BRITAIN AND JAPAN HIT 3-3-3 RATIO Naval Proposals Would Scrap Principle, Authorities Here Contend. BY G. GOULD LINCO) The 5—-5—3 naval strength ratio, agreed to at the Washington arms conference for capital ships and ac- cepted in principle by representatives of Great Britain and Japan at that | time, is scrapped in the proposals of | the British and the Japanese a Geneva conference, in the opinion of naval authorities here. The United States has proposed the | extension of the 5—5—3 ratio to aux- | fliary naval craft, and doubtless will | stand by it. The British and Japanese attack | this plan with substitute proposals. | They attack from different angles, but the result would not be gr different so far as the United 1s concerned. In the matter of naval strength, if either British or Japanese proposal should be adopted, the United Sta would suffer, would f; closely the the United States is on a parity Great Britain and in the ratio of 5 to 3 with Japan. Both Ignore Ratio.

The British proposal, however, was regarded unsatisfactory by the offi- clals here in so far as they affect ques- tions decided at the Washington con- ference and which the administration feels should not be discussed at the | present conference hecause of the ab- |sence of two of the signatories of the 19 treaties. Japan's r that she navy than nese navy ly was taken to indicate Imits she needs no larger e now The Japa- present is on a ratio and in the matter cruisers and the same ratio holds between Japan and the United States for submarines, while for destroyers between the two latter countries, the ratio is about 5 to 115 ne Proposals Suitable. British acceptance of the 5 3 ratio for cruisers, the pro- posal to reduce destroyers to 1,750 tons for flotilla leaders and 1,400 tons for destroyers would be completel suitable to this country since Ame s largest destroyer is 1,215 tons, it viewed here. Reduction of sub- tons would also be | immaterial to the United since only the five V-1 type nes are above this tonnage. Hope was held by State Department icials that the American naval lim- oposal could be blended with policies of those powers so to have the basic principles ac- epted in full t of modern The ally life of 24 years, destroy- ers at 1d submarines at | 11d reduce the size | They w nd the ba iips and_cruisers size of the guns they carry. There is no proposal for an extension of the 5—5 ratio except in so far as | 10,000-ton cruise re concerned. | And after the precent 10,000-ton | cruiser programs have been com-| pleted, no more cruisers of more than 7,500 tons are to be constructed. | The ~Japanese propose a mnaval building holiday, except of ships not | over 700 tons, surface ships, lightly armed, and aircraft carriers not over 10,000 tons. Japan does not, however, propose that the present building pro- grams shall be halted. No ratio pro- posal is made by the Japanese. Japan, like Great Britain, stre the need of considering particularly the special needs of the individual countries in the matter of national defense. Here again they get away from the principles of agreement at | the Washington conference. If the British plan is adopted, her supremacy at sea is at once assured. 1f the Japanese plan is adopted the | United States suffers from the fact | that in recent years its naval program has been curtailed to the limit and in modern cruisers Japan ‘would be stronger than this country and in the construction of larger, speedier and more powerful destroyers and subma- rines Japan also would have the ad- vantage, although in matter of actual tonnage this country would be superior to Japan in both destroyers and sub- marines. See U. S. at Disadvantage. ~he extension of the accepted life of capital ships, cruisers, destroyers and submarines as_proposed by the British keeps the United States at a isadvantage. Compared to Great Britain, the United States today. has older battleships, when the building program is considered. To continue these ships in commission would be to postpone replacements by this coun- try with newer and more effective ships. The United States has superiority in destroyer strength today over both Great Britain and Japan. But the United States built practically all ot its destroyers in the war period. Un- der the British proposal, these ships would have their “accepted lives” ex- tended to 24 years. although the Amer- ican view has been that the life of a des:royer is 20 years. Both the British and the Japanese are building destroy- er leaders, and new destroyers, while the American destroyer program has been at a standstill. In the matter of modern cruisers, the British have far distanced the United States and Japan's building program puts her at an advantage over this country also. United States Far Below Ratio. A comparison of the modern cruiser strength of the three countries, taking into consideration the program of each, shows America far below the 5-5-3 ratio. Of modern cruisers with 3,000 to 10,000 tonnage and carrying 5 to 8 inch guns, the United States has 10 of 7,500 tons®each, has 2 building of 10,000 tons each, and 6 appro- priated for in part of 10,000 tons each, a total of 18 vessels when all are completed with a combined ton- nage of 155,000. Great Britain, on the other hand, has built 40 cruisers of 194,290 tons, has 11 build- ing of 10,000 tons each and 6 appro- priated for of a total of 54,000 tons, or 57 vessels with a total 358,290 tonnage. Japan has 19 built with a total 102,005 tonnage, 6 building with a total 54,200 tonnage and 4 appro- priated for with a total of 40,000 ton- nage, or 29 vessels with a tonnage totaling 196,205. American naval authorities hold that the reduction in the size of bat- tleships and cruisers proposed by the British, and particularly the proposal that the size of the guns on the cruis- ers be reduced to 6-inch, would be contrary to the interest of the United States. They hold this to be true both THE DERSIGNED WILL CA #old_at public auction, at the service statio: of Barry-Pate Motor Co. 2525 Sherman ave n.w. Washingten. D, on Tuesday.

ADAMS PRINTING | No al Press|: n 'S FACTORY, | They noted, with appreciation, that | the British and .Ja nese reaction at | the opening session gave no h of | serious opposition to the proposal, confirming belief here that final agre: ent on details will be possible. There was little expectanc here that the suggestion of W. G. Bridge- man, the British delegate, that the conference turn back to the Washing- ton treaty of 1921, to reduce to 30,000 tons the maximum size of capita ships and to 13.5 inches their maxi- mum armament, would be pressed by Great Britain's representativ K Want Pact Undisturbed. Throughout preparations here for the conference American officials st ed their desire to leave the Washington pact undisturbed and that program w trengthened with the declaration of France and Italy, two of the 1921 treaty signatories, to rticipate in the pr nt conference. binding revision of the trea could be effected, it was explained, without the participation of those two countries. The British proposal to limit future cruisers to 7,500 tons with 6-inch zuns, as opposed to the present maxi- mum of 10,000 tons and $-inch guns, was not expected greatly to disturb the - American delegation. Great Britain now has 10,000-ton cruisers to the number of 15 in commission, under construction or authorized and it was pointed out that she could not object to the United States building the same number. This country now has 10 cruisers of 7.500 tons in commission, and if 15 American heavier cruisers were built only 75,000 tons would remain 1o be accounted for if the proposed 300,000-ton total for the class were accepted. Under the Gibson proposal either country could employ the surplus tonnage in 10,000-ton or smaller craft and it was not expected that the United States would seriously object to limiting the number of the heavier cruisers so as to leave a wider ton- nage margin for the smaller ships. Needs Larger Submarines. * Bridgeman’s recommendation that future submarines be limited to 1,600 tons was expected to offer grounds for considerable discussion, in view of the great distance separating continental United States from iis island posses- sions. The newer type of American submersibles are larger than 1,600 tons and designed for cruising greater distances than are those needed by Great Britain, whose colonies are linked by convenient naval bases. Comparable data on modern cruiser strength of the United States, Great Britain _and Japan shows that the United States has but 18 ships of this type built, building or authorized, totaling 155,000 tons, while Great Brit- ain has totaling 358,000 tons, and Japan 29, totaling 196,205 tons. Ten of the American first line cruis- ers are of 7,500 tons each and were built since the war, while two more of 10,000 tons, the Pensacola and Salt Lake City, are bui'ding, and six of a similar tonnage has been authorized and appropriated for. Great Britain has 40 modern cruis- ers built, totaling 194,290 tons; 11 building, aggregating 110,000, and 6, totaling 54,000, authorized. Japan has 19 built, totaling 102,005 tons; 6 build- because of the greater operating radius required by United States ves- sels, owing to the lack of naval bases, and because of the huge superiority of swift merchant vessels which Great Britain possesses, capable of being converied in time of war and mounted with 6-inch guns. Under the terms of the Washington conference the size of cruisers was limited to 10,000 tons and a cruiser's guns to 8-inch. These agreements would be abandoned if the British plan were adopted. Has No Corresponging Gun. The B proposed that the size of the guns carried by battleshij be reduced to 13.5. The Washington treaty limits them at 16 inches. This country has discarded 12 and 14 inch guns for the 16-inch, It has no gun to correspond exactly to the Dritish 13. Getting back to the Jupanese pr posal for a naval building holiday, which amounts to a retention of the status quo after the present programs have been completed, it may be men tivned that Japan is at present build- ing 4 destroyer leaders and 14 new de- stroyers; that Japan is constructing 17 flect submarines, and the United States only 3. Tnrtheriiore, the Japanese does not cover smaller types of ves- 1s which may be developed strongly within the next few years. HIS HEART “MISPLACED.” | THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. EXPERTS TO STUDY PROPOSALS SUBMITTED AT NAVAL PARLEY ing, aggregating 54,200 tons, and 4 authorized, totaling 40,000. In addition to the ten 7,500-ton cruisers the United States now has in commission 6 old armored and second line cruisers, all of which, under the American 20-year age limit proposal, would be eligible for replacement now, and 15 old second line cruisers out of ~ommission, which were built between 1895 and 1908 The six old cruisers in commission are the tle, commissioned in 1906; the Pittsburgh, 1905 Denver, 1904; Clevel Rochester, 1893. Comparative figures for destroyers have not been brought up to d to have a preponderance in this type of ships, although 172 of her total of 309 still in the list are laid up and out of commission at Philadelphia and San Diego. The de av royers in commission, which ound 1,150 tons each, num- ber 112, including 6 mine layers. The remaining destroyers, in number, have been turned over to the Coast Guard for prohibition enforcement work. They are of the old tvpe, having bheen commissioned between 1911 and® 1914. Sees Resumption of Race. Failure of agreement at the Geneva conference would be followed imme- diately by a resumption of competi- tive building, with the new Congress immediately passing the bill for 10 fast new 10,000-ton cruis Repre sentative Britten of Illinois, ranking Republican on the House naval com- mittee, predicted today. “The American pro 1" he said, fair, frank and one which will im press the world with our desire to limit naval expenditures, and jection by Great Britain and Japan can bring about only a resumption of the race for naval supremacy, which, however costly, will_be carried for- ward energetically by the United States. “If the Gene agreement T onference fails of onfident that the coming Congr will immediately pass the bill for 10 additional 10,000 ton fast cruisers, which was recom- mended by President Coolidge in the closing days of the last Congress. “With a £500,000,000 Tr ury sur- plus this year, the question for Con- gress to decide will be: ‘Is reduced taxation more important than the na- tional defens ¥ a m Message to Coolidge. ge of greeting and respect smitted to President Coolidge from the Geneva confer- ence by Hugh R. Wilson, American Minister to Switzerland and secretary general of the conference. The message read: “Profoundly and cordially appre- ciating the humane and wise initia- tive of the President of the United tates in convening the present con ference with a view to a further re- duction of the burden and danger of naval armament, the delegates as- embled desire to tender to him this expression of their highest respect and of their strong hope of a most satisfactory ressult.”” BRITISH SEE BIG SAVING. Proposal to Postpone Replacements Attracts Taxpayers. LONDON, June 21 (#).—Calculations that postponement of replacement of capital ships in accordance with the British proposals would save the country forty to fifty million pounds attracted the notlos of the British tax payer today more than any other fea- ture of the opening of thé Geneva naval conference. He did.not cavil at the fact that the United States would save a similar amount, while Japan would be richer by £28,000,000. The respective proposals of the United States, Great Britain and Japa were set forth prominently by tl nforning newspapers, but the com- ment was scanty, confined for the most part to anti-government journals. The Liberal News approves the British proposals to a certain ex- tent, but fears they might lead to competition in cruiser-building; which, it says, is as disastrous as the old race for battleships. The paper wants the admiralty frankly to avow that it does not object to America building cruisers right up to the British limit if she chooses, partly because “if the Americans choose to build, nothing can prevent them,” and partly be- cause “it is inconceivable that the American Navy can menace Great Britain.” Urges Submarine Pact. The News secs a greater need for an agreement among the European powers respecting submarines and other small craft. This point is also emphasized by the Liberal Chronicle, which contends that apart from capital ships, British requirements are in nowise conditional on_anything America does. The Labor-Socialist Herald sees no prospect of good arising from the | conference, whose motive, it says, is! not peace, but economy. It declares that whatever arangements the three powers make, the cause of peace will not be advanced a jot; war will only be made cheaper. JAPANESE NOT SAT American Proposal Called Restricted | Armament Expansion. TOKIO, June 21 (#).—The naval limitation proposals presented at yes- terday’s opening session of the tri- partite conference at Geneva reached Tokio too late for comment in tod: newspapers, but advance copies of tomorrow’s editorials show that the Japanese papers are far from satisfied. Hochi Shimbun describes the Ameri- can proposition as “a sort of restrict. ed armament expansion,” and declare: that application of the Washington 5—5—3 ratio to vessels other than cap- ital ships would cause more loss to Japan than to either the United States or Great Britain. The paper therefore asks that the British and American delegates consider Japan's viewpoint more seriously. That Bright New Car Man Injured in Railway Crossing Crash Gets $25,000 Damages.

A meeting of these representatives is to be held tomorrow. Many Improvements Needed. “The entire qu " the board’s statement read, ° es itself into two fundamental premises: There are a great many im- ovements which are needed for the lopment of Washington and can y come by a fair, equitable contri bution_from the Federal Government and a fair amount of taxes paid by the citizens of the District The available taxable property cannot_yield enough revenue to sus- tain a large budget if the Government is to contribute continually the sum of $9,000,000 and there is only the alter- native of paring the budget or an excess tax burden on the citizens. “While it is highly desirable that | the development of Washington should continue upon as progressive a basis as possible, yet, on the other hand, this board sees a grave danger in the increase of local taxation and muni pal financial obligations. This danger involves, primarily, the very basis upon which rests the prosperity of the city, that of a financially well-off and ecoromically sound community. The present situation in Washington, both commercially and from the point of view of the home owner and the fam. ily head, leads us to believe that an increase in the financial burden placed upon the citizens of the Dis- trict at this time would be fraught with grave danger. “A study of the property in other citie ington well at_the_top, tion tax burdens on hows Was!
