Washington reports urge immediate French debt payment to force France to drop submarine policy. Amendments to the foreign debt refunding bill propose demanding interest and principal on a debt estimated between 1.2 and 3.0 trillion francs.

Paris says France ready to join limits on submarines and to adhere to any international rules from such talks. The U S and Britain favor a stricter stance on naval limits and merchant ship rules, while Paris cites coast defenses in comparative national need.
