WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The drafting experts of the five big naval powers started work today on the construction of a treaty which will incorporate the decisions of the Washington conference and define the limits of the world's greatest navies for the next ten years. The naval subcommittee of fifteen met for several hours this morning and dlsenssed the French proposal of allowing replacement construction to begin in 1927, instead of in 1931, and also methods of scrapping. No agreement was reached on either question, although experts said they believed a scheme could be evolved whereby great sums of money could be saved. Actual completion of the document must await the gathering lip of several loose ends of the naval agreement, but in its main essentials the agreement already is perfected and ready to put on paper. The one outstanding feature yet to be determined is the question of whether submarines are to be outlawed as demanded oy the British and American Governments. Japan, France and Italy have not agreed to this far-reach-ing provision, and the matter Is now under consideration In Paris, Totlo and Rome. Other details yet to be adjusted will present some difficulties but it is hoped to clear them up within two more weeks. FOFR MAINPOINTS OF TREATY. The treaty will be written about four main points, as follows: J. The United States and Great Britain shall each retain 500.000 tons of c a [,|t a ] ships; Japan 300.000 and France and Italy each 175.000 tons, with no vessel armed with (runs greater than sixteen inches. 5. In auxiliary ships, Mich as cruisers, torpedo boats, etc., the powers are free to bnild as many as their treasuries can stand, but none are to be greater than 10.000 tons in elie or mount guns of greater calibre than eight inches. 3. In airplane carriers, the Cnited .“•fates and Great Britain are each to have five, Japan three and l’ranee and Italy two each, with none greater than 27.000 tons In size, nor mounting guns of greater calibre than eight inches. 4. A ten-year naval holiday Is to he observed solely in the matter of capital ships, with provisions laid down as to methods of replacement, etc. .
