Frank Blmoada Washington Nov 12 At tho very outset of tho Washington conference the Japanese have thrown down a challenge to Mr Hughe and to the American policy which however characterised by th spirit of concession nevertheless carries with it consequences which can not be mistaken In substance and through th recent interview ef Baron Kato th Japanese have undertaken to counter Mr Hughes' manifest effort to dispose of tho Far Eastern quostion before dealing finally with the problem of tho limitation of armaments In substance Baron Kato has proposed reductions in the Japanese nays! program which exceed any real expectations here Unmistakably his purpose is to appeal to tho very wide popular conception in this country that the conference ia designed to reduce armamenta and thus prevent sr But in rehlity no ono can mistake tho fact that what the Japanese are after ia to postpone if not prevent discussion of tho Far Eastern question until public interest begins to wan and popular concern to diminish Tho Japanese have offered Mr Harding and Mr Hoghes a very substantial program of success for their conference On th basis of whst Bsroa Kate suggests aa agreement might be reported between Great Britain and Japan and the United Stale which wonld enable the American and other' statesmen to go bark ta their reepoetivo countries pointing to considerable achievement la fields where achievement was popularly looked for Th maneuver Is clever It ie well timed It ie unmistakably well calculated to catch publie interest and enlist popular approval It waa expected that Japan would open tho eonfereneo with a counteroffensive since it waa obviously fslsl to her position to adopt an attituda of passive defense But it woe expected that thie offensive would be di reeled at American naval programs and American military construction in the-Pacific There waa belief thel th Japanese would attack ear proposals te fortify Guam and bring into question1 our naval plana 'of reeunl years The present Japanese opcVnUeh ft far more skillful On the surfsedit ie tk disclosure of a spirit of moderation and of concession which must seem at ones attractive -and disarming But it strikea right at th root ef precisely that purpose which has bscomo tho dominant factor in tha minds of Amerieaa statesmanship namely the eolutlon of tho Far Eastern problem It is one of the most daring and skillful diplomatic thrusts in the history of reeent 'international relations Nor is it alone the American reaction to this gesture which must be considered Tha Japanese publie will read that Baron Koto in his statement has proposed program ef the limitation of naval construction which goes beyond tha limit of expectation in his own country Ho will bo very severely criticised in many quarter! for cuea a proposal But if ia addition to this proposal th representatives ef the united States in ths eonfereneo insist on further concessions persist in raising the Chinee and Siberian questions nothing is mors likely than that the reaction at home may consolidate all lementa within tha Japanese empire In word tho flret Japanese move in this great game of chess which is the Washington conference at one time envisage undermining the diplomatic adversary abroad and fortifying tha Japanese position at homo For those to whom parallel Is important tha analogy between tha situation in which Mr Wilson found himself In the opening day of tho Paris conference and that in which lha Japanese have put Mr Hughes is striking In Pans every kind of pressure was put upon Mr Wilson to post- rone discussion of tho league of na-ions proposal until Ihs terms of peace were written Now tho Japanese design Is manifestly to prevail upon Mr Hughes to postpone th Far Eastern discussion until tho question of the limitation of armamente is disposed of Mr Wilson resisted the European maneuver which to be ears found American support Mr Hughes now at tha outsat of th conference Is called upon to defend hie program In a similar fashion The Japanese have "carried the wsr into It now remain to bs seen whether Mr Hughes ran rotors tha Asiatic front (Copyright 1921 by

Great Britain and Japan shall scrap 68 capital ships aggregating 1878043 tons Within three months after the conclusion of an agreement the United States would have 18 capital ships Great Britain 22 and Japan ten The tonnage- of the three nations respectively would under such a plan be £00660 604450 and 299700 Ships when 20 years old might bo replaced under the plan and the re- filacement scheme is 600000 tons for he United States: 600000 tons for Great Britain and 800000 tons for Japan Mo replacement ship could exceed 35000 tons The united Slates would scrap 80 capital ships aggregating

delegates were stunned No other word describes their feelings The principal features of the American plan proposed: That for not less than ten years competitive naval building cease as between Great Britain the United States and Japan That all capital ships building or planned be scrapped ana a few recently placed in the water be destroyed within three months after ratification of the agreement That the older ships of each fleet be also destroyed reducing the British to 22 battleships the American to 18 and the Japanese to ten each ship to be retained being Specifically named That during the agreement no capital craft be laid down exeept under a detailed replacement scheme in- eluded in the proposal which would provide for ultimate equality of the British and American fleets and for a Japanese force at 60 per cent of the strength of either of the other two That all other naval craft be similarly provided for in the same ratio specific figures for aggregate tonnage in each class being laid down Naval Alrcrals Disregarded That naval aircraft be disregarded in the scaling down processes as a problem incapable of solution owing to the convertibility of commercial aircraft for war purposes That no naval building of any character be undertaken in any of the three countries on foreign account dur-ing the life of the agreement That no capital ships hereafter laid down exceeded 85000 tons That the life of a battleship shall bo fixed at 20 years and that ships to be replaced be destroyed before the replacement veiael is more than three monthe passed completion That no battleship replacement what ever be undertaken far ton years from dalo of tho ogreement That no combat eraft bs acquired sjcxct pt by construction und none bo so 'disposed of that it might become part
