THE SUBMARINE QUESTION.
Washington, Der, 27. The submarine is still the great question. Washington cor respondents agree in declaring that Lord Lee and Mr. Balfour by their powerful and eloquent arguments won a moral veetary. the sequel being the American proposal to reduce from 90,000 tans to 601000 tons the submarine tinnage allotted to the United States) and Britain and allat to France £2,000 tona, Japan 2,000 tons and thus scrapping Italy about 2,000 tons, England and America over 20,000 tons, Japan retaining present 120nage, Italy increasing Mr. her tonnage by 4,000 and France adding nearly 14,000 tona. Balfour accepted the proposal. The French delegates are consult-
lasist on ing with Paris, but are against acceptance. Italy equality with France and Japan adheres to her demand for the 54,000 tons originally allotted, but declared at Washington that she is not vitally interested in the matter and is not likely to hold out alone. Hence, the cutcome 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 submersible, all five Powers agreeing to leave their submarine strength distributed as at present in the various sea areas.

In the Naval Committee, Mr. Hanihara said the Japanese delega- tion was unable to convince itself that the submarine was not an effec- tive and necessary weapon of defence. Japan had made a consider- able sacrifice in accepting the 5-0 capital ship ratia, yet in the interest of the success of the Gnference she was prepared to accept! the same ratio regarding submarines. This would give Japan 54,000) tons, instead of 31,000 under the American proposal. Japan was animated solely by considerations of defence. Japan geographically was so remotely situated that it must be evident tall that her sub-) marines wvid me nstitute a menace.
