ESTABLISHED 1873 PRESI FINAL EFFORT MADE TO SAVE GENEVA CONFERENCE JAPAN OFFERS, ~ PLAN T0 SAVE NAVAL PARLEY Proposes America and Britain Be Limited to Twelve 100,- 000 Ton Cruisers PROJECT FOR 4 YEARS Idea Hinges on Competion of zPresent Building Program Geneva, Aug. 2.—(}—The Associ- ated Press learns that the Japanese compromise proposal, made in an ef- fort to save the « tripartite naval conference from failure, provides that Great Britain and Japan shall cease building cruisers when they | reach the end of their present au- thorized programs and up to 1931 the number of 10,000-ton cruisers shall he limited to 12 for Great Britain and the United States and eight for Japan. The plan also calls for a secondary class of cruisers with a imum o} 8,000 tons each, but nothing is said about eight-inch guns in connection with this type of cruiser. i The plan proceeds by suggesting that, if any building program be- comes a menace to the other signa- tories, they could be empowered to denounce the - arrangements. The , United States would undertake not tofexceed the British cruiser strength before 1931. American Interpretation Americans interpret the Japanese «promise to mean that, if the * British stop with their present strength, that strength would come stitute the total cruiser tonnage up to 1981, The correspondent understands that W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty, told Admiral Saito that the compromise was impossible, under the present instructions of the British delegation, but that he im- mediately telegraphed the text to London fer submission to the cab- inet. Hugh S. Gibson, head of the Amer- ican delegation, has cabled the com-. promise proposal to Washington with suplanstary comment, fapan made a last supreme effort to save the tripartite naval confer- ence, Go to See Gibson, After failing in their first attempt to find any formula which held the possibility of giving satisfaction Ad- miral Saito and Viscount Ishii, this morning visited Hugh 8S. Gibson, chief American delegate, and handed him the text of n compromise project @oncerning cruisers, Later in the day, Mr. Gibson and Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, U. 8. N., returned the visit of the Jap- anese statesmen. It had been ex- pected that they would be able to present their definite views on the Japanese suggestion, but they were obliged to yeport that they needed more time to examine the project. 1 on Bridgem: Immediately after the departure of ‘the American delegates, Admiral faito and Viscount Ishii called upon} W? C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty, one of the chief members of the British delegation, and tended ; him a copy of, the plan previously handed to Mr. Gibson. 4 The first Jay je reaction is that their project, which they frankly say does not embody a genuine accord on the cruise: ausetion but merely offers a modué vivendi, or temporary arrangement, is in its essence more calculated to meet the American than the British ideas. This is not because they wish in any way to favor the American standpoint, but because of the fun-| damental difficulties involved in meeting the British viewpoint.
