Washington Conference.
.From the Special Representative of the Australian Press Association.) SUBMARINES UNSETTLED. (Received This Day at 10.15 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. The American delegates meeting their delegation to-day, made a definite statement that there was absolutely no prospect of agreement on the submarine issue. The French would acquiesce in the capital ship ratio, tu, refuse to entertain anything like Mr Hughes figures for submarines. If correct- this presages an early wind tip of tlie Conference. Britain will stand out for no limitation on the building of auxiliary craft, but there may be some agreement concerning the size of cruisers and about aircraft carriers, but tlio restriction of submarines to purely military users will not come up. The prospects of another Conference are still vague.
