BRITAIN FEELS
U-BOAT NAVIES'
MUST BE CURBED
Conference No Sue
cess Unless Action
is Token.

Washington, Nov. 26.-(By The
Associated Press.D-So much pro-
gress has been made by the naval
experts examining details OF the
American reduction plan that some
Of the arms delegates expect an
other pienary session may be held
and Great Britain TO submit their
and Great Britain to ubmit their
counter proposals in concrete
form.
Japs Still Figure.
The American AMI British naval
experts were said today virtually
to have completed their examina-
ton of the technical points involv-
ed in Secretary Hughes proposals.
The Japanese experts, however,
were still considering the figures
and facts involved.
The British were said to feel that
highly satisfactory progress had
been made, but their spokesmen
would not indicate the trend of the
expert examination beyond stat
ing that il was certain the SuOma-
rine questions would be one of the
chief points involved in any agree
ment reached by the conference.
L. S. Sticks TO Plan.
There is strong belief in Great
Britain. it was said, that the con-
ference will not be an unqualified
success unless some action is taken
to curb the size and nature of fu-
ture ''underseas navies," similar to
the steps proposed as to surface
fleets.
The statement that British ex-
perts were ready to present their
findings to the conference follows
the assertion yesterday that the
American group has found nothing
in the figures presented by the jap
aneSe to warrant any departure
from the American schedule of ton
mage in fixing the present or pro-
posed proportionate strength of the
three naVieS.

London. Nov. 26.-(United Press
The fate of Ireland today was be
ing determined at conferences be
tween Sir James Craig and Ulster
leaders in Belfast and at a meet
ing of the Dali cabinet in Dublin.
The two were considering. it i:
the proposals of Pre-
mier Lloyd George which consti
tute a basis for further confer
ences.
They embody, it was believed,
plan to establish South Irish par
lament and provide for a plebiscite
to determine listers future boun-
daries. An alternative suggestion
is believed to be constituted in the
proposals, allowing for acceptance
of the aIl-Irish parliament plan, il
it is agreeable to both sides.
The general opinion here, how
ever, was that neither Sim Fein OF
Ulster will look with favor on eth
er plan.
Ulster Fears Idea.
Ulster has opposed the Sim Fein
for plebiscite be-
cause she fears losing several OF
her provinces which have a Sim
Fein majority. She likewise op-
poses the plan for an all-Irish par
lament which does not provide
that she be allowed as many repre-
sentatives as the south of Ireland
In this manner authorities here
describe the deadlock of the situa-
ton and expressed deep concern
over the possibilities of an unfortu-
nate outcome of the negotiations
The situation is extremely grave
it was said.
Newspapers openly predicted
failure of the conference.
