OTHER NATIONS AWAIT LEAD OF AMERICANS Belief Held That American Pro- gram Is Only One So Far Arranged. By the Associnted Press. Proposals to be made by the Amer- fcan delegation to the conference on limitation of armament apparently constitute ‘the only suggestion pre- pared in advance as to ways and means of curtailing naval expendi- tures without sacrifice of national sc- curity. Great Britain is not known to -have worked out any formula: Japan is awaiting the American su gestion; France and Italy are more concerned with land forces than navies, Two days before the conference opens the American proposals main e closely guarded secret. 1 doubtful if any but President Hard- ing, the four American delegates, ar possibly, the highest officirs and of- ficials of the Navy Department know exactly what the proposals are.

That fleet ratio, Baron Katu !said, would not be achieved befor 1928. T. S. Program Slowed Downs. The American program of 1916, re-- affirmed by Congress in later years. but deferred during the war and greatly slowed down this year by lim- ited appropriations, is in much tbe same status. It includes six battle- ships and six battle cruisers. Keels of all have been laid. Actual work on construction of one battleship, the Massachusetts, has been stationary at about 4 per cent for several months. Work on the other five ranges frowm 19 to 27 per cent. On the battle cruisers one is placed at 1.1 per cent. ome at 5.9 per cent, one at 6.3 per cent, one at 12.6 per cent, one at 16.; per cent and the nearest to comple- tion at 20 per cent finished. These figures are for work on. the ships, and do not include material ordered. There is a growing belief that these / '|figures may play an important part in the American reduction proposals. It is suggested that a cessation of na- val increases for a period of years, per- ha decade, may be proposed. ""d‘. sai should prove acceptable, it is it might be followed by propo- sals to cancel ships laid down on & ship-for-ship basis. Question Ship:fer-Ship Plas. It is regarded as probable that Great Britain would accept some such pro- posal. affecting her. four authorized battle cruisers, but even in the light of Admiral Kato's statement of Ja- pan’s willingness to cut her program it is not clear how a ship-for-ship cancellation plan might be viewed by her representstives. Each ship struck off the 1ist would mean a heavier pro- portionate reduction for japan, it is d,* than ‘for ‘Great Britain or the United’ States. * In’ any “case, ' naval officers point out, the question of naval replace- ments must de it scheme o
