GENEVA,

Study
of
the
British
and
Japanese
proposal
for
naval
reduction
has
created
the
belief
among
the
American
delegates
to
the
three
power
conference
that
It
would
be
easier
to
arrive
at
art
agreement
on
the
basis
of
the
Japanese
than
the
British
suggestions.
Nevertheless
experts
think
the
plans
of
the
three
nation
so
widely
divergent
that
agreement
Is
Impossible
unless
someone
withdraws
from
the
position
taken.
Britain's
"Idea
of
reducing
the
size
and
armaments
of
capital
ships
and
cruisers
)s
not
likely
to
be
adopted
by
the
United
States."
