(AP) Tsuneo Matsudalra, on behalf of the Japanese delegation, tonight presented to Senator David A. Reed a written memorandum in answer to the American proposal that Japan accept a 60 per cent ratio of cruiser strength, as com pared with the American navy, in order to make that category con form to the 6-S-3 battleship ra tio agreed upon at the Washing ton conference. While it was understood that the memorandum repeated Japan's desire for a 70 per cent cruiser ratio, it was generally be lieved that neither the American nor the Japanese position was fi nal and that an acceptable com promise would be reached after further conversations. The discussion dates back to the Washington conference and has served to revive what the Japanese have always claimed was an unfortnnate misunder standing. It is understood that the American claim, while ac knowledging that only capital ships and airplane carriers en tered into the Washington agree ment, holds that there was a tacit understanding between the two countries that Japan would be satisfied with the same ratio for heavy cruisers.'
