FINAL DECISION,
ON NAVAL PLAN
EXPECTED SOON
CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE GIVEN
BY JAPAN TO PROPOSED
RATIO
PACIFIC PEACE TREATY
SICNED BY 4 POWERS
Shantung Negotiations Nearly Reach
Deadlock'After Continued
Conferences
Washington, Dec. 13.-Japan has in-
dicated conditional acceptance of the
American "five-five-three" naval ratio,
and a final settlement of the question
appears imminent.
After another meeting of the naval
"big three" late today it was said that
"one very small point" alone remained
to be determined.
Want to Retain Mutsu
The Japanese acceptance to the
American plan is understood to center
about her desire to retain her new
battleship Mutsu ahd scrap instead a
vessel af older type If she is per-
mitted to do so, it is indicated that the
United States and Great Britain will
insist on similar concessions for them-
selves always in the ratio of "five-five-
three".
While the naval problem was enter-
ing what appeared to be its decisive
stage, another of the big projects of
/ the arms conference was brought to
consummation. The new four-power
treaty to preserve peace in the Pacific
was formally sealed and signed by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, and France.
Reservation in Treaty
-The quadruple agreement as finally
approved, however, has attached to it
a reservation proposed by the Ameri-
can delegates and accepted by the oth-
er powers It provides that no purely
domestic question shall fall within the
scope of the treaty and that none of
the treaty provisions shall be con-
strued as a modification of the Amer-
ican policy towd Pacific mandates, a
subject to be dealt with in a separate
treaty, now nearing completion, be-
tween the United States and Japan.
Meantime indications develops that
in another branch of the Washington
negotiations, concerned with Shan-
tung, things were not going so smooth-
ly. After nearly a dozen meetings in
which apparent progress had been
made,both the Japanese and the Chi-
nese came out of a conference late
today in dampened spirits.

PHILOSOPHY HEAD STRESSES
NEED FOR CLEAR THINKING
Prof. William H. Butts, assistant
dean of the engineering college and
Prof. Robert M. Wenley, of the philos-
ophy department, were the two speak-
ers at the sophomore engineer smoker
held last night at the Union.
Dean Butts Speake
A short talk explaining the work
that the engineering college was do-
ing and commending the class of '24
on the record it is making in the
school, was given by Dean Butts who
stated that Michigan is now graduat-
ing enginers who compare favorably
with ihose from any other school i
the United States.
Professor Wenley's talk dealt with
the position of the engineer in the
practical world of today and some o
the problems which he has to meet.
He said that the engineering profes-
sion is at present one of the greatest
in the world and is gaining in import-
ance every day. .
Stresses Clear Thinking
He attempted to impress upon his
hearers the necessity for clear think-
ing in the practical world and pointed
out some of the obstacles that enter
the path of unprejudiced though.
These obstacles may arise from en-
vironment such as nationality, birth
br they may come from temperament.
Religion and politics often influence
reason and in order to think correctly
it is necessary to consider problems
abstractly.

IN BRIEF
Belgrade, Dec. 13.-The National As-
sembly tonight ratified the treaty of
peace betwen the United States and
Hungary.
Baltimore, Md., Dec. 13.-Thousands
of shopmen employed on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad will be furloughed
indefinitely Saturday when shops over
the entire system will be shut down.
Washington, Dec. 13. - Basic busi-
ness and financial conditions through-
out the country have been improved
greatly during the past year, but
"normalcy" is yet to be attained, Gov-
ernor Harding, of the federal reserve
board, declared tonight in an address
here before the Washington Chamber
of Commerce.
"It is my sober conviction," he
said, "that basic financial conditions
in this country are very much better
than they were 12 months ago. Busi-
ness has passed through the primary
stage, the acute period of reaction, but
it has not yet reached 'normalcy', for
the readjustment has not been uni-
form, and there is not yet established
a natural and equitable basis for the
exchange of goods for goods, or goods
for services."
