereas the last two years have sufficiently shown France unswervingly pursues a policy of peace. You know, we are getting rather tired of this sort of talk." . He maintained reserve on the call ing of a five power conference, to in clude representatives of Russia and Germany, to solve the European financial problem, although he ad mitted such a move would likely be highly desirable with a view to ex tricating Europe from the financial morass. In other French sources here, how ever, it was indicated Russia's par ticipation In such a conference would be strongly opposed by France. Neither Louis P. Loucheur, the French minister for liberated regions, nor Dr. Rathenau, ex-German minis ter of reconstruction, would discuss the scope of a conversation they had today. Auto Camp Control Favored. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 20. (Special.) The Roseburg city council has ex tended an invitation to all cities lo cated along the Pacific highway to meet In this city February 22 for the purpose of outlining, a co-operative plan of automobile tourist camp grounds control. Many of the cities believe that tourists should be re quired to pay a nominal fee for the services given in these camp grounds and eacr city council will be asked to send a representative to Rosehurer to meet with the local council to discuss 1 this proposition and probably draw up an agreement in which all cities may join, making the rules uniform. Voncalla Man Drops Dead. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 20 (Special.) The body of William Gross, a well known Yoncalla resident, was found about eight miles east of that town today by hunters. Mr. Gross had been out looking for stock when his death occurred, apparently from heart dis ease or exhaustion. Coroner Ritter was called to make an investigation such a contract with J. Inouye, a Japanese. , "There is nothing from which it can' be legitimately inferred that the design of the law i to prevent an alien from entering into a cropping agreement whereby he gives his labor for. a share in the crops raised." said the decision written by District Judge Dooling and concurred in by Circuit Judge Hunt and District Judge Bledsoe. "A forced construction should not be put on the contract in order to bring it within the prohibition of the law." "it added. The decision granted O'Brien and Inonye a preliminary injunction agaln-st Attorney-General Webb and District Attorney Coolldge of Santa Ciara county, who had threatened to proceed against them as violators of the anti-alien land law. The crop contract in question wan for four years and provided that Inouye should get half Xbe crop of berries and Vegetables in return for raising them. The length of the term of a crop contract is not a deciding factor, ac cording to the report. Judge Bledsoe wrote a separate concurring opinion in which he said he believed such a crop contract would give Inouye an interest in, and an enforceable right in and to, the land in question, but for a specific statement that it conveyed no interest of estate whatsoever In the land.
