"France In bad Position"

France has no proposals to make
on land armaments," NJ. BRAND said TO-
night. II shall simply state our po-
sltion. The question OF land ornaments
is not at all parallel with that Of the
navies Navies do not represent the
same peril for other nations as armies
do. Navies can be cut down with com
parative ease, but not so armies.
France Is In a very bad strategic
position. The armies of her enemies
are n real menace which she must
guard against. There IL Germany.

TO raise a formidable army. There Is
also Russia, who is capable OF joining

France must have an army to meet
this danger England, surrounded as
she is by water. can very easily defend
her frontiers This is not the case with
France. France Is in an Isolated po-
si,ion and must be able to defend her
self.
