Out Of this the French expected
Instructions as to how to proceed
regarding the allotment Of about
351. 900 tons as Frances portion in
undersea craft. IL was expected, too,
that the Japanese would hear also
from their government on the ia
panese contention for $4,000 tons
instead OF the approximately A.
600 under the Hughes scheme.
Nothing so far shows a yielding
spirit on the French and Japanese
part Secretary Hughes was repre-
sented as holding a fairly elastic
viewpoint.
'He has already indicated that
ne considers the submarine tonic
relatively unimportant as compared
to the great achievement OF cutting
capital ship tonnage" said friend
of his to the United Press. 81 should
say his position Is elastic. He has
shown that by making the British
and American tonnage 10000 instead
OF the original 10000. I don't want
TO create the impression that he is
prepared TO make any Christmas
presents on the submarine. but I
should say that an adjustment will
hc reached nor the conference shall
adjourn leaving each power to write
its own ticket on submarine
strength"
There Is some talk that a world
! conference to consider banning sub
marines shall be called. Hughes
leans strongly toward the British
abolition standpoint but the posi-
tion about submarines mas not yet

The only further con-erence con-
