hat suitable subcommittee would be
created to- deal with each of the three
specific points, including Limitation of
armament set out in that document.
There was strong proba bility,
however, that some part Of today's
committee meeting would be devoted
to the question of whether the union

particularly at the opening session
yesterday by DR.. Ucles. chief of the

attitude understood to be held by
Guatemala. it appeared doubtful that
the proposed federation would be
placed on the agenda.
The conference is following gener-
ally in procedure the lines jof the
Washington conference on Limitation
Of naval armament. Under that prec-
dent it is to be expected there will be
sim ultaneous consideration of the
three accepted points Of discussion,
Limitation of armament. and laying
plans for tribunals Of inquiry to ad-
just peacefully Central American dis
