VAN PARLEYHELD BY THREE WS U. S, Great Britain and Japan Get Nowhere in Cordial Meeting. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By er!lel"t:.Th‘p:u‘!".vnr:‘;ndxgl'a‘lcnln Dally LONDON, England, February 18.— The first real negotiations among the !United States, British and Japanese delegations since the Five-power Naval Conference began occurred last night ‘The courage of Secretary of State Stim- son and Prime Minister Macdonald seemed to be quickened by the French governmental crisis. With the possibility of a good five- power treaty in doubt, the chief dele- gates decided to begin an earnest effort to reach a three-power agreement. For the first time, therefore, they had a frank argument, which, while entirely cc-dial, brought out various conflicting views and suggests that even a three- power agreement is still a long way off Not only did Japan refuse to budge a single ton from its previous position, but it was revealed that somewhat unex pected and really serious differences still exist between Great Brifain and th United States, partly over the American | desire to build & new_capital ship, but especally over the size limit for six-inch- gun cruisers. Despite new vows of absolute secrecy which Mr. Stimson almost daily pro- poses to all the delegates, including the foreign, and which the foreigners al- ways politely agree to, the Daily News i able to give herewith & general sum- mary of last night's conversations. New Ship Desire Confirmed. The first subject discussed was capi- tal ships. We officially confirmed our desire to build one as compensation for the British Rodney and Nelson. Great Britain protested. . We then suggested that Great Britain scrap the Rodney. Great Britain protested. Japan also strongly objected, arguing among other points that one capital ship of the new type was useless; there must be at least two for reasons of naval tactics. The Argxment got nowhere. ht-inch-gun cruisers were then tackled. Here Great Britain and the United States agreed, but the United States and Japan did not. Japan in- sists on 70 per cent of the American and the Americans offer 60 per cent, pointing out that Japanese cruisers carry more guns than ours and that 60 per cent in tonnage means 63 per cent in guns. Japan replied that no account of guns ‘was taken in the Anglo-American big cruiser agreement, hence it does not ap- ply to Japan's case, either. This argu- ment gol nowhere, so the delegates on to 6-inch-gun cruiserk. Great Britaln and Japan strongly urged limitation of their size to 7,000 tons. The United States as firmly stood out first for a 9,000-ton limit, ¢hen 8.500 tons. The argument got nowhere. ‘There is no reason to :urpou. how- ever, that the American delegation will gve up this point.

Am- bassador Morrow listened most sympa- | thetically to the Italian point of view | without committing himself in any way. | “'Now around the middie of this week these conversations will be resumed. Meantime Grandi is preparing a memo- | randum, similar to those of the Amer- ican, French and British, setting forth | Italy's needs as clearly as possible. What is Italy striving for? Parity with France. | Why? oOn account of her political | and_geographical position. | What does Italy want? Reduction of | all navies to the lowest possible mini- | mum. Advances Strong Case. | Ttaly 1s putting before the world a | very strong case. She desires effective naval reduction, because ¢ he is poor and because Premier Mussoini wants to spend money on somethiig better than warships. As Italy sees no hope of remaining atside A possible conilict, Premier | Mussolini does not want s country to be derpived of its best man power until the troubles are over. Hence his desire to spend money constructively by giv- ling Italy's surplus population as much food and employment as possible. So, using money on a big navy is considered by the Fascists as sheer waste. | "What kind of a navy does Mussolini | want? According to his London spokesman, Grandi, “the Italian government is willing to accept any figure however low, provided that it is unsurpassed by |any other continental power.” Italy | favors complete disarmament, say the Italian delegates, but “heretofore all the | methods of limitation suggested have been favoring the strongest nation.” Insists on Absolute Parity. ‘The Itallan delegation is determined |to obtain absolute parity with France. |Grandi and his colleagues are anxious to prove that this demand is not based |on prestige, but on national needs. Great Britain, they say, is always em- phasizing the fact that she needs big navy because otherwise the popula- tion of these islands would be starved | within three weeks. If this is true | regarding Great Britain, which has a | sea coast of about 4,000 miles, it must be still truer regarding the Itallan peninsula. . If Italy did not have parity with the | strongest Mediterranean power, | If part of her fleet were detailed to con- | voy merchant ships, the Italian coasts | would be ieft open to enemy attack. | If the fleet were kept intact to protect the coasts, food and raw materials would never reach Italy. Italy’s sea trade i8 further menaced by :the fact that France is developing far-flung naval bases which Italy con- siders a direct menace to her trade routes. These are on broad lines the argu- she | | would always be at that power’s mercy. | 11FE EVEN ments set forth by the Italian delega- tion when they claim parity ith France.

Ttaly demands the right to be able to build up to the French maximum program any time unforeseen events. may compel her. In other words, the Italians do not want to tie their hands to a five-year building program such as the Americans and British are advo- cating. Whatever building -program is accepted, the Italians want to be able to build whenever they choose. ‘What Italy would like to have—and this is outside the province of the Dresent, conference—is a treaty of amity with France based on an equitable solu- tion of the political problems confront- ing both. countries. - Without such a treaty Italy sees no value in a new Mediterranean pact, though she would consider one if it would result in a substantial reduction in all naval pro- grams.
