Tondon, April (P—Represent- atives of the five dominant naval powers of the world, America, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy, this afternoon affixed their signa- tures to an epoch-making treat limiting and reducing the navies of three of them, and restricting the navies of the other two. Colonel Henry L. Stimson, Ameri- | can secretary of state, and his col- leagues on the American delegation, were the first to sign the historic document. M. Briand, French for- cign minister, J. Ramsay MacDon- 2ld, British prime minister and Ad- miral Giuseppe Sirianni with their delegations folloswwed. Japanese Sign Last Reijiro Wakatsuki, a former | prime minister of Japan, aand those | of the Tokyo delcgation who have worked with him through the threc months and one day of long and difficult negotiations, were the last of the five power representatives to affix their signatures. The unpretentious hut ceremony which marked mination of the greatest disarma- ment conference of all time took place shor(ly after midday in the ancient and royal palace of St James’. The setting was one for an artist, the final plenary session of the parley being held in Queen Annc's drawing room, with its\rich red tapestries from the midst of which looked down the portraits of a long line of English kings. Starts In' Dense Fog Fourteen weeks ago the confer- ence was ushered into being in the midst of a dense fog which pervaded the House of Lords in a stlike blanket. There was that same fog carly today, but shortly after the plenary session convened the April sunshine burst through the mists and glinted from the golden trap- | pings of Queen Anne's favorite Toom. The treaty signed definitely limits | the navies, in, all categories, America, Great Britain and Japan, | and provides reduction in ships al- | ready under construction in at least one category, capital ships. I'rance | and Italy could not compose their| differences and so today adhe ml} only to other sections of the pact, | which, important enough in them- sclves. prescribe a capital ship holi- | day, limitation on sizes of sub-|g marines, humanization of their use, and record agrecment on other tec! h»\ nical phases of the conference work. | Formal signing cupied 12 minutes. Adjournment was | taken at 1:18 p. m., after a less than three-hour meeting in which the | chief delegates in formal addresses had expressed their gratification in their handiwork, deplored that they had not been able to go as far as they wished, but expressed hope that | further negotiations in the future would remove obstacles to complete | five power agreement on limitation and reduction.
