S. are Laid Down by Hughes at ning Session WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. —A 10-year holiday in naval construction, involving a tre- mendous scrapping of s! ‘ips now on the ways or contem- plated by the United States, Great Britain and Japan was proposed to the conference on t! Umitation of armaments by Secretary Hughes at the opening session today as Amer. tca's proposals. Briefly, the American proposal ts: That there immediately be de- stroyed by the navies of the three Great powers, 66 capital fighting ships And a total tonnage of 1,878,034 tons. Within three mofiths after making @n agreement the navies would con- sist of designated and agresd upon ships as follows: United States, 18; Great Britain, 22; Japan, 10. In tons: this would %e: United States, Secrgsb; Great Britain, 604,450; Japan, 299,700. Replacement would be limited by an agreed maximum of capital ship tonnage as follows: United States, 500,000 tons; Great. Britain, 500,000 tons; Japan, 300,000 tons. Subject to the 10-year holiday lmi- tation, capital ships could be replaced when they are 20 years old. No re- Placement ship would have a tonnage of more than 35,000. A total tonnage in cruisers, fo- tilla leaders and destroyers for each Power would be fixed ax follows, For the United State;450,000.tone; for Great” Britain 450,000 tons; for Japan 270,000 tons. The total tonnage of submarines allowed each power would be as fol- lows: For the United States 90,000 tons; for Great Britain 90,000 tons; for Ja- Pan 54,000 tons. The total tonnage of airplane car: riers Was proposed as follows. For the United States 80,000 tons; for Great Britain 80,000 tons; for Japan 48,000 tons. In each case, it would be provided jthat no government whese present tonnage exceeds the prescribed Itmit | Would be required to scrap such ex- eess until replacements have begun. | Criiisers 17 years of age could be |replaced by new construction. Similarly, destroyers, flotilla lead- jers and submarines could be replaced when 12 years old and airplane car- riers when 20 years old. AIRPLANE LIMITATIONS | ARE ALSO SOUGHT. ; Limitation of airplane construction |was nct outlined in detaf! tn the American proposal, but it was de- clare@ in the proposal that since the |{mportance of the merchant marine fs |@ factor im any naval armament pro- gram “regulations must be provided” }to govern the conversion of merchant |craft for war purposes. Other features of the auxiliary craft reduction program, included: Exemption from the terms of. the agreement of the existing monitors; rmored surface craft under 3,000 fuel ships. supply ships, tend- repair ships, tugs and mine- sweapers. No new auxiliary combatant craft could be built, exempt from terms of the agreement, that exceeded 3,000 |tons, had a speed of more than 165 knots and carried more than four 5- inch guns. All auxillary surface craft whose keels already have been laid could be carried to completion. Agreement would be made later for details of scrapping the ships falling outside the proposed limitation. Each of the powers party to the agreement would bind itself to inform all the other concerning: 1—The names or number of the ship ito be replaced by new construc- tion. 2—The date of authorization of re placement tonnage. 3—The dates of laying the keels of replacement tontlage. 4—The displacement tonnage each new ship to be laid down. | 5—The actual date of completion of each new ship. | 6@—The fact and date of the scrap- | ping of ships replaced. | A summary of the results of ‘ (Continued on Page 7.) of the OBENCHAIN PLEA DENIED BY COURT LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.—The district court of appeals denied today the pétition of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, ask- ing that the Los Angeles superior court be directed to show cause why she should not be either tried or liberated at once. a charge of slaying J.
