PROPOSAL AWAITS REPLY
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
IntsrnaSionAl Ncws Service.

The United States adopted COM
eromise role in yesterdays secret
meeting Of the naval powers and
presented to the conference a new
proposal that the submarine ton
maze Of the United States and
Great Britain be fixed at 10000
tons. the other powers to retain
-th9ir present submarine strength.
y. 8. to Scrsp Most.
: This figure II $1,000 tons less for
both the United States and Great
Britain than was proposed by Secre-
taxy Of state Hughes in the original
American program
It would involve also the scrapl,sng
a some $4,000 tons by the United
states and approximately 10000 by
Great Britain.
It u understood that no answer was
xiven Immediately to the new Amer
loan proposal, and the conference ad.
3ourned after meeting more than two
hours. to convene again later.
Tho new American offer was looked
upon a. an endeavor to bridge the
enormous gap that lies between the
positions of Great Britain, who de-
mands the total abolition of the SUBJ
marine, and France. who demands a
submarine fleet equal to the greatest
naval power in the world.
Comparative Power.
Tho exact submarine strengths Of
Japan and France and Italy under the
new American offer is in some doubt
owing to the difference in American
and British figures on existing
strengths yesterday.
According to American figures, the
acceptance of the new American pro.
posal would leave France the third
submarine power Of the world with
42,s60 tons; Japan, fourth. with 81
900. and Italy fifth, with 10000 tons.
Under the agreement already ar
lived at between the Big Three, Great
Britain was to have had 10000 tons.
I the United States 10000. and Japan
$1,000 tons, with commensurately
smaller ratios for France and Italy.
