To Consider Ratio Question The 5. ratio applied to first line naval vessels of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, respectively by the Washington arms treaty also will be considered if the three-power conference plan ‘is ‘accepted, The Japanese acceptance of the ori- ginal five-power plan indicated that Japan might seek a different tatio for smaller craft. Washington offi- cals do not. believe, however, that the ratio question will prove a reni stumbling block at. Geneva. The tentative plan for iting Frence an’ Italy to have official ob- servers at the three-power conference is in line with the desire of the Wash- ington government to emphasize that it would have preferred a five-power discussion, and does not regard the points made in the French and Ita rejections us warranting a refusal to participate, In any event, the Washington gov- ernment will be anxious that the con- tinental powers are fully advised us to all that transpires at the proposed three-power conference. fident of Acceptance There is no intimation when replies from London and Tokyo may be ex- pected, although officials here are confident of ultimate accept: At the White House, it was ed that President Coolidge regard: the tentative advices thus far re- ceived from abroad as promising for The president believes the five power plan would have been more promising in practical results than a three-power project could be, but he is anxious to do the next best thing if a five-power meeting is im- possible.
