NATIONS ARE ASKED TO. REDUGE NAVIES: Scrapping of Capital Warships and Ten-Year Hait in Euild- ing Is Proposed. Washington, D. C.— More drastic and far-reaching than the most ardent advocate of disarmament dared hope were the American proposals laid be- fore the arms conference at its first session by Secretary Hughes. A ten-year naval holiday is the pro- posal, and the United States, Great Britain and Japan shall scrap 66 capi- tal ships aggregating 1,878,043 tons. Within three months after the con- clusion of an agreement, the United States would have 18 capital ships, Great Britain 22 and Japan 10. /Ton- would be 500,650, 604,450 and 299,700.

No replace- | ments could exceed 35.000 tons. The United States would scrap 30% capital ships, aggregating 943,740 tons; Great Britain 19, aggregating 583,376 928 tons. The figures include old ships to be | scrapped, ships building or for which The American proposal, concrete | and detailed, fell on the opening mom ents of the great conference like a bombshell.
