France Says Agreement
Prevents Purchase of Ships

by the United states Senate of April
"a 1912. .,..
read; The transfer of any enemy's
vessels to a neutral flag effected after
the outbreak of hostilities is void, un-
less il is provided that such trans
fer was not made in order to evade the
consequences to which any enemy's ves-
sells as such is exposed.
''There, however, Is an absolute pre-
sumption that a transfer is void If such
transfer has been made during voy-
age
"Suppose that this declaration did not
exist il was stated. "the fact remains
that no help should be given TO any bel
ligerant by another power; that the
purchase would be helping one of the
belligerents whose ships are at present
of no use TO them, but on the contrary
are causing expense which expense
would be transformed into very valu-
able asset. namely something like
$4,000, 600"
