DECISION LACKING.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.|By the
Associated Press)--Failure of the
French delegates to receive the form
al decision OF their government on the
American compromise proposal for
limitation of submarines strength has
caused a postponement of the meeting
of the arms conference nava commit

row. 1t was believed that the Japa-
nese also might be awaiting further
instructions from their government
bearing on the American proposal.
There was no indication hero what
ever that the French were prepared 10
cut their suggested figure OF 10000
tons in submarines for France to the
81. 900 ton figure under the American
plan DR. hat the Japanese intended to
