French statement as to submarines. Mr..
Hughes said that If these vessels were to
be available for defensive purposes in
connection with feet movements they |
should bear some definite proportion to
the fighting fleets" The French sugges-
ton of 10000 tons ION any basis Of q
practicable ratio" he added, would in
volve the assumption that Great Britain ,
and the United States increase their sub
marine tonnage proportionately with the
French
Mr.. Balfour's Reply.
Mr.. Balfour, who followed Mr.. Hughes,
said that the French statement had
profoundly dfsapp ointed him." although
he rejoiced in French acceptance of the
capital ship ratio and agreed that If
nothing else was done as to naval dis
armament, the scheme already in sight
| with regard to the limitation Of capital
ships did immensely relieve the burden
Of armament upon an overburdened
world
Mr.. Balfour said he did not regard the
French action as to capital ships as an
| Overwhelming sacrifice" as the figure Of
| IT'S, 900 tons would be found to mean an
| increase in relative strength for her he
| did not begrudge. The French did pro-
| pose. he added, to increase the number
of submarines threefold," and he pointed
! out that while Frances 10000 tons in
| submersibles would equal the fleets Of
Great Britain and the United States in
| size, they would represent to the extent
of $4,000 tons Submarines of q newer
| type" than either other navy possessed.
This made it certain. he said, that if
France carried out her submarine pro-
/ gram her Submarines would exceed
those of any other power in theSworld."
The British delegate declared it "wa1
perfectly obvious that the proposed s0,.
600 tons Of submarines were Intended to
destroy commerce" !.
"They could not be intended for any
other purpose" he said, adding: "Ths
: whole Of this controversy will again come
: up before public conference for which
occasion he reserved himself.
Mr.. Balfour said he must dwell on tn,
effect the French declaration Of nava
policy must inevitably produce upol
British opinion"
; TT was perfectly clear he said, "tha
, If at our very gates a fleet Of $4,000
submarines 100000 tons OF which are Il
be Of a newer type) are to be constructed
no limitation of any kind on auxiliar,
vessels capable of dealing with subma
rines could be admitted by the govern
ment" which he represented.
Replying to Mr.. Balfour, NJ. sarrau
said he could not comment ION the or
ders of my government adding tina
certain delegations had expressed dis
i appointment that France could not max
sacrifices similar to those she made i
= capital sh;ps, as to other classes of yes
