and Vice-Foreign Minister Hanihara,
apeak ing respectively for France,
Italy aad Japan, replird that although
(iibmtrinea muat ha held more
closely within the praeticea of hu
mane warfare, their abolition would
remove an importiint element of na
tlonal security. They all expreaecd
warm appreciation of tha prcaenta
tion of tha ease by Lord le, but
Indicated they could not agree with
litm hi to tho aubinarine'a defenaive
value.
Hughes' rtiggeetloB.
For the 1'nltcd tHtiitos, Secretary
llnghvs suggested that the one note
of unanimity apparent among nil the
pnwera wi in relation to such re
at fiction aa would remove the ab
horrent Influence of sOhmnrine war
fare In the world war. He read a
report by a suli-eommlttea of the
American advisory committee reeoni
mending retention of under-aurface
warahipa under proper regulation
and proposed that attention l given
to the possibility of bringing the
aufcnwitie operation! aguinit merch
ant vessel within the well establish
ed principle-of search and aeizura
under international law.
Aa an alternative, the aecretary
suggested that the conference might
even eonaider whether ue of uh
marinea agalnat merchant ahipping
uader any rircumitancea ahould.be
fcrbidden. At tomorrow'a meeting
Admiral de Bon, for Franca, will
aka a further argument for reten
tion of the auhmarinea and it waa
aaid tonight that even if he were not
ready to preaent In full the eatimate
f th French government aa to all
alaaaeaef auxiliary craft, he probably
would reveal what aubmarin ton
nag ia deaired.
Soma of the delegation!, at leaat,
will request further instruction from
thlir government beforo they can
reply In full to the Britiah propoaal.
Tha plenary aeaaion at which the
positions of all the powera are to be
art before tha world will be delayed
accordingly.
