At the meeting of the Naval Committec on December 24, M. Sarraut pointed at that there were no guarantees that countries unrepresented at the conference would conform to the decisions of the conference in regard to submarizes. A conterence of all countries interested in submarines might Mr. Balfour decide the question of retention or abolition of submarines, teplying emphasised that submines were offensive and not defensive
