"I TOLD YOU SO"
REACTION IN FRANCE
SARCASM RATHER THAN
SURPRISE
(Received July 10, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 9. The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says that the German naval programme evokes sarcasm rather than surprise. The tendency is to say "I told you. so" to Britain instead of to take the revelation too much to heart.
Experts regard the announcement of two 26,000-ton capital ships as a confession of at least partial failure of the famous pocket battleships, which are reported to have shown serious defects. France has a reply in two projected 35,000-ton ships which are unlikely to be outclassed., at least for the present, owing to the dimensions of the Keil Canal.
