IS BOMBARDED BY A. L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—The United States today was faced with the difficult task of preventing the “serapping” of any vital points of its sweeping program for limitation of naval armaments. ‘The Hughes program, hailed by the world, and accepted “in principle” by Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy in the last open seasion of the conference on limitation of arma. ment, is now being subjected to a virtual bombardment of suggested modifications by Great Britain and Japan. . JAPAN AND BRITAIN WOULD MODIFY ‘The latest development in the cam- paign to modify the Hughes proposal is that within only a few minutes apart Admiral Baron Kato, ranking member of the Japanese delegation, and a high British spokesman have made it plain important changes in the American plan are desired by these governments, Japan's positien probably will be the harder of the two powers to re- concile with the Hughes p: m. The situation is being given care ful consideration by the American gates and the advisory council. The positions of Japan, Great Britain and America for reduction of navies is as follows: As indicated by American con. struction authorities, this govern. ment probably will make concessions to Japan—for the present. This may mean Japan's fleet will be 65 per cent during the holidays, but it is Japan, even with the lower fleet, in strategically better placed than either Britain or America alone, due to the element of distance. AMERICA OPPOSES SHIPYARD PLAN America is opposed to the joint shipyard plan as impairing the holl- day idea and as unnecessary. Brit- ish arguments are deemed invalid. America is willing to make some cut in sumbarines — but not much, American authorities consider also halted some construction work, was giving serious consideration to the issuance of imilar order. The British suspengion, the Amer- BRITAIN SERVES NOTICE BY J. W. T. MASON Written for the United Press Great Britain's startling action in suspending construc: tion work on her four post- Jutland superdreadnaughts is notice that the British govern- ment has decided, if necessary, to compel success of the dis- armament conference by co- operation with America, against any recalcitrant group. This sudden initiative comes at & most opportune moment. A halt has occurred below the surface because of the hard attitude of the Japanese militarists. ‘The most significant facts in Japanese circles since the con- ference began are Ambassador Shidehara’s sudden “‘illness” and the refusal of Admiral Kato to receive a petition from Japanese correspondents = in Washington urging acceptance of the American naval pro- gram. Shidehara is the leader of the Japanese liberals at the con- ference. He is now engaged in a battle with the elder statesmen, The Japanese journalists at Washington “represent public opinion at home. Like Shide- hara, they are liberals, will discipline, not listen to public opinion, conservative Now, howeyer, that Great Britain has given unmistakable evidence of intention to co- operate with America, the Jap- anese militarists may well pause. Japan fears the isola- tion that would be her lot if an Anglo-American entente were formed, \ him a hundred million pounds, nor- mally about $500,000,000)." He fur- ther expressed the belief that the work on the four ships specified George, who instructed the admiral- ty to take such action. “The decision is the logical out- come of what is occurring in Wash- ington,” declared Admiral Mark Kerr, “There is no use in spending money in building ships if all are to be scrapped.” FOUR! WARSHIPS WORLD'S GREATEST ‘The four vessels had been planned by British 1 experts, after more than a year’s study, as the world's greatest. They were to be larger and faster than the Japanese Negato, now the world’s greatest fighting ship. ae ‘The proposed ships were known as the super-Hoods and also as the “hush ships. The latter name arose from the fact that the admiralty had given out only very meager information about the plans for the big vessels, It was known, however, that they were des- tined to make express speed—more than 40 miles an hour, now made by the latest battle cruisers, In addi- tion, they were to carry an arma- ment not only greater than the best battle cruisers, but greater than the biggest dreadnoughts. ‘The halting of @ British battleship once planned ig unprecedented, In pratice, not even the house of com: mons exercised its right to question naval estimates when they were laid | before it, ‘Three of the super-Hoods were be- ing built at the River Clyde yards and one at Newcastle-on-Tyne. ‘They would have cost between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 pounds, The order was interpreted as being stances should render it necessary, These would have been the first big ships of post-Jutland construction, eee GLASGOW, Nov. 18.—The admir- alty’s order suspending construction on the new superdreadnaughts threw the River Clyde region into con- sternation today.
