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.

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.

From what direction It is planned

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

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

Interested in the submarine question
and would oppose any attempt by the
conference to set a world policy of

"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

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

1 am certain that X shall be sustained

"But so far as the defensive ships
are concerned (light cruisers, tor

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

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

ance of 70,000 tons over the strict
application of the rule of existing

ican 173.000-ton suggestion.
Strength Held Doubled.
"The proposed agreement really

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

France, under the limitation, to build
two new 35.000-ton post-Jutland

Problem of Abolishing Submarines
Held Vital to Everyone. .
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.

LONDON. Dec. 20. "People seem to
forget." declared M. 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.
