The logic and justice of the American view was finally conceded by the Japanese after somewhat prolonged discussion. In reality America was extremely liberal in not assigning much greater weight than was assumed by the plan to her building program of 15 capital ships. Construction was proceeding rapidly upon this vast project, which already averaged about 35 per cent completion, and which would be finished in about two years. The designs incorporated all the principal lessons of the war so that the completed ships would entirely outclass most of the existing ships of the British and Japanese navies, which had no equivalent number of ships under construction. Japan had 5 capital ships under construction, together with a paper program for 10 more which were omitted from the status quo calculations.
