BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

FRANCES conception of her needs
In the way of a defensive navy
and the frmness with which her dele
gates upheld their position brought
about complete deadlock In the
Washington conference last week and
made it almost certain that no agree
ment will be reached by the present
gathering concerning the reduction
and limitation Of submarines and aux
Hilary naval tonnage. The other pow
ers participating In the conference
were willing to concede the fairness
Of the French position concerning the
reduction of her land armament, but
they feel that In this naval matter
France is demanding too much.
Albert Sarraut, having received
fresh instructions from Paris, told
the naval committee that France ac-
cepted the allowance of 175,0O0 tons
Of capital ships, contingent upon per-
mission to begin replacement building
In 1927 instead Of 1881. but insisted
that she be allowed 10000 tons Of
submersibles and 10000 tons Of aux
Hilary ships. The submarine tonnage
he asked is equal to the maximum
proposed by Mr.. Hughes for Great
Britain and the United States and
three times what France now has.
Mr.. Balfour, In language as plain
as diplomatic usage permits, retorted
that France could want such subma-
rine fleet for no other purpose than
Illegal use against commerce, that the
plan was direct threat against
Great Britain, and that In the crcum-
stances the British would agree to no
limitation In the building Of cruisers,
destroyers and other anti-submarlne
vessels. To NJ. Sarraut's assertion
that British fears Of French aggres-
sion were baseless since Britain was |
allowed a capital ship tonnage greater
than that of France and Italy com
bined, Mr.. Balfour replied that, In the
event of war between Great Britain
and France, England, having no large
army. could not strike Mt the heart Of
France, but France, employing great
navy Of submarines against commerce.
could destroy the "very existence" of
Britain. To the layman 1t would seem
that Mr.. Balfour had the best Of the
debate, but NJ. Sarraut was unyield-
ing. Therefore Mr.. Hughes. deplorlng
the attitude Of the French, an
nounced with regret that an agree
ment on the reduction and limitation
of submarine and auxiliary tonnage
appeared impossible.

9 ENAT0R LA TOILETTE OF Wis
~ consin has come out with the re-
markable statement that secret con-
ference was held in Washington De
cember 8 by representatives Of the
railroads and of the coal. steel and
lumber interests, and that they at
tempted to obtain from farm organi-
cation leaders, and did obtain from
some such leaders, adherence to an
agreement not to push legislation TO
repeal the guaranty section Of the
transportation act and TO restore state
control Of state transportation rates.

by the agreement entered into by a few
OF their representatives" said Senator
La Toilette, "the railroad interests

~ In settling the Chinese puzzles.
Mr.. Underwoo0's compromise plan for
the Chinese tariff was accepted by all
the powers. This provides for an i'm
mediate Increase In .2riff of 5 per
cent ad valorem, future increase to
IA per cent, and an increase to 1914
per cent when the provincial tariff is
abolished. 1t may be three or five
years before the Increase to ~ per
cent goes into effect, since Japan and
India require time to adjust their in
dustries.
Apparently the deadlock between
China and Japan concerning Shantung
was complete, and 1t was said there
would be American and British offers
of mediation this week. But from
Tokyo came the assertion by "high
officials" that Japan had gained her
main point and the whole dispute
probably would be settled SOON When
China agreed to negotiate with Japan
for the purchase of the railway, 1t
was asserted. she acknowledged ia
pans right In the road won from
Germany Chlna's offer Of treasury
notes In payment for the railway does
not suit Tokyo as China has been UNI
able to pay similar notes outstanding.
Japan wants payment by bond Is
sue, which would prolong her control
of the railway until cash for the
bonds could be gathered by the Chi
neSe.

is confident 1t will be ratified, and the

busily working out the details Of plans

Just to prod those members Of the
