' T- The 10. proposals submitted Tliurs
Jday by -the Chinese delegation, as
Jtvas expected, formed the basis for
jthe discussions at today's meeting
and all of the delegations were un
derstood to have expressed agree
jmentj at least in principle with Chi-
I, Big (Juestion of Meet
' The precise, attitude of Japan is
becoming more and more the . big
interrogation point of the arms con
ference. When the delegates c-f the
,'fiine Nations assembled again today
jto talk about the far east it was Ja
jfoan ,to whom they looked for the
iint i that would reveal just .what
itrend is to be taken by the negotia
Stions'.as they affect China.
j? In the same way, and perhaps with
f5n interest even more intense, the
tT.
naval experts of the powers were
pondering Japan's request for an in
crease in its proportionate navai
strength, and were wondering
whether it would raise a direct is
sue with the United States by pro-
noting material changes in the ratio
fixed in the American plan.
Interchanges with Tokio during
the two-day recess of committee ses
sions were naid to have provided the
Japanese delegation with comprehen
sive information as to the attitude
of their uovernment but there was
no .authoritative prediction of how
far (hat attitude would be revealed
at the preaent stage of the far east
ern negotiations. Some of the Jap
anese, delegates seemed, to feel it
would b better to develop their pol
icy point by point. ,
General Declaration.
All the other national groups were
ready to make a general declaration
of their opinions, but among them
there was apparently a feeling that
since- China had presented a detailed
"bill of rights" the next- word, be
longed to Japan because she was the
nation most interested. V , ,
The naval question remained
meantime outside the realm". of ac
tual negotiations with the experts of
the five powers working independent
ly to develop their national view
points. But it was a live subject in
the minds of delegates and technical
advisers, all of whom attached great
importance " to the announcement
that -the--United States would stand
determinedly against alteration of the
basic ratio of her plan.- .. . . . ,
Way to Reduce.
In the view of the American dele
gation "the way to reduce is to re
duce," scaling down directly from
existing naval strength without
favoring any nation in the. process.
They insist that present proportion
ate strength . is the only possible
basis for the reduction, declaring that
to open a debate on the subject of
"national needs" and "national aspi
rations" .rather than existing facts
would make the negotiations an end
less tangle of argument.
So if Japan means to suggest a
material change in the fundamental
American principle, so that she will
have a different ratio after reduction
than 'before she', is certain to meet
with determined opposition from the
American delegation. This govern
ment believes the present proportion
is a proper one and the American
naval advisers, at least, are coun
selling that . if the ratio cannot be
maintained by agreement, then it
must be maintained by a continua
tion of competitive building.
British Labor
Demands End to
Anglo-Jap Pact
Manifesto Issued Pledges Sup
port to U. S. Naval Holiday
Plan Asks Land Arms
Also Be Reduced.
London, Nov. 19.-(By The Asso
ciated Tress.) A manifesto issued
today by the labor party on behalf
of the whole labor movement of
Great Britain promises support of
any steps that may be necessary to
make the American proposals for
naval armament reductions effective
and calls for the extension of the
proposals to all forms of armament.
The text of the manifesto declares
labor movement "welcomes and ac
cepts whole heartedly the program
of substantial and progressive reduc
tions proposed by the United States
at' the opening of the present con
ference and will support any meas
ures necessary on the side of Great
Britain for giving effect to these
proposals."
. The' manifesto also calls for non
renewal of the alliance between
Great Britain and Japan.
"British labor," it says, "recog
nizes the existence of and the rea
sons for the widespread hostility ir
the United States against the con
tinuance of the Anglo-Japanese al
liance. i Under no circumstance
could labor contemplate beini
dragged injxi war with Ameri
Labor holds that since both Japai
and Great Britain arc members c
the existing league of nations, th
treaty of alliance should not be re
newed." '

On U. S. Theft Indictment
James Forrest and C. J. Meany '
proprietors of a drug store at 4841 j

week, on the charge of receiving
property stolen from interstate ship

Officer Pays $15j000
For 22 Brown Hands;
They're Full of Water
New York, Nov. 19. When lie
was told that he might drill a hole at
any desired point and take a draught
through a tub therefrom, James
McLaughlin, former policeman, felt
safe in paying $15,000 for 21 brown
barrels selected from a great number
in a warehouse in the Bronx.
But yesterday he was the com
plainant in the Morrisania. court
against Ralph and Theodore Baird.
who gave their occupations as sales
man, and McLaughlin says that it is
because they sold him 22 barrels
filled with water. All of which
brings to light a bootlegging con
fidence scheme the police say.

Boy Bandit Hiding
Place Unearthed
Trio of Boys, 12 Years Old,
Tell of Cave, "Lookouts
'Inside Men' and 'Gang.
Three 12-year-cJd boys told
Judge Willi G. Sears iu juvenile
court yesterday how they commit
ted robberies, and had a regularly or
ganized gang with duly appointed
"inside men" and "lookouts," which
operated from a ."bandit cave" ren
dezvous. The trio, Willis Wisrnu.i; and Ed
ward Jackson, 6101 Milit.'.ry avenue,
and Paul Schuctzc, 60J7 Binney
street, confessed that they brok
into the general store of Giles Bros.,
6101 Military avenue, last Friday
and stoic $2.
They were sentenced to walk to
Rlverview home and remain there
until further orders of the court.
According to the Wiscinen lad,
he "stood jiggers" bandit parlance
for watching for police while the
others crawled down a coal chute
and opened a rear door. Then they
divided the loot In the alley at the
rear of the store.
With some of the money the boy
purchased flashlights and other ac
cessories to a yeygman's outfit and
some furnishings for, their cave in
the Benson district.
The lads admitted that they had
participated in one or two other
small robberies.
The, piercing of women'a ears for
the wearing of ear rings is a survival
of the old heathen customs of mu
tilating the body to please some god.
