PARISIS B STCK AT NAVAL PARLE London -Believes Success or Failure Depends Wholly on French Attitude. BY A. G. GARDINER. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, December 28.—In politi- eal circles here the conviction pre- vails that the success or failure of the coming naval conference depends mainly on the attitude of France, and the publication on Priday of the text of the French government’s memorandum on naval limitation is being closely scrutinized and discussed in official Except in one particular, the memo- randum follows the trend of policy in- dicated by the Paris press and by un- official forecasts. The advocacy of naval limitation by tonnage rather than by class is in accord with the French principle of reliance on sub- marines and smaller craft and indicates no disposition on the part of the French government to modify its at- titude on the submarine issue, in re- gard to which Great Britain, the United States and Italy have signified their preparedness for drastic abolition meas- ures, In this crucial matter the sympathies of the conference will be definitely op- posed to the French, whs, “xcept for a certain support from Japan, will be practically isolated in defense of the submarine as an established instru- ment of war. French Avoid Big Ships. Significance is attached here to the entire avoidance’ of on in the French memorandum of the big ship | question, which bulks so large in the -American considerations of naval ent. This fact emphasizes the wide disparity in the two views on | naval warfare—the one directed to commanding the surface of the sea and the other to operating below the sur- face. The French have gone so far in the adoption of the latter strategy that they have ceased the replacement of big ships authorized under the ‘Washington agreement. since 1927. The intention of the French govern- ment to claim that naval disarmament must be considered in relation to land and air armaments was not unexpected, but the view is held that this course in- troduces an incalculable factor in the discussions which will seriously perplex the possibility of arriving at differences. ‘With regard to the argument of the French government that France's naval needs are conditioned by the fact that she has three coasts to defend, it is pointed out that before the World War, when the German Navy was in exist- ence and when nothing but a gentleman’s understanding existed between Prance and England, the defense of the north- ern and western coasts of France was ieft to England, and the French naval No Reason for Alarm. It is argued that with the German Navy destroyed, and with such securities covenant of the League of Na- tions, the Locarno treaty and the Kel- pact in being, Prance has less rea- nervousness, especially in regard her northern and western coasts, than | any time in history. section of the memorandum | arouses the most interest is that lating to the future of the Mediter- ranean. In a recent dispatch this cor- t suggested the extension -of the Locarno and Pacific treaty prece- dents to the Mediterranean problem. ‘The Prench government now formally presents the idea of & mutual guaran- tee and non-aggression agreement among the Mediterranean powers, in- cluding Spain, in addition to those rep- resented at the London conference. This proposal is by much the most original and hopeful feature of the memoran- dum, and opens up possibilities for un- usual progress. If such a scheme can be made ap- Pplicable to the Mediterranean its exten- into other waters is obviously btvmz within the range of practical poiit and the problem of naval dis- armament can be solved by the elimina- tion of the necessity of armaments. The suggestion is made here in more hopeful Junrurs that the logical con- clusion of the French idea would be an agreement by the powers to demilitarize the Mediterranean and follow the ex- ample so triumphantly set by the Rush- Bagot agreement between England and the United States, under which the Great Lakes have been disarmed for more than a century.
