ATTITUDE OF FRANCE
TOWARD SUB TONNAGE
ASSAILED BY British

LONDON. Dec. 27.-France's claims
for large feet of submarines. made
before the Washington conference are
again attacked bv the London news
papers which resumed publication to-
day after the Christmas holidays.
Doubling any class of naval ton
mage seems on the face of it a strange
proposition at a conference assembled
to reduce armaments," declares the
Daily Chronicle. I'VE cannot pretend
to fathom the French motive for such
an aggressive attitude" Tmpatience
with the French demand is expressed
by the other liberal newspapers. the
Westminster Gazette characterizing it
as extravagant. The Gazette adds:
'Tt emphasizes the all important diff
ference between the spirit and letter
Of the American proposals for naval
limitation"
Arthur J. Balfour, head of the Brit
ish delegation in Washington is given
warm praise by several newspapers
and the American offer for a reduc-
ton in her own and British submarine
| tonnage is extolled as the next best
thing to abolition, which Great Brit
ain desired.
Urges Action
"Failing acceptance of the British
| scheme of abolition the American pro
posal must be pressed persistently,'
says the Daily News, which finds il
| impossible to see how big building
program can be upheld in the face OF
| Anglo-American pressure
| The Morning Post uses the caption
"Balfours great triumph; Americas
faith in submarine shaken" And the
Times and some other newspapers re
fer to Mr. Balfour's moral victory
The Westminster Gazette, admittin4
that Great Britain will not easil!
come to terms with France, says:
Evidently we shall ccme to term:
sooner or later with America on thi:
/ question, for we have the same ulti
mate aim"

tration of the Tacna-Arica dispute,
says in part:
"Chile agrees to designate pleni-
potentiary to go to Washington with
the object of endeavoring to obtain
with a Peruvian envoy a settlement

CHINA TARIFF

AIRPLANE PROPOSAL
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Prospects
of a compromise agreement on the
Chinese tariff question were seen by
the Chinese delegation today as the
subcommittee of the Far East COM
mittee of the Washington conference
went into session after two weeks
recess.
The Chinese tariff question has
been one of the troublesome questions
of the Far Eastern discussion
The prospective agreement it was
said in Chinese circles, would permit
China to levy an effective five percent
customs tariff in lieu of the present
nominal five percent, or effective
three and one-half percent This it
was said would result in a substantial
increase in Chinese revenue.
The Japanese delegation, it was be-
lieved by the Chinese, will announce
that the utmost Japan could concede
| in an upward revision of the Chinese
tariff would be the five percent effec-
tive rate. The British, it is under
stood, have expressed willingness to
grant an effective seven and one-half
percent.

IN IRELAND
FOR TREATY
Reports to Newspapers Of
London Indicate 90 Per
Cent Will Favor Ratifica-
ton of Pact.
SEE BIG MAJORITY

~ASSCSAt~hNN
LONDON, Dec. 81 Sentiment
throughout Ireland, as reflected in
dispatches to London newspapers to-
the Irish peace treaty. Reports from
various provinces indicate that fully
80 percent of the people in the %
counties of Southern Ireland want the
pact ratified.
This confirmed predictions made
when the Dali Erieann adjourned its
debate on the treaty last Thursday I'M
til Jan. 8 that the recess would bring
definite expression of the peoples
will, and the view is now put. foTw ard
that when the Dali reasse 7 les the
treaty will be approved by "a majority
which will make an appeal to the
country unnecessary.
The morning Posts correspondent
says a rumor is afoot of a possible
sensation" before the Dali meets
again this being taken to mean that
Eamon DeValera intends to announce
withdrawal of his opposition in view
of the weight of opinion for the treaty.
The Times sent a special CORES
pondent to County Clare the council
of which appealed to Mr.. DeValera to
abandon his opposition. According to
the correspondent the councils action
is endorsed with pride by vast ma
jority of the people. Glare is known
as the banner county, from its having
1 been the traditional home of Irish
political movements, among them Dan
! iel O'Connell's emancipation campaign
and Charles Stewart Parnells Land
league struggle, and its people regard
| the council as having lived up to ira
ditions.
Treaty Is Wanted
! The reporter discussed the question
with all ranks and classes of people
( from the highest ecclesiastics to the
/ lowest menials, and says that while
! he heard nothing in disparagement OF
Mr.. DeValera he was assured that from
, 70 to so per cent of the country favors
the treaty. The minority he believed
J 10 be mostly members of the Irish re
publican army.
The Dublin correspondent of the
Times cites as evidence of the public
support of the treaty the fact that a
long letter from Ersking Childers, pub
/ lished in the newspapers Saturday, eX
/ planning and supporting the alternative
s oath of allegiance ascribed to Mr.. De
Valera, attracted little interest More
over, it was regarded as a breach oi
the agreement made before the dail's
rising that none of the members would
issue controversial statements during
the recess and was interpreted as ar
indication that De Valera's party is
increasingly in fear of defeat.
/ Arthur Griffith, one of the leading
rro-ratificationists, countered the let
ter with a statement declaring it in
accurate as regards Mr.. Childers' &C
count of how the alternative oath wa!
discussed by the Irish delegates to the
