Early in the day the justice depart- ment called on the navy department to send a destroyer to meet the vessel out- side of Havre and take Morse off the ghip. / N8 such order was issued by the nayy department, however, and officials declared later they were without author- ity to act in that manner. Tonight a ‘plan to cancel the passport issued to r.M Morse was under consider- ation. The effect of such action, it is understood, probably would be that the French government might, under repre- gentations from the United States, refuse to permit him to land.

CREAT BRITAN 1S LSNG - To Bring Japanese Views in Harmony With Those of Washington, Dec. 1 (By the A. P).— Great Britain, as the ally of Japan, is using her influence to bring the J panese views in the naval ratio disoute into harmony with those of. the United States H With this development, the Japancse plenipotentiaries again nave submitted the whole question to their home govern- ment. The exact pature of the latest move for a solution of the ratio problem is not disclosed, but it is indicated that Great Britain has found a double interest in the success of the negotiations, because s accepted in principle the Ameri-} -3" proposal and because. on the other hand, she is in alliance with Japan, who asks for a ra of “10-10-7." All the princ’pals on both sides of the « atroversy refused to recognize the sit- uition as a deadlock. The American delegates. 1t was said authoritatively, were even declining to regard Daron Kato's proposal for an increased Japancse strength as a formal presentation of the Japanese viewpoint. They were confi- dent, it was “declared, that the 10-10-7 proportion would be abardoned before Japan's final statement of ion s placed before the conference. Tt is avparent that if the proposal of the Japahese statesman is not to be re- garded as formal, the reason lies in the | fact that it was mot “passed across the table” at a, formal s on of the arms conference, or any of its regularly consyi- tuted sub-divieions. Baron Kato's request for an increasé over the American ratio was communi- cated to Secretary Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour at a meeting of the three late Tuesday afternoon. In relating frankly his government's position, the Japanese plenipotentiary touched on the reasons Wwhich impelled him to make the request and asked that the question of national needs be taken into account In determin- ing the mew maval refatively. In response, Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour made plain the opposition of the Amerijcan and British delegations to vi- tally changing the is of ratio determl- nation and Baron Kato indicated he de- sired before golng further to communi- cate agaln with his government. Since then the three have not met to discuss the question, but thelr conversations are to be resumed when further advices have been received from Tokio. During the lull a new attempt was pos begun today to, settle the long_debated Shantung controversy, but in vie® of the us of the naval. negotiations _the Shantung conversations were looked on by many of the delegates as a smali part of the main picture. Secrotary Hughes and Mr. Balfour, exercising their “good offices,” met with the Japanese and Chi- nese delegations for a preliminary sur- vey of the situation and then left Ameri- can and British “observers” on the ground to aid in whatever way they ean to bring the two oriental groups .into agreement. The part taken by Mr. Hughes and Jir, Balfour in the meeting was sald tq have been confined to a general statement of confidence that a just and fair solution would be regched, Baron Kzto respond- ing for Japan and Minister Sze for China with general expressions of gratification the interest taken by the two other powers. “The session lasted little more than an hour and afterward it was indi- cated that it ‘had not been determined whether Japan or China should make the first move. There will be another meet- ing tomorrow. - The note of optimism over the outcome of the naval discussions was particularly manifest tonight among the Japanese, While refraining from any comment on the British position. Baron Kato said he would not regard the :\uation as consti- tuting a deadlock. and another member of the Japanese delegation. using a dif- ferent phrase, emphasized that “we ar not_pessimist The submission of the entire subject’to ‘Tokio indicates that under the Japanese system it will be considered by the Jap- anese cabinet as well as by the dipio- matle advisory council. a body composed of emifient Japanese, chiefly former min- isters.

Major comnfercial yards of the country now are practleally supported by naval work. The report is said to have stated that It was exceedingly difficalt to figure hoy they might fare and the fn- dustrial changes in the communities where they are located, If the buliding of war craft should be halted for ten years. s In connection with the shipyard quek< tion it as pointed out that the eftect on labor would cause restiessness and it was urged that some concerted efforts should be made to shift the workers hrown suddenly into idleness into other remunerative lines of work. The report is also understood to have pointed out the phase affestinz the ma<y val organization. With the Pegular pro« cess of developing new ships abandoned, it was said the moral effect organization retained would be adversely affected. In fa word, it was held that the navy would cease to be & zoing concern when eon- fined to old shins and renair work and that the end of the ten year period would find it behind its present high mark of flicincy as to personnal. Taking up the question of costs to the United States alone in scapping 15 capi- tal ships, some idea of the expense in- volve] beyopd the £335,000,000 alréady expended oh construction to the present stage was developed. Estimates as to the costs of breaking.up ships ranged, it was sald, from ten per cent. of the balance required for their gonstruction 0 50 or 60 per cent. of the balance. This added cost might run as high $150,- 000,000, 1t was said o be a matter of common- knowledge that only the courts eould determine the imponderable factors in- volved in breaking contracts for ships and calculating equitiés of buflders in prospective profits on contracts. Adoption foday by the American ad- visoby committee of a Teport om sube marine warfare prepared by Admiral Rodgers was construed as indicating no '\ divergence of view between the civfli- ans of the committes and navy officers as to the legitimate place of sybmarines among naval weapons. The navy generally holds that under- water crift’ are a desirable addition to the fleét and no more subject to mimse than battleshins or other surface craft. It is believed the committee which ix representative of ‘American publio opirtion In every walk of life; endorses this view. Tilegal use of submarines, naturnally, it was said. would -be con- demned by both naval officers and efvill- ane. The report was sent with others of the advisory rommittee to Secretary Hughes for such use as he may desirs to make of it In the course of the con- ference. It was mot made public. When ithe question of submarines comes uo, however, the American delegation will have the backing of American publio optnion as gleaned by memters of the American advisory committes to support Amerlcan opposition to any proposal to abolish submarines or to lmit their sizs in any drastic degree. The British del- |egation has lnd!uted'!: would raise the matter of the size of sibmarines and the |tonnage allowances under the Hughes' replacement nlan when that item was reached by the conference.
