JAP INCREASE IN NAVAL STRENGTH 1S DEBATED. WASHINGTO:’ ". 19.—(By The Associated Press)—The precise attl- tude of Japan is becoming more and more the big interrogation point of the arms conference. When the dele- gates of the nine nations assembled again today to talk about the Far East it was Japan to whom they looked for the hint that would reveal just whet trend is to be taken by the negotiatio.¥ an they affect China. In the same way, and perhaps with an interest even more intense, the naval experts of the powers were pondering Japan's request for an in- crease in her proportionate naval strength, and were wondering wheth- er she would raise a direct issue with the United States by proposing mate- rial change in the ratio fixed in the American an. | Interchanges with Tokio during the two-day recess, of committee sessions were said to have provided the Japa- nese delegation with comprehensive information as. to the attitude of their goverriment but there was no suthor- itative prediction of how: farvthats tude would be revealed at thie present stage of.the Far Eastern negotiations. Some of the Japanese delegates seem- ed to feol it would be »:eter to de- velop thelr policy, point by point. All the other national groups were ready to make a general declaration of their opinions, but among them there was apparent « feeling that aince China had presented @ detailed “bill of rights” the next word belonged to Japan because she was tho nation mort interested. ‘The naval question remained for the time being outside the reach of actual negotiation with tho experts of the five powers working {ndependently te develop their national viewpoints. But it was a live subject in the minds of delegates and technical advisérs, all of whom attached great importance to the announcement that the United States would stand determinedly against alteration of the basic ratio of her plan. In the view of the American dele- gation, “The way to reduce {s to re- ,duce," scaling down directly from ex- isting naval strength without favoring juny nation in the process, They in- {sist that present proportionate |strength is the only possible basis for |the reduction, declaring that to open a debate on the subject of ‘national needs” and “national aspirations” rather than existing facts would make |the negotiations an endless iaugle or |argument. | So if Japan means to suggest a ma: jterial change in the fundamental |American principle, so that she will jhave a different ratio after reduction |than before, she is certain to meet with determined opposition from the | Superdreadnaught West Virginia Slides Down Ways at Newport News and Is Christened NEWPORT NEWS, Va.; Nov. 19.—The superdread- naught West Virginia, newest addition to the American navy and scheduled to grace the scrap pile within a few the reduction program, launched today at ne Newport News Ship- Was succe the plant of building & Drydock company.
