PLAN TO DESTROY SUBMARINE
POWER IN TIME OF WAR


are endeavoring to see whether the
French who abEorred the submarine
when tie Germans used it will now
defend it as humane and legitimate
instrument of warfare.
The rules of warfare being drawn
are such as to make it impossible for
a submarine to attack "a merchant
ship for obviously the undersea craft
cannot take care of the lives of eth
er crew or passengers and one of the
new rules provides that the merchant
ship. can't be sunk unless that is done
OF course the submarine would still
be useful in naval battle against an
invasion by fleet but then destroy
ers usually accompany the larger
ships anyway and destroyers mean
sure death to a submarine.
For the moment the effort to make
of submarines has been abandoned
but it is questionable whether the
issue has been permanently disposed
of. The French are playing Washing
ton against Cannes which is only
another way of saying that when
Prime Minister Lloyd George meets
Premier BRAND at the Supreme
Council at Cannes some bargaining
may take place which will modify the
French attitude at Washington. So
concerned, it is plainly losing faith in
and patience with the French. The
talk is that the French have COM
pletely misconceived the spirit of
of coming here with the notion Of CIV
ing up naval strength, the French
have attempted to bargain all along
the line. In the words of a man who
is described as one of 'offended van
ity from the start" He attributes
French pique to an accumulation of
minor incidents which would sound
incredible if the details were pub
lished. He represents Premier BRAND
as exasperated in the first days of the
because of some mechani-
cal defect in the seating of the French
delegation at the plenary sessions.
Another incident was the fact that
the French were not invited to parti-
cfpate as observers in the conversa-
tions between China and Japan over
Shantung. RumOr has it that the
Japanese didn't want the French be-
ion. Still another episode in which
French displeasure was incurred
arose out of the conversations pre- |
ceding the negotiation of the four
power pact. While France was in
cluded as a signatory, her representa-
tives didn't ''get in on the ground
floor" in the shaping of the project. |
What France could possibly have I
wanted except to change the char
acter of the pact itself is not explain
ed but the French are said to have
had their sensibilities aroused just |
the same. Admiral de Bon, French |
naval expert, wasn't taken in on the |
hrst conversations about capital ships |
as the parley was between the Brit
ish, Americans and Japanese in or
der to get an agreement among the |
first three powers. That is still anoth-
er cause of French discomfort. There |
are many incidents like these which
cumulatively have produced the
French policy of obstruction
Looking retrospectively, Americans
are wondering whether it was such a
wise thing after all to abandon the
topic of land ornaments when Prem
ier BRAND made his speech There
are those who believe the French
would have played ball'' as the Brit
ish are doing if they had been kept
