SCRAPPING OF TREATY PROPOSED BY BRITISH Basis for Discussion Seen in Jap- anese Project—Views Wide- ly Divergent. By the Associated Pros NEVA, Switzerland The executive committee partite naval confe presidency of Hug jibson of United States, decided today voke a meeting of the technical perts of Great Britain, the United States and Japan. The experts were instructed, first, to exchange views and reach an agree ment on the existing status of the three navies, including building pro grams, and, second, to begin =tudy of the three sets of proposals placed be fore the conference yesterday, with a ) t to con ener N view to clarification of their real pur-| port. An official communique was issued saying the executive committee had adopted a resolution in which it sug gested that a technical committee he formed to ‘®xchange agreed statis tics of the present cruiser, destroyer and submarine tonnage” of each of the three powers and of the designed ton nage of ships of thosa classes com- priged in the naval programs now au thorized, and for which money has been appropriated: also “any other in formation tending to clarify the pro posals. The resolution concluded with the hope that in thix manner the confer- ence would be in a position to start its deliberation on “an agreed basis of fact.” h Would Reopen Treaty. Further examination by the Amer- feans of the British and Japanese proj- ects shows that the Japanese is with in closer range of possible fruitful dis- cussion than the British proposals which are regarded as nothing less than serapping the Washington treaty and_ as so vague concerning total ton- nage limitations as to constitute no real limitation whatever except as to the size of warships, all of which would be reduced. Hence, it is pointed out, even if the size of individual cruisers was les sened, unlimited competition would #itll exist concerning the number ot cruisers to Dbe buill, It is further pointed out that if some of the deci- mions reached 4t Washington were to be reviged here, there would be no rea- son why all ehould not be reopened, including the question of naval bases, such as Singapore and Hawaii, and the problem of American fortifications in the Far East. The Japanese project fs said to possess the fundamental advantage oi adhering to the Washington decisions, but a'so is declared to possess the dangerou® provision of preventing the replacement of cruisers over 16 years of age. This virtually means that the United States would only have the right to replace hex existing 10 7,500- ton cruigers of the Omaha class A the eight new 10,000-ton cruisers whi are building or contracted for. Disadvantage to U. 8. Seen. This would limit the American eruiser strength to a total of 000 tons, as against an estimated 125,000 tona for Japan and would be far from applying the 5—s—3 ratio to Japan. Another vital provision of the Japa- mese project is that all ships under 700 tons are absolutely excluded from all limitations. This would imply, say experts, that Japan could build an un- limited number of submarines slightly under 700 tons, and that these, oper- ating in the islands of the Pa ifie, such as the ( over which Japan has a mandate, could offer formidable resistance to the advance of any fleet toward the ¥Far East As proof of this contention, it is| pointed out that during the war Ger- | many utilized a number of submatines | under 700 tons, which succeeded in | croesing the Atlantic. In general, the delegates here rep. resenting the political viewpoint re- fuse at the present time to admit the exigtence of impossible barriers to a successful agreement among the United States, Great Britain and Japan, but the technical experts are inclifed to see o wide a divergence of views that the possibility of an agreement with great conc ne is distinctiy remote, Considers Conference New. ~onsiders the present naval aonference an entirely new assembly and not a mere continuation of the Washington conference, the naval « perts of on’ made it cle today after a preliminary study of the American and British proposals intimated that they would upon a detailed examination *'of the varjous national require in auxiliary eraft may be’ without the more or less rigid exten gion of the 3 ratio to auxiliaries which they construe the American plan to mean.
