Submarine Question Is Next
Issue to Be Taken Up by
the Armament Con-
ference
BY Associated Press

Washington, December 20.-Ac-
ceptance by France with reserva-
tions of the American proposals Of
$4,000 tons in capital ships each
for France and Italy swept the arms
conference forward tonight to its
next major problem-the submarine
issue. Italy, it was stated, has al
ready accepted the t75,000-ton fig
ures dependent on it's acceptance by
France.
Details OF French reservations ap-
parently were reserved by the SUB
committee OF rs for the full
naval committee scheduled to meet
Thursday The subcommittee did
break is silence sufficiently howe Ter,
to make public the messages eA-
changed between Secretary Hugt IS
and Premier BRAND. The messages
we're read and discussed by the sub
committee, but the official cont
munique disclosed no more than he
texts of the cablegrams.
Premier's Message
The premiers message showed tnst
reservations attached to acceptance
OF the 10000 capital snip tonnage
had to do with light cruisers, tor
pedo boats and submarines. This mas
served to bring the conference to
stand until the submarine issue can
be solved when the five power capt
tai ship agreement viii be completed
automatically. It is assumed the fun
naval committee will be called to la
out a program for the discussion o.
submarines and anti submarine craft
as the two are interviewer la Frensn
and British opinion
This implied that the auxiliary
crafts clements of the American plan
must be shaped into agreement aes
fore the committee returns to ratify
the program.
Tho British delegation asked that
a plenary session Of the conference
be called to permit presentation Of
their case against submarines Prob
ably such session will be held dur
ing the week, although date IA
not been announced tonight.
As such an open session Lord Lee
for the British group, will set out N
detail the techniealities of British
reasons why they believe the sub
marines should be banned by the
world as naval weapons. He will read
his statement, il is understood. great
care having been taken in It's prepar-
/ alton II viii. it is understood. set
out the secondary British proposal
that IL submarines are TO be retained.
the tonnage allotments of each power
be cut far below the existing strength
principle of the American proposals.
There is also a suggestion In Brit
ish quarters that should neither of
these Views on submarines prevail.
the British would deem II necessary
to seek radical increase in their al
lotments OF anti-submarine craft as
a measure of self defense That means
more light cruisers and destroyers
and possibly airplane carriers, for all
of these weapons are used against
submarines.
