SUBMARINES
JAPAN FAVOURS ABOLITION DOUBTS IF OTHERS AGREE (Reuter'i TOKIO, Nov. 20. The Cabinet Council informally discussed the submarine abolition, but though sympathetic, considered it was not feasible unless all the Powers agreed, which is thought doubtful. FRANCE’S INTENTIONS PROGRAMME TO BE REDUCED PARIS, Nov. 20. Interviewed by Anglo-American pressmen, Af. Corel, Minister of Marine, declared that the French Government agreed with Mr Baldwin that the submarine question should be considered jointly by all interested countries in connection with the whole problem of naval disarmament. France, however, was not unmindful of the spirit of the Locarno Pact, and intended to reduce the submarine programme by an equivalent of one-third by spreading the construction programmes for 1925-26 over 18 months each. He concluded that France did not desire to fall behind other countries in the cause of peace or disarmament.
