WASHINGTON. Dec. 21 Omitted
Press) s)-The American Arms delega-

heavy armament OF submarines or
other light cruisers.
II also VIII reject Britain's plea for
abolition Of submarines.
Undaunted by the facts the British
and French were proceeding today
with plans for pressing their desires
On these points
Hope Of reaching an agreement on
imitation OF naval armaments before
christmas appears doubtful. The
My obstacles remaining arc the
French demand for a big allotment
a. auxiliary craft and that the British
emand that submarines be abol-
shed but considerable discussion on
hese points was expected.
The French are probably ready
TO accept less than their demands.
The French allotment under the
Hughes plan would be 1880 tons
Of submarines and 157.5o0 tons of
cruisers. fotilia leaders and destroy
crs and there Is no disposition to
alter radically either tho auxiliary
tonnage basis nor the submarine

The French say that their figures
for auxiliary craft will not be based
upon a relation 10 the figures allot-
ted other powers. Instead the
French are inclined 20 say give US
our figures and adjust yours to
ours" The play just now is on sub

iieve that the French will fight for
as much submarine tonnage as
possible. then when this falls turn
to fight for light cruisers.
