Abstract

France Wins at London

Dell, Robert | May 7, 1930 issue

add to cart close window

The French have got what they wanted and prevented what they wished to prevent. The French accepted the invitation to the naval conference most unwillingly, because in the circumstances they could not do otherwise, and the French delegates went to London with the firm intention of preventing, if possible, any final agreement for the reduction or limitation of naval armaments. The French official view was that, the conference should merely lay down principles for the guidance of the preparatory disarmament commission at Geneva. The French have succeeded in their chief aim, thanks to the Italian demand for parity with France, which enabled the French delegation to refuse the smallest reduction in the French naval program.
