STAND0N SIZE
OF WARSHIPS
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

Frances move to induce Pres
ident Roosevelt to direct the Amer
lean delegation to the London
naval conference to abandon its
stand for maintenance Of battle
ships at their present size was
doomed to failure today.
Undersecretary of State Phil
lips will formally notify AmbaSsa-
dor Andrew de Laboulaye within
the next day or two that the bat.
tleship issue must be handled by
the American delegation at Lon.
dor. rather than through diplo-
matte channels here.
This will be the State Depart
ment's polite diplomatic way OF
telling the French government
that it considers the American
delegation competent to know
whether it should abandon its
stand for the maintenance Of 35,-
000-ton battleshipS.
Phillips already has notified M.
De Laboulaye that he personally
does not believe this Government
would care to transfer discussion
of the issue from its delegation at
London to diplomatic channels
here in Washington. He told him
this when the envoy. acting on
instructions from Paris, called at
the department to bring direct
pressure to bear to have the Amer
lean delegation recede from its
stand.
As q matter of courtesy, how.
ever, Phillips informed him the
matter would be submitted to the
President.
The French move in going over
the head of the American delega-
ton at London was not well re-
ceived here.
Although Secretary of State
Hull sought for diplomatic reasons
to make it appear that such pro
cedure was not unusual in the
course of international confer
enceS, the view prevailed in more
than one quarter that there was
something more behind the
French move than merely desire
to secure a reduction in the size
Of battleships.
France showed little interest in
the battleship issue until it ap-
peared recently that the United
States and Great Britain were
about to agree upon maintenance
Of 35,000-ton ships.
