REJUVENATION OF NAVY
FRENCH DEFENCE POLICY STRENGTHENING FRONTIER 1 COMMUNISTS’ CHALLENGE By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Paris, Dec. 28. The Chamber of Deputies has voted large sums for naval and land defences, the former to conform tb a fixed programme under which the whole navy will be rejuvenated by 1943. Socialists and Communists challenged expenditure on frontier defence, contending that it was out of harmony with France’s pacific professions at Geneva and The Hague. M. Maginot retorted that France was more willing to work for peace if she felt that her frontier was secure.
M. Albert Milhaud, an ex-Minister, writing in the Era Nouvelle, is of opinion that Gret Britain has made up her mind to leave American waters and the Pacific to thp United States, on condition that she maintains the supremacy of all the seas of Europe and en route to India and Australia. -
M. Tardieu will confer with Mr. Ramsay MacDonald prior to the naval conference, in the hope of reconciling French and British views on some problems.
