The naval in in tle and Shantung, new the two over ever Windowing Issues .of the Arms Confer ence, both were nt a crucial stage today, but with varying prospects of Immediate ettlcmcnt. There wns every indication that the naval ratio discussions wcre proceeding favorably, and some of the delegates be lieved n Cnnl solution would be reached nt the conference of the "Big Three" Jnte. today. The Sh.intung negotiations, en the ether hand, have developed a situation described in official circles as "very delicate." nnd the Japanese delegate have referred te Tokie the matter of the Klao-Chew rnllread, a point which has developed Inte an issue. It is hinted thnt the Chlncse and Japanese pleni potentiaries may refer their differences i, directly te n "Big Four" composed of heads of the American, British, Japan ese and Chlncse delegations. Japan's desire te retain her new battleship Mutsu Is the issue about which center the naval discussions, with the Jnpane.sc apparently ready te ac cept the American "five-flve-threc" plan If permitted te keep the Mutsu and scrap Instead an elder vessel. Would Balance Naval Concessions Similar concessions for the Brltich and American navies would be requisite an an offset, and the task of arranging all the technical details involved is ene which requires considerable discussion. In the Shantung negotiation, in the matter of the Klao-Chew railway, China ha,s made pledges of payment which her delegates think ample te com pensate the Jnpnncse for improvements they have made en the read, but the Japanese delegates ure unwilling te accept the offer, nnd consequently have cabled Tokie for further instructions as te what form of security should be required. A British spokesman pointed out to day thnt Japan's suggestion for reten tion of the .Mutsu would result in th" Japanese having two warships of the largest type, the Mutsu and the Negate Then, said the spokesman, the British and Americans would have te make a readjustment of the list if the five-five-three-ratio was te be maintained. TJie British mbtht have te build two mere Heeds, nnd en the ether hahd the Japanese might have te scrap some ad ditional ships, of the elder tpes, In order te maintain the ratio. Japane.wChlnese Crisis Fallure of the Chinese nnd Japanese delegates te agree as te the Klao-Chew railroad probably would bring some pro posal from the British and American observers In a hope still te keep the dispute out of the Conference proper, n British spokesman said today. If this proposal proved futile, he added, mere than likely Messrs. Hughes, Balfour and Knte, and a Chinese representa tive would take a hand in a further at tempt te effect a settlement "satisfactory uum iu i,iuna anu japan. There appears te be no doubt in Con ference circles that the Chinese and Japanese have reached a crisis in the discussions concerning the Chinese offer te purchase outright the railroad. The possibility that Japan, through xthe seemingly simple question of se curity, could rctnln a financial control ever the railroad which, while strictly a banker a preposition, virtually would exclude the Chinese from nnv author ity, is net being overlooked by the Chinese, who assert thnt China's con trol of the read, while apparently granted by Japan, might actually be seriously restricted. Discuss Spheres of Influence The question of foreign-leased ter ritories In China and special spheres et Influence were taken up again by the Far Eastern Committee, but no action was taken and only a brief bps bps sien was held. Chinese representatives Presented a detailed statement en spe cial spheres of Influence, particulariz ing these te which China especially objects. Japanese representatives said they desired te study this statement. and thereupon the comraittce adjourned until tomorrow. . The sub-committee, headed by Sen Sen aeor Underwood, te which was referred the question of the Chinese tariff, is preparing te resume its work. The sub committee new has before it a request from China for increase from 5 te 7l . per cent in the Chinese tariff.
