Washington, Dec. 2.

ine Dominion representatives are actively co-operating with the British delegation, and Mr. Balfour is especially gratified at the perfect harmony with which the whole delegation is working. No decision has been reached without common consultation on every question..

Washington, Dec.

The impression is growing in American Navy circles that it mar prave to be expedient to modify Secretary Hughes' ten years' naval holiday scheme suelently to permit of continuance of the building of capital ships during the holiday-upon the most restrict- [ed basis. Evidently the Americans share the view of the British

and Japanese delegates that such a modification is necessary.

It is understood that a new stage in the negotiations for a pava! ratio, which is, described as most formidable, has been reached by the Conference of British. United States,ap: Japanese delegates; An official statement says: "Mr. Balfour, Baron Kato and Secretary Hughes have extended the interview respecting navat proposals, and nói sámament upon the interview can be made at present." Immediate- ir afterwards the Japanese began to communicate with Tokio.

Oriental Bargaining Criticised.

London, Dec. 3.

A special to The Times from Washington says there are signs that Japan will modify her demand for seventy per cent. capitalship] tonnage. Indeed, some of the Japanese delegates explain that thei demand was never made, whereby they apparently mean that it has substance of not been submitted formally but only formed the Japanese arguments in the naval negotiations. This method of bargaining is not likely to improve the moral status of Japan in the eyes of the American people, whose interest in the, Conference :3 intense. If the report of Japanese intentions is accurate their ac ceptance of the 5-5-3 ratio will probably be found to be contingent upon conditions regarding non-fertideation of naval bases in the Parif. Some progress has been made re the Shantung question though not without the necessity of reminding sundry Chinese delegates that their tactics are al-o the reverse of helpful. Never-| theless the prospect of reaching through the conference a basis for improvement of the situation in China is now better than it has hitherto been and, when the naval tussle is faished, the Chinese outlook may also be clearer.

There is absolutely no question of the full territoriali
