ITALIANS URGE
WORLDPARLEY
ON SUBMARINE
Plan Put Before Dele
gates at Washing
ton COnfab.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-A second
conference of all the naval powers Of
the world, to establish submarine
ratios and to formulate restrictions
governing their use in time of war,
has been proposed to the principal
powers of the Washington confer
ence by the Italian delegation, it was
officially announced today.
The proposal was first put forward in
the subcommittee dealing with the suD-
marine question and viii be pressed be-
fore the full conference, spokesman for
the Italian delegation said.
CONVINCED FARLEY
Is 4 NECESSITY.
The Italian delegation, it~was stated,
is convinced that such conference Is
necessary because OF the many countries
maintaining submarines which are not
represented In the present Washington
conference and which cannot be bound
by any action taken by the five biz
powers here.
OF what avail is 1t, the Italians asked.
If they. in common with the other pow
ers here. agree to curtail their submarine
forces in Greece or some other Mediter-
ranean country is to be allowed to build
up an undersea menace unchecked? The
Italians pointed out in the secret meet
ings OF the naval committee that subma-
rines are comparatively cheap and easy
10 build and there is little reason why
any nation so minded cannot get a for
midable aggregation of undersea boats.
II was not disclosed how the other
powers received the Italian proposals.
but the belief prevailed that no favor
able action would be taken on Il.
PHYSICAL DIFFICULTIES
CITED TO ITALIANS.
The physical difficulties of getting
such a conference together was pointed
10 as one bar, and it was suggested
that an easier way would be for the
FIVE big powers here to unite on a set
of rules governing future usages of
the submarine and then ask the other
smaller nations to subscribe to them.
The Italians, it was disclosed are op-
posed unalterably TO any restrictions be
ing placed upOn the size of submarines
as suggested by A. J. Balfour. although
they favor promulgatiug a set of rules
for their use.
The Italian spokesman said Italy's
naval requirements, in the adjusting of
minor ratios, will be shaped by whatever
action the French take. Until Frances
claims are presented in full before the
conference, Italy win make no prcsen-
tation of her case 1t was made clear,
however. that Italy will demand com
mensurate tonnage with France all along
the line

WOULD LIMIT SUBS
BY CARL D. GROAT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga com
plete agreement by the arms limi
tation conference on all phases OF
the limitation of naval armament
program is now confidently expected
by the American delegation before
the New Year.
From a leading member of the del
egation it was learned that interna
tional developments of the last days
not yet revealed are responsible for
this view.
With the five powers agreed on bat
tleship ratio, the drafting of treaty
for a world wide limitation of naval arm
first Of its kind in the world
history awaits agreements on subme-
rines and auxiliary craft. Your CORE
spondent was reliably informed that set
tlement OF these two questions is prob
able along these lines
Approval of international rules OF
warfare which would declare against
use of the submarine in the unre-
tricted manner employed by Germany
during the world war.
Formal rejection Of Britain's
plea for the abolition of the subma-
rine.
U-BOAT TONNAGE
LIMIT PROPOSED.
"a lower limit on submarine ton
mage than that proposed by Secretary
Of State Hughes, which calls for 9O,-
900 tons for Great Britain and the
United States. $1,000 tons for Japan
and a proportionate amount for
France.
4-France will be brought into line
on the whole program by granting
her slightly larger quota Of ar1lh-
ary craft than that commensurate
with capital ship ratio Of 10.
The conference is virtually certain, aft
er refusing to abolish the submarine, to
reject the ItaliaU proposal that another
so called viper Of war poison gas - be
banned. The United States is opposing
both proposals
The belief prevails in American circles
that France either will not press any
large demands for auxiliary craft or
present them for certain political pur-
poses. and then back down when she is
assured Of a compromise.
