trusting to the good offices of it's

1T IL this conception OF the true
needs and interests OF France and of

decision of the French Government
1t is the idea which is both the meas
ure and the limit of their demand
and II is in no way Influenced by any
comparison with what our neighbors
are doing or by any anxiety to meas
ure our naval force against theirs"
This statement from the French Co
lonial Minister provoked Mr.. BalfoyI
to assure him that he (Mr. Balfour)
was the last man in the world to sus-
pect France of hostile intentions
toward his own country"
Coming TO an analysis of the French,
demands, Mr.. Balfour called attention
to NJ. Sarraut's statement that 10000
tons Of submarines were necessary for
France
For what purpose?" he asked. mot
to cooperate with feet Of 175,o00 tons
of capital ships. That is altogether out
of proportion"
The discussion Of the French sub
marine decision did not figure any
further in the deliberations of the com
mittee. nor was it referred to at the
second session OF that body this after
noon. The fact is. It was generally ac-
cepted by all OF the delegates at the
conference as ca closed incident" and
they moved to the discussion Of resolu-
tions proposed by Lord Lee to limit
auxiliary craft to 10000 and guns tc
be carried by them to eight inches.
At the afternoon session the discus
sion centered around another proposal
to fix sixteen inch guns as the maxi
mum for capital ships. Another reso-
luton prepared by Senator Root pro-
vided rules for submarine warfare
compelling submarines to observe the
cruiser rules of visit and search and
authorizing merchant ships to treat as
pirates undersea craft violating such
rules.
Replying to a question as to the
possibility Of discussion OF the sub
marine issue being revived In the con.
ference, the spokesman for the Ameri-
can delegation declared that "the con.
ference is not In a position to dea

purposes of the conference are accom-.

by the Government which I represent.
Public notice has now been given in
