FRANCE FIGHTS FOR MARINE Follows Up Refusal to Agree to British Demand for "~ rr “ Abolition. AGAINST THE ROOT SCHEME Instructions From Paris Are to Accept the Plan "in Principle Only,” and Insist on a Thorough Discussion. Washington, Jnn. s.—Following up tlielr refusal to agree to the British demand For abolition of the submarine, tfie French delegation received instructions from Baris to stand out agalust the Boot plan to prevent submarine operations against merchant ships until a number of vital collateral questions are cleared up. The big points in which the French, as well as the Italians and Japanese, are interested are a definition of a merchant ship and arming of merchant craft. The final orders came after a series of'exchanges betwtVn the delegation and the liTime government, in which the importance „of having the several other questions involved In the ban on submarines clarified was emphasized by Admiral lie Bon, naval delegate. The instructions, are to accept the .Boot plan “in principle 1 ’ only and-to Insist upon discussion with a view to a settlement of the points.considered essential by the French government. The French make it plain they ore not seeking to legalize undersea attacks i'n nii'rch'unt criift. — What they are holding but for is that ships of war shall not lie guaranteed immunity from submarine attack by assuming the guise of merchant craft. \i ith the Italians and Japanese, .they also want It fixed so that the naval, limitations and reductions agreed upon here cannot he offset bv a power with a vast mercantile marine by arming her merchant vessels and operating them as cruisers, etc. The French delegation also has received instructions as to the proposed limitation of 10.000 tons on the size of Individual auxiliary craft. Details of these instructions were .withheld, but it was understood the qubkfion of concerting merchant vessels into vessels of war •in wartime entered into consideration. Secretary Hughes, who had stated earlier in the day that he had not heard whether the French, Italians and Japanese had received instructions from their home governments on the two questions, was advised that the French were ready to go ahead With consideration of the subjects. 4 The Frencl/ottitudejowards ifleTTg oMhe capitaf’ship ratio agreement, on which they entered ts- reservation, was learned.. Whereashb time limit Is set lc the original Hughes plan, the French, who are relegated to the position of a fourth class naval power, with a capital ship ratio of 1.75, along with Italy, as compared to fcs-3 for the United States, Great Britain ami Japan, want the life of the agreement limited to 20 years, and preferably 15. The four-power Pacific treaty—continued ns an outstanding topic at the eapitol and in coß|erence circles. An official adminlStrafiSofi view was expressed that it made no difference from a general political viewwhether or nfif tie pact included the Japanese homeland. The question of whether the inclusion of Japan shall be eliminated still is pending. To tiie already long list of reservations to the_ pact whiefi senators already'had prepared anew one was .added. •„ It relates' to the Philippines ’and is intended to bestow independ-enco-upon the islands, with an aiMitfcnial "pledgeby the signers of th<g four-power - treaty that they wlil let the Philippines -alone.
