Jacques Halnville, editor of l.a Liberie, says the tonnages proposed by Secretary Hughes indicate that the United States means te retain the advance and supeiierity it hnb ever Japan. "If the bypethesib Is admissible that the Hritlsh forces will join the Japa nese," sajs Ihe writer, "the United Slates would be In a position of mani fest Inferiority.

The leading interest in the Conference will He in thh." The Journal Des Ilebats sas the Hughes plan involves the abrogation of tlic Anglo-Jnpancse alliance. "We un derstand the Americans' stubbornness en this question. " nys the newspaper, "but we beg of them te rcllect that the official rupture of this pact would merely give them the appearance of satisfaction. There is no need of n formal ulliancc te bind two countries with regard te certain possibilities. The only real guarantee is regulation of the questions which antagonize their peo ples." The Washington Conference com menced with "a dramatic surprise," sajs tlic Temps, which calls Mr. Hughes' plan "at the same time definite and grand." Seme difficulties which the Temps sees in the way of the plan arc, llrstlv,. of a political nature: (treat Itrltaln' will hac te ask herself if the obstacles she sees arc alie obstacles In the eyes of the Dominions : secondly, of a tech nical nature: limiting of naval fleets for ten yenrst it sajs.

Ily hc Associated Press IjoiiiIeii, Nev. 14. The American proposals for draBtle limitation of naval armament have been received with ex pressions of much favor In Hritlsh of ficial circles. While the Cabinet will net officially discuss the proposals un til the Urltlsh experts have reported after examining them, iti is stated that th" Individual members of the Cabinet wholeheartedly support the bread principles contained in the address of Secretary of State Hughes at the open ing of the Conference nt Washington Saturday. The opinion is geneially expressed that such a plain statement of policy, made at the outset of the Conference, will materially nssist, In the achieve incut of n definite, nlf-reund reduction In armuments.

S. and Japan Hit Hardest I The American plan for a ten-year nn ival holiday and the scrapping of nil but I a limited number of warships, calls for jniueh le3 sacrifice en the part of (ircat Jlliit.iin than bv the United States and Japan, in the view of the naval ceirc- spendent of the Dally Mali. IThe. proposed sacrifice, be says, "would be n heavy one for Japan and he L"nit;d Stales, but oemnnrntlvelv tritlinsr for Great IJritaln, as the intte'r has net yet incurred any great outlay en the four new- ships just ordered. The American sclinmn involves no Injury te Urltlsh interests, for. in plain fact, the r.ritish navy today is third in pest-war ships and ocean-going submarines the two factors which will probably ceupt ler the most tn future naval warfare. The renl citirstien is whether Japan will be con tent te accept conditions which plnce her navy In n position of permanent in feriority." Say Britain Already Leads In Cut Other correspondents point out that (treat Britain has already taken the lead in the reduction of naval nruia uients, Ii-- progressive (cropping of warships since the armistice having amounted up te last April (e mere than fiOO vessels, of which ;100 were destroy. rs. Statistics are printed te show that neither Japan nor the United States las gem very far in thin direction. Most of the naval writers are obvi ously taking time te digest the proposals outlined by Secretary Hughes, and thus far little expert opinion ns distinct pem editorial views has been published here. , A",,.0,',",r- ncws ls: subordinated te the Washington dispatches in thin morning'" newspapers.

' of any batlle "cruiser- clement in- her fleet, Bome officers sal,d( nt enee'indl-. rated clearly that the."' navy was net being maintained with the deliberate idea that it might some day become ad ad vlsable te raid the sea commerce of the two insular Powers, or cither of them. Battle cruisers would be inval uable, perhaps vital, te successful prosecution of n naval war across the Pacific, it was Said, - In the proposal. that the ether two Powers retain battle cruiser squadrons, also, these observers saw u possible con crete expression of American recognition of the necessities in naval forces of these countries; of American willing ness that fhey should prosecute legiti mate ventures ever the world requiring far-flung merchant routes, nnd employ, for protection of these routes, naval craft they thought best suited for tlic need. As. a continental Power, although as serting in this proposal the right te an cqunl footing with any nation en the sens; the United States might net neccs sarlly need battle crulcrs us the ether Powers feel they de, it was said. At anv rate, the American propesnl has mnde a Hat preposition in regard te battle cruisers, which it was thought might 4ie very difficult of treatment at the Conference. It remains te be seen what Japan nnd Great Britain think about it, but a long step toward agree ment en thnt question has been taken, naval folk believe. The American replacement proposal mean that, under the agreement out lined, the fleets of the three Powers, in terms of capital ships, would stand ulti mately ut.iipprexlmtttcly fourteen each for Great Britain and the United States and eight for Japan. The American claim te full 'equality fllth Great Britain is made in the re placement suggestion, and there hns bccrfc'ne hint as yet that the British delegation will oppose It. It means also that Japan would stand, thereafter, nt n fixed ratio of three te five In naval strength in comparison' te the ether two fleets. It is net clear hew that would finally be viewed by Japan. U. S. WILL CONTINUE ITS NAVAL PROGRAM inints of Chinese! territorial -sovereignty Klghth.
