Prospects of Second Parley on Armaments Fade Rapidly
WASHINGTON. Dee. 29. —Prospects of another limitation of armament conference being called to consolidate the accomplishments of the present conference, and possibly to renew attempts at submarine limitation, began to fade rapidly today following a visit to the White House by Secretary of State Hughes. The President and Secretary Hughes held a long conversation over the armament conference developments and the failure of the meeting to limit tho submarine and auxiliary craft ratios of the big naval powers. Following the visit of Secretary Hughes to the White House, it was learned that the Administration holds the view that little could be accomplished by having n second conference immediately following the present one. The only excuse for such a conferfence. It was said, would be the adoption by the powers here of the program of rules which Elihu Hoot

has proposed for the future governing of submarines In warfare. If the powers agree to the restrictions on submarine uses as proposed by the American delegation, then it was staited, the other powers of the world maintaining submarine fleets would he asked to subscribe to them. But even this, it was pointed out, would hardly warrant the summoning of another conference, as the matter could be iuuiUled through exchanges of notes. It is the view of Administration leaders that tho present time offers little or no hope of arriving at any agreement. concerning auxiliary craft, other than what already has been accomplished in Washington. It is virtually certain, however, that another conference wilt be held seven or eight years hence—near the end of the expiration of the ten-year agreement on capital ships. This is the view held by the British delegation and shared by the Americans.
