France bas been driven to this attitude because of what it has suffered, and for that reason it gets no small amount of sym- pathy. And yet it is to be Fealized that Mrough the naval agréement which the representatives of France assisted in perfecting there is the opportunity for| that country to give assurance to oth- #rs that its aims ate not militaristic Sveh as It Mas been declared.
