WASHINGTON. Nov. 20-Sunday was no day of rest for the armament delegates.
 Practically without exception. the delegations spent the day either in executive sessions among themselves or in conference with representativ of other nations
 The American group met at Secre- tary Hughes home and devoted sew eral hours to analysis of the naval situation. It was understood. that heartened by the information that Great Britain would support the cap ital ship ratio. the delegation found nothing to warrant consideration of the possibility that the naval pro- posal. might be materially revised.
 Especially active today were the groups having a vital interest in the Far East question which is to come up tomorrow
 Informal discussion was said to- night to have led to the belief that consideration of the Chinese prob lem might culninate in the raising of the question of Shantung.

 ROME, Nov. 20.-An argument for the submarine as protection for Italy is printed by the Messaggero today in an editorial.
 Tt can be- understood why Great Britain should be averse to subma- rines," the editorial says, but that is no reason why France and Italy should accept MT. Balfour's limita- tions. We are unable to construct large ships because we have not the financial means. There is nothing hostile in our policy to Great Britain, but our only hope of independence consists in owning many submarines. Let us remember that the Mediter- ranean is still a British lake, pre- senting a problem more important and more delicate for us than that of the Pacific.
 ''Mr. Balfour has said the exist ence of his empire is impossible with out the safeguarding of it's long lines of communication, but Italy. as are all the Mediterranean nations, is at the complete mercy of England, who cannot consent to any E~nitation on submarines unless she can obtain absolute guarantees"
