FEAR OF JAPAN.
U.S.A. WON T REDUCE NAVY.
MADNESS OF CONCESSIONS. United Press Assn.—By Electric T qlegraph—Copyright. LON HON, January 29. The Naval Conference reassembles to-day for its first discussion on the British plan for reducing the size ot vessels and guns, including the limitation of submarines to coastal dimensions, but the proposals already seem doomed, says the Daily Telegraph’s naval correspondent owing to American, French and Italian ojdposition. The Aremican attitude on qualitative limitation has visibly hardened since Japan withdrew from the Conference. The American view is that Japan’s action appears to foreshadow a bid for naval domination over the whole Far East, therefore it would be madness to make concessions curtailing the range and striking power of the United States fleet. The Conference there lore is most unlikely to effect any reduction in the size of future warships.
