FRANCE FIRM
FOR HER SUBS
GauIs Answer Stimson's
Proposal With Flat
Dictum

LONDON, Feb. 6-P- French
navy conference circles today de-
clared fatty that France would not
in any way consider now the aboli-
ton o. submarines. The pronounce
ment vas in answer TO the announ-
cement OF the American delegation
head, Colonel Henry L. StimSon,
that az next Tuesdays plenary ses-
sion he would propose abolition OF
underwater craft.
France, as had already been
forecast. IL was said, intends TO
make proposals for "human!Zation'
OF submarine warfare. II was I'M
derStoDd the main French stipula-
ton would forbid the sinking OF
merchant vessels In wartime unless
they were armed heavily. In this
case the nations would bind them
selves 70 make ev-ry provision Tor
the safety OF crews.
The French announcement was
made after a meeting OF the dele
CATION last night at which the sub
marine question was examined
again on the basis OF an announce
ment that America and Great Brit
ain were agreed on the a~dvisability
o. abolishing the craft. The out
come OF the elaboration was a re-
affirmation OF the old stand that
submarines are a necessity for
France.
The French position is that coast
defense guns are immobile and OF
short range, and therefore mobile
submarines are vitality necessary 10
protect ports from attack. Another
French argument is that submarines
are essential TO guard conveys and
are more valuable even than cruisers
IN this respect.
