ON FLEET, NOT
SUBS, PRAISED
French Authority Declares Air
and Undersea Craft Only
AuXiliarieS.
REVEALS 1921 PROGRAM

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE American
naval policy of constructing a big
surface feet instead of relying on
submarines and airplanes was de-
Tended as wise and proper today by
Pierre Dupuy, president of the naval
committee of the French Chamber
of Deputies.
1.-THE United States is right in con
structing a big surface feet and not
relying upon submarines and airplanes,
which are valuable only as auxiliarles."
said Deputy Dupuy.
Nothing in the history Of the recent
war and nothing indicated by science for
the future proves that battleships and
cruisers are obsolete. However, four
150OO-ton ships are to be preferred to
one 60,O00-tOn warship, on the principle
that q nation should not put all its naval
egsg IN one basket.
Il cannot deny the importance Of the
Iole the German submarines played early
in the war, sinking a large 1um"er OF
isolated ships and thus interfering with
the supplies and transports. But the
same conditions did not exist at tie end
Of the war. At the end Of the con
hict the allies We're rendering eficactOus
service against the German submarines
The frequent destruction OF the under
water craft had the crews demOralized.
What can the submarine do in the
future against merchantmen armed with
rapid fire, long-range guns and defended
By airplanes and warshipsI
81 do not believe that submarine
cruisers can change the situation. They

themselves to enemy warshIps and air
planes. Furthermore, the navigation Of
big submarines has not been perfected
This was proved By the recent loss OF
the British submarine K-5 with loss
CT ffty-six lives.
"The submarine has advantages as a
weapon of attack while escorting war
ships. but when isolated is doomed to
fight or destruction before hostile men
of-war and airplanes. Progress in sci
ence has made It easy to detect the
presence of submarines.
at the beginning OF the war the allies
made the mistake OF navigating in dis
persed order. Later, when ships were
reinforced IT, destroyers and airplanes,
they moved in groups along secret
routes and the danger Of being torpedoed
was reduced to practically nothing.
Look back, for instance, to the manner
in which United States transports
brought the great American Army across
the Atlantic IN safety. Those vessels
came in groups.
France contemplates for 1921 the con
structIon Of six middle sized cruisers.
twelve destrOyerS and twelve submarines
We believe that is sufficient for this
year"

FIXES TAX AND
RATE FIGURES
ON SAME PLANE
House Utility Amendment
Seeks to Prevent Divergence
in Valuation.
HOFFMAN FATHERS BILL

A bill that would prevent public
utilities from being valued at one figure
for taxation and at another for rate
making purposes was introduced In the
House yesterday afternoon by Repre-
sentative John II. Hoffman of LigOnler:
This provision would come in an
amendment to section 9 Of the public
utilities law and reads as follows;
The commission shall value all OF the
property Of every public utility actually
used and useful for the convenience of
the public AS one Of the elements in
such valuation the commi ssion shall give
weight to the reasonable cost of bringing
the property to its then state of eff
cheney. in making such valuation the
committee may avail itself OF any infor-
nation in possession OF the State board
of raX commiss oners, or any local au-
thorities.. The commission may accept
any valuation Of the physical property
made by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission OF any public utility subject TO
the provisions Of this act, but in no
case shall the valuation of the property
Of any public utility be fixed by the
commission. at a greater amount for rate
making purposes than the amount for
which such utility is returned for taxa
ton"
HEARINGS IN
COUNTIES AFFECTED.
Another amendment makes It manda
tory that no hearing can be held except
hy a member OF the commission and 'all
hearings shall be held in the county or
counties affected"
An amendment to Section 81 OF the
law gives the commission power to in
Yestigate without notice whenever Il
believes that any rate or charge may
be unreasonable or unjusJly discrimina-
tory, or that service is inadequate, or
cannot be obtained, or that an investi-
cation OF any matter relating to any
public utility should for any reasons
he made, or whenever the cost Of fuel
material labor and other elements, neces-
sary for the operation OF any public
utility, shall have materially declined.
