WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 (AP)
Congressional dissatisfaction
with the London naval limita
tions conference was manifest to
day among members alinged with
both the big and small navy
groups.
Senator Borah, republican, Ida
ho, denounced the American pro
posal for construction of a new
battleship. He is demanding a re
duction In navies. He called upon
Great Britain to sink its newest
battleship, the Rodney, as the al
ternative to America building an
additional battleship to obtain
parity in this class of Bhips.
Meanwhile, the big .navy oppo
sition to the London naval pro
gram was farther edivenced in
declaration by Chairman Britten,
of the house naval affairs com
mittee, condemning the plan re
quiring America to build new
light cruisers which he contends
are unsuited to this nation's
needs.
Both Senator Borah and Repre
sentative Britten, from opposite
viewpoints, assailed the London
policy requiring expansion of the
American'navy. Britten proposed
that England scrap both the Rod
ney and the Nelson, another new
battleship, as a means for obtain
ing parity.

JAPANESE Envoy
REPEATS DEMANDS
LONDON, Feb. 12. (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.'

v WASHINGTON. Feb.
(AP) Apparently - progressing
steadily toward recovery, William
Howard Taft was reported la fa
vorable condition today by lis at
tending physicians.
Just a week ago grave fears
were entertained that the former
chief justice might not survive
the several maladies which had
attacked aim, but ever since that
time he has surprised physicians
and attendants by the vigorous
way In which he has rallied.
Virtually helpless at the time
of his return from Sheville, North
Carolina, Mr. Taft now can more
about without assistance. His
physicians still encourage him to
remain in bed as much as possi
ble, however, fearing that too
great exertion would overtax his
heart and bring a recurrence of
the serious attack which so near
ly conquered him.
Two bulletins Issued today by
his physicians. Dr. Thomas Clay
tor and Dr. Francis R. Hagner,
described Mr. Tafts condition as
Very satisfactory" and aonarent-
ly "much better." He has over
come his restlessness at night and
sleep is proving beneficial. The
physicians warned again that
their patient was a long way from
complete recovery.
