NAVAL DISARMAMENT SCHEME FAULTY,

London, Dec. 2

The labours of the naval experts have revealed an extra- ordinary oversight in drafting the Hughes naval holiday proposals, possibly invalidating the whole scheme. It appears that at the end build of the ten years naval holiday, Britain. will be entitled twelve dreadnoughts of 25,000 tons each, replacing ships twenty years old and giving Britain an overwhelming superiority over all the navies of the world, as the United States will be only entitled to four, and Japan one new dreadnought. The position will be reversed six years later, when the preponderance will pass America.

The New Scheme."

to

the

The discovery was made by British experts and submitted to the Americans, who reluctantly acquiesced, agreeing that scheme was more likely to provoke war than guarantee peace. It ia reliably learned that the experts are examining a new proposal, whereby while adhering to Mr. Hughes' wnnage ratios the United States and Britain will each be entitled to build two battleships every three years, thus keeping in employment their skilled artisans, also the very valuable armour-plating and gun-making plants, which otherwise would have to be subsidised.

The Japanese Attitude.

It is pointed out that according to the raw scheme. Japan will be allowed to keep the Mutsu. The Japanese attitude is regarded as the key to the whole Conference. It is reported that the un- animus opinion of the American and British delegations regards Japan's insistence on more battleships as unwarranted; but the Japanese are skilled bargainers and desire before anally committing themselves to ascertain America's decision regarding the fortica tion of naval bases in the Paside. They are also wishin! of await. ing the outcome of the deliberations of the Far Eastern Committer regarding China.

THE SHANTUNG QUESTION,

Washington. Dec. 2.

A demonstration in favour of the une nditionat return Shantung was made by Chinese before the headquarters of the Chinese delegation. The crowd consisted of Chinese students and merchants, augmented by scores of Chinese brought here on account of the Conference. It occurred just as the Chinese delegates were departing for the initial conversation with the Japanese on Shan- tung. There was no disorder, the crowd gradually dispersing after speeches by three of the Chinese delegates.

An ocial message says: The first Shantung conierence was attended by Mr. Allred Sze. Dr. Wellington Koo. and Mr. Chang Hui-wang, accompanied by Messrs. Trau. Wang Han and Chao Kuo for China and by Baren Kato, Mr. Hanibara and Mr. Debuchi, accompanied by Messrs. Saburi, Kimura, Saito and Shiratori for Japan. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour opened the meeting, which discussed procedure.

It will als propose ship subsidies for the merchant marine, as supplementary to free tolls on coast- wise shipping through the Panama Canal.

BIG STEEL AMALGAMATION.

New York. Dec. 2.

The report that an amalgamation of the majority of the inde- pendent steel companies in America is under consideration was practically confirmed to-night.
