FRANCE Will MAKE
kNOWNNAWWANT
Detail Estimate Tonnage
Desired Are Ready
STAND OF THE. BRITISH
Expected Britain Will Make Plea
For Total Abolition of
f.. Submarines -.
TAssoctated Press Dispatch. !

Washington, D. c., December a.
France was prepared to lay before the
full naval committee Of the arms con-
ference today detailed estimates of
the tonnage in auxiliary fighting craft.
including submarines, which she de.
sires under the prospective i've pow
er naval limitation agreement as a
condition to acceptance Of the 175.000-
ton ratio in capital ships proposed for
her. Although what opposition the
French estimates might encounter
could not be anticipated in the aB-
sence of any authoritative disclosure
of the figures it had been determined
to present. the question of fixing the
ratio in smaller vessels for France,
with the capital ship tonnage regard
ed as settled, was generally viewed as
holding little possibility Of prolonged
controversy.
The question of higher ratio in
small defensive craft, Including sub
marines. for France, however. brings
up the matter of the British position
regarding submarines and it was
thought that at today's meeting of the
naval committee there might also be q
presentation of Great Britain's plea
for total abolition OF the submarine.
The Shantung negotiations continu-
ed In suspension today although in
formal conferences following their ad :
j0urnment Monday have developed
new indications OF q trend toward
agreement while the Japanese dele
gates await further instructions from
Toxic before presuming the exchanges
with the Chinese.
Presentation OF Statements
Admiral De Bon, the French naval
expert, presented the statement for
France in accepting the American
capital ship proposal.
For Italy, Senator Schan<,rf made a
statement urging that Italy be entitled
to capital ship tonnage equal to that
Of France and on behalf of the Italy
delegation, expressed assent to the
American proposal as applied to
France. #sIsl
Secretary Hughes, opening the com
mittee meeting which for the first
time included all the delegates of the
five principal powers and their naval
experts, ,recited the past proceedings
of the armament committee of fifteen
relative to the negotiations on capital
ship tonnage.
