both was q compromise proposal.
On tho basis OF capital ship
strength as already accepted. France
would have Il submarine tonnage OF
about $4,000 tons, as against 10000
each for tho United states and Great
Britain. The now American plan,
however. would permit Franco to
have $4,000 tons. as against $4,000
each for the United States and Great
Britain.
Aside from their contention for
suppression OF submarines as O world

dlcated that IL submarines wero to

suggested $4,000 instead Of 10000

In the snme way, the 42,000-ton
