the naval treaty in final shape in time
for announcement at a plenary session
this week. it appeared probable when
the “big five" resumed their discus-

the full naval committee tomorrow or
Monday. Having finished their first
revision of the pact yesterday and re-
turned it to the legal exDer‘ts for a re-
draft of amendments. the delegation
heads were expected today to reach a
final agreement on the section relat-
ing to the disposition of scrapped
ships and also to fixing a. status quo
for Pacific fortifications. upon which
the Japanese delegates are now await-
ing instructions from Tokio.
Although on the former the dele-

warships have aroused unusual inter-
