Regu1a- lions of the uses of these craft might, it was added effect the question of tonnage, but the question of the status must come first.
 It was pointed out in these quar- ters, with reference to the tonnage issue. that France, including her colonies has coast line of 15,OOO miles to defend, while the United 11,000 miles.
 Washington, Dec. a0-CBy the A.

 Where then, ask the economists ex- perts in Washington. is France to get the money to lay down 5000 tons of submarines and 330,000 tons of nuxiliary naval fighting craft?
 Ninety-thousand tons of Subma- sines would cost, according to Ameri- can estimates approximately $780, 100000. The more than 30O,0 900 tons of auxiliary craft would cost around llalf a billion dollars by the same fig 1Iring.
 The conviction is held in conference circles that neither the French treas hIry nor French public opinion is pre- pared to sanction such a huge outlay and that France fought here for the b-ight to build a huge navy rather than Nor the actual tonnage
