4 RNS CONFERENG TELS OF BATTLE OVER SUBMARINES ‘ Conflicting Claims of Various a Nations Shown in Con- aH mittee Report. WASHINGTON, Dec. $8 (Assocl- ated Press).—An %,000-word com- J Da munique by the Armaments Com- 1 a mittee of the Washington Con- a. ference after yesterday's meet- | * Img was in the form of a para- Phrase of the statement made for the @elegation of each power with respte: to the British proposal that subma- ines be abolished as a naval weapon. The argument of Lord Lee, of the British Admiralty, came first. It stated the view of the British Gov» ernment to be “that what was re- quired was not merely restrictions on submarines, but their total and final abolishment.” Lord Lee asserted that submarines had “achieved real success” against merchant ships only, and made the following summary of what German submariaes had accomplished against mercantile vessels in the war: “No less than 12,000,000 tons of ship- ping had been sunk, of a value of $1,- 100,000,000, apart from their cargo. Over 20,000 non-combatants, men, women and children, had been drowned. For the French delegation, M. Sar~- raut stated his “profound disapproval of the barbarous use which was mado of sutnarines in the Inte wi Schanzer said the Italian naval ex- perts did not share Lord Lee's opin- fon “that submarines are not effi- eient means of defense.” For Japan, Mr. Hanjhara said he was “unconditionally opposed to all e@busive uses of submarines such as those recently committed by a certain “mation,” but felt that a legitimate ‘ase of submarines was justifiable and mecessary for defense. “Mr. Hughes said he understood that the “crux of the controversy is as to ‘the use of the submarine as a weapon ef defense.” ‘The Advisory Committee report on, the submarines declared that “what- ‘ever is said about unlimited warfare Dy submarines is also true of un- Umstead warfare by surface craft, provided the combatant wishes to ‘vivlate the rules of war.” ——————_—_ | .

ANOTHER 4 POWER TREATY” PLANED TONCLUE GERMANY (Continued From First Page.) the potential opponent of the United States, Mr. Harding has informally indica- ted that before tong the European powers would have to include Ger- man yin their discussion of European | questions, and that umt!! Germany sat down at the same table with France and Great Britain there would be no assurance of @ settlement of pending problems, especially roperations. Ip the conferences which have bee" going on in London the French view- point has been that until Great Bri- tain gave France guarantees that she would come to the aid of France in the event of an attack by Germany there could be no curtailment of French land armament or concessions to Germany, ‘The situation is therefore somewhat analogous to that which prompted the four-power pact on the Pacific. In this case the French, having failed to get a three-power pact with Great Britain and the United States guaran- teeing France against unprovoked a- gression, the alternative tx to obtain such a guarantee for France by coupling it up with a German guuran- ter, French Liberais who favor the plan fee no reason why their own Govern. ment should object to {t, since to re fuse to give a pledge that would guar- antes Germany against attack by France might imply an ultimate inten- tion to do so on the part of French imperialists, fireat Britain would, of course, be willing to guarantee that she ‘will not attack Germany, and the jatter would be bound to keep the , for automatically she would in- cur the hostility of Italy, France ani Great Britain if she attempted “un- provoked aggression.” It is indeed an attempt to produce a status such as might have prevented the outbreak of war in 1914, for it is still being said that Germany would not have Ee to war if she had been sure that wiand would help France THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1921. independence if the plan Is finally ap- proved, Official Washington is keenly tnter- Jeated in the conversations going on jin Europe with reference to the new four-power pact, and St is expected that after the Supreme Council meets jin Cannes some definite iden of this acheme or an alternative having the jsame object will be disclosed Bah al TREATY LIMITING SIZE OF NAVIES NEAR COMPLETION France to Be Brought Into Line | by Larger Allowance of Small Craft. WASHINGTON, Dec. (United Press).—With the five powers agreed on hattleship ratio, the drafting of a treaty for a world-wide Imitation ef naval armament, the first of its kind in the world's history—awaits 93 erreements on submirines and anx- ‘itary craft, Settlement of these two questions is probable along these lines: 1. Approval of international rules of warfare which would declare against use of the submarine in the unrestricted manner employed by Ger- many during the World War. 2, Formal rejection of Britain's | plea for the abolition of the sub marine, = « 8, A lower limit on submarine ton- nage than that proposed by Secre- tary of State Hughes, which calls for 90,000 tons for Great Britain and the United States, 64,000 tons for Japan and a proportionate amout for France 4. France will be brought into line on the whole programme by granting hor a slightly larger quota of auxi- lary craft than that commensurate witha capital ship retio of 1.75 ‘The conference 1s virtually certain, after refusing to abolish the subma- rine, to reject the Italian proposal that another so-called “viper” of war —poison gas—be banned. The Unite States 1s opposing both proposals. The belief prevails in American circles that France either will not press any large demands for auxiliary and Belgium. Incidentally, the mu. |cTft Or present them for certain po- tual guarantees would include Bel- (litical purposes and then back down gium and assure her of neutrality and when she js assured of a compromise.
