The chief item In the Hughes program wss tied up In a committee of experts who, It waa revealed today, are now arguing over the Interpretation of cer tain facta In connection with capital ships. The Japanese have Indicated a willing ness to make a partial concession on their demand for a navy 70 per cent aa great aa that of the United States and dreat Britain, but the United States U standing firm for the CO per cent ratio. Insisting that the facts prove the 60 per rent ratio more fair. WHO WILL YIELD! "Who will yield and when and at what price? was the question on which the intereat of the delegates was centered. The intensity of the deadlock was re vealed la guarded statements to this effect: , 1 That the eomsoIUte of naval experts .at work on the proposal tor a, 1-5-1 naval program for the United States, Great Britain and Japan, has finished gather tng data, which, the American experts hold, proves the Justice and generosity ef the 1-5-8 plan, while the Japanese held it proves they should have a bigger navy. : That the experts are now conduct Ins "conversations" regarding the cor ' reot Interpretation to be put on the com putations, m.cs so 5KCD or change That there ta no good reason to, so far as the United States can see, why the American program as originally stat ed by Secretary Hughes should not be accepted at once. 4 That Japan has raised numerous knotty technical points in addition to her demand for a TO per cent ratio of tonnage Instead of 50 per cent. S That the deadlock Is over capital ships alone, submarines and other mat ters having been definitely excluded from "Boealderetion. No official would hazard a prediction as to how long the existing deadlock would last or what means would be taken to erj.d It. The utmost reticence was maintained regarding the question. even tne usual expression that "we are satisfied with the progress be In made being omitted today for the first time from official utterances. ftOTHIHO TO BE RAID "May we assume that armament limi tation is conditional upon a. Far Eastern settlement? an American official spokesman was asked. Tou may assume nothing that la not slated, and there is nothing to be stated about that," was the reply, which was typical of those retnmed to other Inquiries regarding naval limitation. . It was suggested In one quarter that if the experts failed shortly to agree on what the facts meant, the whole matter would be laid before the conference. Front another source, however, came the comment that such a proceeding might endanger the whole program. Both as to naval and land armaments, an American official stated, failure to get results would be explained to the world. r. S.

Washington, Nov. 2t President Hard ing's proposal for an "association of na tions," which admittedly would be a rival of the Wilson League 'of Nations, failed to receive any outspoken and en thusiastic support among the arms con ference delegates here today.
