There is understood already to exist an understanding between the “Dig three” for a settlement of the Raval question and in some authori tative quarters it was predicted a de- tailed agreement would be definitely Feached at another meeting of these three statesmen tovlay. This general understanding Is be Neved to invelve: 1. A definite agreement among the three powers on the 5-5-3 capital! ship ratio. 2.

Others, however, were almost ht larious in their rejoicing. and, on the other hand, a few were bitterly critical. Features were printed in Tokyo pa pers today carrying strong appeals for friendly relations between the United States and Japan ‘The reaction here was tempered. however, by these phases of the sit uation: First, by considerable sentimental regret over abrogation of the Angio- Japanese alliance: second, a feeling that success of the quadruple alliance fs uncertain ‘unless there ix a subse quent agreement regarding China and regarding fortifications on the Pacific; third, the fact that news papers and anti-government leaders! are doing their utmost to discredit the attitude of Japanese delegates at Washington. see Report McAdoo Is Opposing Treaty) WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Witliam G.
