WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August IL.
The "humaniZation" of submarine
warfare represents a compromise be-
tween the various admiralties, declared
Daniel W. Wainhouse of New York,
assistant director of research, council
on foreign relations, at the general
conference on limitation or ornaments
of the institute of politics.
IF the humanization of the sub
marine can be said to have any merit
at all, the merit lies in the fact that
it sets up standard of conduct which
if broken might expose the covenant
breaker TO the risk of mourning the
wrath of nations who are anti-sub-
marine minded" he said. THE human
iZation of the submarine represents a
compromise between the admiralties
who seek to make the seas safe for
their battleshipS and those who find It
the least expensive of water craft
capable of the greatest destructive
force"
Declares Italy Fears France.
In discussing the naval building pro-
grams of FrarIe and Italy, Wainhouse
said that Italy's claim for parity was
based partly on 1.-The fear generated by
the Franco-Jugloslav alliance which
Italy regards as a direct threat to her
security"
At the present time, according to
Wainhouse,, France and Italy combined
have a greater cruiser and destroyer
tonnage than Great Britain, and France
alone has a larger and more formidable
submarine fleet than her neighbor
across the channel. If Great Britain
invokes article 81 of the London treaty
and builds over the treaty figures to
maintain two-poWer standard, the
United States, if it wants to maintain
parity with the strongest, would have
to build to match a similar British
increase, ne said
Thus he pointed out, "the size of
the British, American and Japanese
navies may eventually be determined by
two powers who are not SignatorieS
to the treaty"
French Attitude Explained.
The Importance attached by the
French nation to its fleet was stated
by DR.. Paul Mantoux, director of the
Institute of Higher International Studies
of Geneva, to be the need for uninter-
rupted commerce with Northern Africa
to make herself practically self-suf-
flcient" for food crops.
He said that France is contemplating
along her land frontier a system of
fortified positions to be completed in
time of war by lines of trenches"
The minimum needs of japanese
naval defense, according to Yusuke
Tsurumi, former member of the Japa-
nese Diet, is a navy large enough to
protect the three Straits of FormoSa,
Tsushima and Sakhalien and an army
strong enough to keep the peace in
Korea and Manuchuria. Until the
day comes" he said, when the land,
sea and air forces of all nations are
used for the purpose of policing the
world, Japan must have this amount of
force for herself and that will consti-
tute the reasonable need of Japans pre-
paredneSs"
World Flying Standards Urged.
In the round table discussion of the
political aspects of aerial navigation,
Edward P. Warner, former Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics,
declared that there should be a single
basis for international flying for the
whole world. He urged toward this
end coordination of activities of the
many organizations concerned with in
ternational aviation as measure of
great and immediate Importance.
