Waablrqrton. Nov. 10 Prince Toku

Tnoaday repudiated the 'statement made
nl an Interview Monday by Vice Admiral
Kaail Kato. chief Japanese naval expert.
that hie country would hold out lor
70 per cent ratio of capital ship strenjta.
I The prince said :
"That la entirely Vice Admiral Kato's
personal opinion. It does not represent
the opinion of the delegation.
RATIO Ml'BT HTA5D
Prtnce Tokucawa'a statement came
Immediately after a pronouncement by
a hlh American authority that the Ja-
Daaeae have played with the 10-to-s na
val prpual as long as they can saieiy
do so. and that hls ratio must stand
or Ue conference will break up.
Monday. Dei-ember t. la being discussed
as the probable date of the neat plen
ary eeeNlon. when It Is expected the
capital Ship decision will be made public.
The manner Of bringing forward such a
decision would be through speeches by
leaders ' of the British. Japanese and
United States delegations. A British
spokesmen went so far Tuesday as to
indicate the possibility of every phase
of the naval program bring cleared up
la time for the next session not only
questions of submarine!, replacement
tonnage and auxiliary craft, but also the
relative strength of ' the French and
Italian navies.
The conference Tuesday settled the
question of territorial rights in China
' In a tentative way. by a resolution de-
ulartng fop the withdrawal of the for
eign courts, should a commission which
Is to study the subject find that the
Chinese courts can properly handle the
situation. As a mster of fact, Chinese
pinion Is much more divided on this
subject than on most of the others
brought forward. A great deal of Chi
nese business opinion favors the foreign
courts.
TOBEIQX TROOPS imCl'SSED
After passing the Resolution dealing
with the courts the'-delegates took up
the more dlflcult question of the foreign
troops. They did not progress far
enough to take action. It is under
Stood, however, that after China had
Stated her objections again the position
of Hanlhara. for Japan, was that the
principle was admitted but that Japan
would rfbt . at present withdraw her
trobpa from South Manchuria. Im
mediately she la willing to withdraw
from Hangkow only, and from Klao
Chau as soon as the Chinese can fur
Dish adequate police.
After the oral t JmparUon of views

Japan's, position In order that China
might draw up a reply.

morrow the question of wireless sta
tion. ;

President Harding Is somewhat dis
turbed by various Interpretations In the
' newspapers of his association of nations
attitude. His position is as follows
1 Until the work on the agenda Is
finished. It la not the time for confer
ence to take up thle matter.
1 Unless, when that time does come
It 1 not taken up, he will be disap-
- pointed.
1 It has nothing whatever to do wtw
the Versailles pant.
4 On the other hand. It la his wish
that It should not Interfere In any way
with the working of the European
leaa-ue.
" Apparently the unsatisfactory form of
some of the comments was the cau.se of
a new rule put Into effect at the White
House. Beginning at the next news
paper conference with the president,
which la Friday, the questions, ,wblch
hlthertp have been oral, must be handed
In in writing.
Thla will enable the president to de
cide whether the topic shall be raised
at all or not. If he decides to let it
be raised, then oral questions will be
permitted on that particular subject.
