Those are the features of the sweeping challenge Secretary Hughes presented to the other naval powers. Tuere was complete detail covering every phase of the question, but the c nence of the proposal lay In this: That the United States offered to go far beyond what she asked Great Britain or Japan to do. viewed from the financial losses involved. The whole American big ships under construction and the Japanese "eight and ertght" programmes are as yet largely on paper..

The United States believes this plan safely guards the interests of all concerned. In working out this proposal, the United States has been guided by four general principles: (a) The elimination of sN capital shipbuilding programmes, either ac tual or projected. (b) Further reduction through the scrapping of certain of the older ships. (c) That regard should be had to the existing naval strength of the conferring powers. Ships Are to Be Scrapped.
