NAVAL EXPERTS
REPORT READY
Chinese Tariff Agreement Also
Reached In Conference Sub
Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--(By AS
sociated Press. Practical compile
ton of the report to be submitted by
the committee of experts to the ma
val committee of the arms confer
ence and an agreement of the sub
committee on a Chinese tariff of 5
per cent effective basis were two inn
portant developments today in the
conference situation.
The naval committee may be call
ed to meet this afternoon or tomor-
row, it was said, to receive the ex-
perts' report, which will embody a
precise definition of the replacement
schedules, as well as the exact method
of scrapping ships which will be
eliminated from the navies Of the
signatory powers.
The American proposal to prohibit
use of submarines against merchant
vessels, now the predominant issue
of the arms negotiations, has been ac-
cepted by France, but her delegates
have reserved final approval, pending
q discussion of the precise language
of the declaration.
British acceptance previously has
been given, and although neither the
Italians nor the Japanese have re-
ceived final instructions, there are
indications that neither Rome nor
Toxic will interpose serious objec-
tion if the proposal received frances
approval,
The exact nature of the French
reservation was not revealed, but
the impression was gathered in some
quarters that it might concern such
a definition of the terms of the decla-
ration as would make it. clear just
what conduct would be expected from
merchantmen in view of their inn
munity from submarine attack.
