MONSELL VISCOUNT MONSELL ANSWERS NAGANO
SHARP EXCHANGE WITH TOKYO'S DELEGATE
London, Jan. 8.
Japan's firm insistence on her cardinal demand for recognition of a common upper limit for the navies of the great powers, has brought the Naval Conference here to the verge of complete breakdown,
The Japanese attitude is responsible, too, for sharp ex- changes between Viscount Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Admiral Osami Nagano, respectively heads of the British And Japanese naval delegations to the conference,
At the opening of proceedings, Admiral Naganotated that he was not prepared to discuss other plans until quanta- tive limitation and the common upper limit question - were settled. Admiral Nagano said that in his opinion the French suggestion for a plan whereby an exchange of information relating to proposed building should be adopted, did not constitute quantitative limitation of naval armaments.
Viscount Monsell replied that asi the plans for exchange of building in- | formation were on the agenda the Japunast should have indicated their unwillingness to participate in dis- cussion of these mintters earlier.
All other delegations then UX- pressed their disinclination at present | to change their programme of dis cussion, and the conversations re-

STRIKE THREAT IN BRITAIN
COAL MINE CRISIS LOOMS AGAIN
WORKERS EXPECTED TO REJECT OWNERS' PLAN'
London, Jun. 8.
The coal situation is critical,, following indications that the miners' leaders are expected to reject the owners' proposals to-morrow, on the ground that they are neither uniform nor national.
Proposals may be made to-morrow for levelling up the owners' offers by the formation, possibly, of a central wage pool, or an ultimate general average increase of ninepence per day. The men are asking for an increase of two shillings a day.
If the negotiations break down completely, strike notices will be handed in, to expire on January 27.
Following a conference with representatives of the coal- owners' sub-committee, the mine workers visited the Mines Department to-day and had an interview lasting two and a quarter hours with the Secretary of Mines, Captain Crookshank. At this interview, the men's representatives asked the Govern. ment to provide temporary financial assistance to the industry, with a view to averting a stoppage. The Secretary of Mines, however, reiterated the Government's earlier refusal to grant such assistance,
