WASHINGTON, NOV. 12. ANTICIPATING THE FAILURE OF THE LONDON NAVAL CONVERSATIONS AND THE 1935 NAVAL CONFERENCE OF THE THREE MAJOR SEA POWERS, EXPERTS OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT HERE ARE LAY- ING TENTATIVE PLANS FOR NEW SHIPS.
Officials do not believe that Japan will accept the British compromise proposals, which, in effect, grant Japan equality in principle in exchange for a gentlemen's agreement that Japan will not build above a specified figure. By this means the ratio of the present time would not be materially altered, according to the British scheme, but any loss of Japanese prestige through a forced inferiority would be precluded.
It is authoritatively learned, maRESTLING ENTEREDEZETTE that the American delegation at London has no alternative pro- posal to offer.
Officials doubt the likelihood of a general Anglo-Japanese alignment against the United States, pointing out that Britain could not thus protect her great commercial stakes in the Far East, with the diffeult political and radien problems facing her there.
They are Inclined to the view that the present jockeying in London la no more than an Anglo- Japanese attempt to saddle the United States with the responsibili- ty of breaking up the conversations, though it is not suggested that British and Japanese delegates kave ngreed to disagree.--United Prena,

Categorical denial was given by MacDonald this evening! to rumours current in the United States that alongside the naval conversations in London there was "intense, secret economic and political activity between the British and the Japanese parties. The Prime Minister sharply denied that the Japanese. had
