The French think their gov- ernment lips particular right to a number of these vessels liy way of compensation for their losses, + Major Davi Davies, chairman the league of nations union, wccord- ing to the Chronicle despatel. sug- gests that the German fleet should be handed over to the league of nations as the nucleus of an intertiational yolice force could be r lied upon ta enforce the decisions of the league. Doubfless, says Major Davies, such an International force would have to be built up step by step. It is un necessary that the whole fleet shoul he commissioned at the same time. Thys long period: would elapse be- fore it could possibly rival existing national fleets, but as voon as ti league of natlons develops and soon as the strain of competing armamer: levsens, the Moet cuuld bo added to. Regarding: tie question of for the international, Major Davies says, that the Intufe status of Constan dinopl Would vou become an im- ot portaut question at the peace con- ference Was it not possible that the straits and the Bosphorus could be in- ternationalized -and that Constan rople should become one of the first bases of the international police fere Major Davies: adds that proposals were recentl; to ubolish the submarine as a weapon of naval war- fare. If the league of nations had a snfficient number of submarines at its disposel and meintained a saono- poly in the development of this wea- pon, that wag Uh only sure and ef- fective means of securing its abaud- onmeat by individual nations The disposal of the Germany ravy offers opportunities of mriking the league of nations a redlity and it partially with the means of exercising its authority and iain- taining processes of law against ag- gression and violence.
