Italy insists on an aquality with France and Japan adheres ta her demand for the 84,000 tons origin ally allotted, but declared at Washington that she is not vitally interested in the matter and nob likely to hold out alone. Hence the outcome largely depends upon the French reply.
Should the American plan fail to bring the Powers together, there is some talk of trying to secure a building holiday in the case of submersibles, all five Powers agreeing to leave their submarine strength distributed as at present in the various

He suggested the submarine might become anti-aircraft defence in view of its "submerging cap ability. He said the French delegation was also convinced that the idea of large submarines could not be dismissed. Mr. Balloar replying to Admiral Debon's argumenta regarding submarines for de fensive asce emphatically denied that the immunity of attack enjoyed by the German consts in the war was due to submarines. He cited the bombardment of Zeebrugges, when full of submarines, for hours without loss or injury of a British ship. He also instanced the in significant, results accomplished by sub- marines when the British lay for months in the Dardanelles. Mr. Balfour said that if submarines were allowed it would be necessary for navies to be increased to Eght submarines. by small craft Admiral Debon had said that suck craft were obtainable from merchantmen and fishermen. Mr. Balfour asked where France and Italy were going to get these and pointed out that the most difficult problem of the war was the maintenace of son communications. Towards develop ing the auxiliary craft to deal with sub- marines France contributed 257, Italy 289 and British 3,876 ships. If the war had been fought without Britain what would have prevented an absolute block ade of the French coasts? He declared that no country in Europe bat Britain would be able to tackle the submarine peril; therefore, it must not be supposed that Britain would suffer most or even have her security imperilled by future submariniam. AMERICA'S PROPOSALS DECLINED:
In the Namal Committee, Mr. Hanibara said the Japanese delegation was unable to convince itself that the submarine was not an effective and necessary weapon of defence. Japan had made a considerable sacrifico in accepting the 5-5-3 capital ship ratio, yet in the interest of the

LORD LEE'S STATEMENT.
WASHINGTON, December 23rd. Continuing the British case for the abolition of submarines, Lord Lee con- tended that go far sa suhmarines were concerned the American proposals were inconsistent with the objects of the Con ference, since they permitted America to construct an additional 6,500 tons, British 9,500 tone, and Japan $1,800 tons, thus fostering this type of vessel which was more objectionable than surface craft. He declared that methods of location, detection and destruction of submarines had now proceeded farther than sub marines themselves. He controverted the argument that submarines were a cheap form of defence, and declared they were soap for the aggressor but not for the victim. He denied that Britain was in spired by selfish motives, and pointed out that she had coastlines aggregating nearly as much as the other Conference Powers combined
MR. HUGHES AND OTHERS REPLY. Mr. Hughes declared that Lord Lee's opening figures were inaccurate. America grossessed 9,500 tons of submarinca, thus the adoption of his proposals would Envolve sorapping 6,000 tms.

BRITISH OBJECTION TO SUBMARINES.
WASHINGTON, December 28th. The British delegation's attitude in regard to submarines was, expressed by Mr. Balfour at a meeting of the Naval Committee on the 24th inst, as follows: The use of submarines, whilst of small value for defence purposes, leads inevit ably to acts inconsistent with the laws of war and the dictates of humanity, and the delegation desires that united action by all nations should forbid their main- tonance, construction, or employment."
