Japan resists fixed ratios and may accept cruisers only slightly better than 5-3, while discussions outline possible resolutions freeing future treaties from Washington limits. The delegates also consider preserving Washington agenda for a 1931 conference and potential carrier size changes due to rapid air progress.

Arizona Supreme Court Rules Gas Tax Funds Limited
The Arizona Supreme Court rules a mandamus against State Treasurer Calahan to credit the 25 percent fund and county 75 percent fund with a quarter of the gasoline tax, and declares that the 25 percent fund cannot be expended without legislative authorization. The decision affects about $430,900 in next year’s gas revenue and clarifies that the highway department lacks funds beyond the 75 percent share without further legislation. The court answers two questions about Chapter 76 taxes: whether they remain in force and if they are usable by the highway department without new legislation.
