ANXIOUS TO SETTLE
SUBMARINE ISSUE
President and MIR. Hughes
Oppose Putting Action Over
to Another Farley.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.

President Harding is known to hold
the conviction that if the arms con-
ference does not settle the submarine
and other auxiliary craft questions.
another conference, to include addi-
tional nations, will be necessary.
Secretary of State Hughes is in ac-
cord with this view, but for the mo-
ment is known to desire that the
pending meeting shall first exhaust
every means to reach a decision be-
fore looking forward to postponed ac-
ton. which of course is the Presi-
dents attitude also. So there is no
divergence of views in the adminis-
tration.
Many Notable Achievements.
In event of the auxiliary craft sub
ject being relegated to consideration
by another conference as a last re-
sort, it is pointed out that there would
still remain accomplishments of the
Washington conference of great value
to the werld and of a character to
Justify the assertion that the con-
ference is a success.
plished, SO far as the conference nego-
tiation of it is concerned, although, of
course. it remains to be consummated in
ratification by the constitutional asen-
cies of the nations signatory.
The limitation Of naval armament cm-
bodied in the agreement on the con-
structlon of capital ships will be hailed,
it is said, as a definite and practical
forward step in the general direction at
which tire world is aiming.
Root Plan Vital Factor.
Agreement in principle upon the four
points of the Root plan IN relation to far
eastern subjects is regarded as valua-
BILE and workable contribution to the
tranquility of the world.
In its broader aspects, therefore, the
situation attending the armament limi-
tation and far eastern conference is not
held to be justly susceptible to the stis-
ma of failure, by any means, whatever
the outcome Of the submarine side issue.
The suggestion that further clari-
fication of the four-power treaty as
to non-application to the homeland of
Japan is desirable and imminent does
not diminish the measure of success
OF the conference. since it falls out
that Japans contention meets with
sympathy in potential quarters in this
country
Explicit Terms Feasible.
1t is held to be quite feasible to
draw up an understanding among the
powers. setting forth in more ex-
plicit terms their construction of this
phase of tho treaty.
Whether Japan and China succeed
in coming to an agreement over Shan
tung does not concern the fate of the
armament and far eastern conference
essentially, it is contended, since
those negotiations are being con-
Quoted outside the pale of the confer
cnce proper. A happy outcome, no
doubt, would be acceptable to all, but
not vital to this meeting.
So, while this week should deter
mine whether there is to be sub
sequent conference on auxiliaries and
submarines, the feeling in conference
circles is one Of satisfaction that
there is much to be grateful for in
the accomplishments already assured.
