WASHINGTON', Dec. 21. (L. P.)
The American arms conference ded
ication opposes granting France a top
heavy allotment of submarines or oth
er auxiliary craft and will also reject
Britain's plea for the abolition of sub.
maries. The British and French dele
gations, undaunted by this knowledge,
were proceeding today with the plan"
for pressing their desires on these
points.
Little belief that the delegates
would reach an ugrcement by Christ
mas was expressed, as the French and
British desire promise to prove strong
obstacles to the agreement. The
French delegation are reported as

Secretary Hughes and other confer

that only island possessions of the
