DEADLOCK Tense
IN ARMS PARLEY
Powers Are Now Farther Apart
On the Question OF Sub
marine Ratio -
FRANCE AND Japan HOLD OUT
Future Conference Likely - Shantung
Settlement Unpromising and Even
Pacific Treaty Threatened With
Japan's lnterpretative Demand.

Washington. - The submarine con
troversy has revealed so wide a diff
ference of opinion among the powers
that the arms delegates are seriously
discussing plan to leave the whole
question of auxiliary warship tonnage
to later international conference.
In highest American official circles
it was said that concrete proposal
for future conference might be laid
before the arms delegates within
few days. President Harding was said
to feel that such a conference would
be logical development of his policy
OF international consultation, and it
was indicated that he had communi-
Gated his desires to the American del
egation.
The submarine tangle apparently is
as far as ever from a settlement. de
spite conferences between the Ameri-
can delegates and the plenipotentia-
ries of Japan and France, the two
powers who are holding out against
the American compromise proposal.
The negotiations over Shantung
also took on a more serious aspect
when the Japanese, after the recent
or fresh instructions from Toxic, let
it be known that they were not pre-
pared to make any further conces-
sions in their exchange with the Chi
nese over return of the Using Tao
Tsinanfu railroad. The Chinese al
ready have declared they can go no
further toward a compromise.
Meantime the new four-power Pa
cific treaty, already signed by the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan, got back into conference
discussions through a suggestion from
Japanese quarters that the four pow
ers agree not to apply the terms of
the pact to the principal islands of
the Japanese empire In view of diff
ferences of view developing in the
United States and Japan as to the
meaning of the treaty, the Japanese
were said to be considering the sug-
gestion Of such an interpretative
agreement.
