ENTENTE IN THE AIR.
“LE TEMPS” MAKES A SUGGESTION.
[By Electric Cafcie—Copyright] [Aust and N.Z. Cable Association.] PARI?, May 11. ‘‘Be Temps,” in an important article suggesting a Franco.Britisli aerial and naval pact, says. If Britain and France agreed to help each other against all dangers their aerial and naval experts together could Ejoon improve the aerial defences, and guarantee the sea communications without cither nation hav. ing to bear heavier burdens than at present. England would not ask France to build a squadron of cruisers to protect the new Singapore naval base, and France would not expect England to recruit an army for the Continent. ‘‘Each nation would be more free and more tranquil such an arrangement. Why do not England and France conclude an agreement to protect the communications to their colonial empires and connect their aerial defences? France would do everything to further such a plan.”
