THREE ON LIMITATION Gibson in Radio Address Claims Parley Generally Successful C. SPEfKS.

B.t Cable to the Poat-Gazvtte. Copyright, 193l- bj Stw yort TilBet LONDON'. April 6. The American delegation expects in the next two or three days definitely to show whether the London Conference is to produce a five-power or three-power treaty. This waa Indicated tonight when Ambassador Gibson, speaking: over the radio, broadly tinted that a three-power pact may be although careful to adl that there still are hopes that an agreement that all five can sign will b9 achieved at London.

The American delegates are almost ready to admit the failure of a five power treaty but are mailing and hoping that some way, somehow. there will be a five-power revival in the next few days. Some observers professed to read Into the Gibson speech an advance' notice that a five-power agreement a almost lost. In fact, he empha sized the battleship replacement sarin to tbe United States, Britain and japan, adding- that these nations now are in agreement on all main essentials. It la indicated that this may the direction the conference takes before another week passes.

Two Treaties Possible. The failure of the five powers to aree may mean two treaties, one covering submarine warfare against merchant vessels and the other the bmitation by America, Britain and Japan. All five having at a plenary session agreed on the submarine proposition, it would be possible for all to sign that treaty. This treaty is about ready for the final draft. The submarine treaty is practically the same as the one negotiated In WashiLiton in 19:2, which did not become effective owing to the failure of France to ratify it.

The clauses of the Washington treaty which made submarine commanders who sink merchantmen, except when means of rescue of the passengers and crew are at hand, triable as pirates in othr as well as his own courts, is understood to have been eliminated at the instance of trance. There is no gloomier spot in ail London than at American quarters today. Morrow was there off and on and so were Senators Robinson and Reed and Secretary Adams. They were not oozing optimism today. Instead they were as quiet as cculd be for.

as one put it "it is no time for talking with the child so Dar death." WAS HIX TOX. A rril LT) Holding out hope that a 5-power agreement might be reached at the London naval conference, Hugh S. Gibson, a member of the American legation, said today in a radio address that the result should be determined within the next few days. "We have good reasons to hope that a 5-power agreement may be signed before we leave here," Gibson Said in his address, which was broadcast from London and given out here by the State Department. m.

"Whether this la to be," he added, sre ought to know within a few days. If this Is to be. it will mark the most notable testimony to the existence of a more secure confidence and peaceful world than any ftv powers hare given since the war.
