WOULD DANISH
ALL SUBMARINES
sRITIANS PLEA RECEIVING NO
SUPPORT FROM roTHER
NATIONS.

,Washin ngton..--Great Britian's plea
that the submarine be banished from
the seven seas has been presented to
the arms conference but it received
no support from any other power.
Spokesman of France, Italy and
Japan replied that they regard sub
marines, when properly employed, as
a legitimate and valuable arm of naval
strength, and were unprepared to see
them abolished.
The American delegates took no
final stand, but suggested that the
conference turn its efforts toward
such a revision Of international prac-
tices as would prevent a repetition
of the ruthless submarine method OF
the World war. :,
: A further exchange OF views on the
British proposal will take place to
morrow unless France. whose repre-
sentatives again are awaiting in
strucLions froTo their premier, is pre-
pared to go ahead with the delayed
presentation of estimates for auxil
iary craft she desires to keep under
the naval reduction program. The
French indicate tonight that they hope
at tomorrow's meeting to at least
make known their exact requirement:
as to submarine tonnage.
Discussions took place behind clos
ed doors Of the committee room, bu
the British asked that their opposi
tion to the submarine be made public
and indicated that they probably viii
carry their fight later to an opeI
session of the conference. They ap
parently do not hope to succeed how
ever, after today's expression o
views and are planning to join in th'
move for an understanding to restric
the operation of underwater craft il
future wars.

point Delegates.
NO DETAILS YET DECIDED

Washington.-Aban Of the
pending b.ll authorizing the appoint
ment of a commission to handle the
refunding of foreign loans and substi'
tuition of a measure granting author
ity to American representatives to
Join with delegates from other ma
tions in a general international eco
nomic conference may be approved by
the administration.
Refunding of the foreign debt would
be the principal task of the economic
conference. Other questions whlcn
the American delegates probably
would be authorized to consider would
be the stabiliZation of international
exchange and various economic issues
involved in trade relations between
the different countries, also the financ-
ing of European purchases from the
United States.
If such a measure is presented to
Congress, it may include a stipula-
ton that American representatives
would have no authority to agree to
the cancellation of any part of the
principal or interest of the foreign in
debtedness Congress has intimated
that its sentiment is strongly against
any cancellation and a restriction OK
this nature probably would be insisted
upon.
Whether President Harding should
take the initiative in extending an
invitatio n to other countries to join
in such a general conference is one
of the matters under discussion.
Some of the administration advisers
believe it would be preferable to have
kthe debtor nations take the initiative.
Accordingly, the matter to be present
ed to Congress may not request the
president to issue invitationS for the
conference, but instead autho} be him
to appoint delegates to such gath
ering with authority to underts e the
refunding of foreign loans and deal
with. other fiancial and economic4ues-
tions. -
Many of the Republican Congpess-
iopal leaders believe that it would sbe
desirable taat such conference
should be held in WashingtonS ~
the invitations are issued by another
country however. it might be held in
Europe. :;

journalism in the national capitol was
