U. S. RELIANCE ON FLEET, NOT SUBS, PRAISED French Authority Declares Air and Undersea Craft Only Auxiliaries. REVEALS 1921 PROGRAM PARIS, Feb. 12. —The American naval policy of constructing a big surface fleet instead of relying on submarines airplanes was defended as wise and proper today by Pierre Dupuy, president of the naval committee of the French Chamber of Deputies. “The United States is right in constructing a big surface fleet and not relying upon submarine? and airplanes, which are valuable only as auxiliaries," said Deputy Dupuy. "Nothing in the history of the recent war and nothing Indicated by s ience for the future proves that battleships and cruisers are obsolete. However, four 10.000-ton ships are to be preferrerd to one 60,000-ton warsbip, on the principle that a nation should not put all its naval egsg In one basket. “X cannot deny the importance of the role the German submarines played early In the war, sinking a large lum'.er of Isolated ships and thus interfering with the supplies and transports. But the same conditions did not exist at t.ve end of the war. At the end of the conflict the allies were rendering efficacious service against the German submarines. The frequent destruction of the underwater craft had the crews demoralised. "What can the submarine do in the future against merchantmen armed with Yapid-flre, long-range guns and defended by airplanes and warships? "I do not believe that submarine cruisers can change the situation. They are unwieldy to maneuver and expose themselves to enemy warships and airplanes. Furthermore, the navigation of big submarines has not been perfected This was proved by the recent loss of the British submarine K-3 with a loss cf fifty-six lives. “The submarine has advantages as a weapon of attack while escorting warships, but when isolated Is doomed to flight or destruction before hostile men-of-war and airplanes. Progress in science has made It easy to detect the presence of submarines. “At the beginning of the war the allies trade the mistake of navigating in dispersed order. Later, when ships were reinforced 1 destroyers and airplanes, they moved In groups along secret routes and the danger of being torpedoed was reduced to practically nothing. Look back, for instance, to the maanei in which United States transports brought the great American Army across the Atlantic in safety. Those vessels came in groups. "France contemplates for 1921 the eon structlon of six middle-sized cruisers, twelvo destroyers and twelve submarines. We believe that is sufficient for this year.”

Mich., Feb. 12.—Henry Ford today for the first time broke his silence regarding his anti-Jewish propaganda. The widely discussed anti Jewish articles In Ford’s paper, the Dearborn Independent. are really a continuance of tha voyage of the famous peace ship.

The pro* test was signed by President Wilson. William Cardinal O’Connell and other leaders. Ford's Interview might be summarized this way: 1. Ford is attacking the international Jewish bankers to promote world peace. 2. He denies that he 1? anti Semitic, claiming he employs 5.000 Jews and would have signed the anti-Semitic protest had he been given the opportunity. 3. His desire Is to wake up “boob” gentilts and get them to display the same energy and earnestness ns the Jews. “Not through dislike of the Jews, not because of anti-Semitism, but because I want the Jews to cooperate with the gentiles to bring about world peace, our paper has been used to expose Jewish propaganda.” (Copyright, 1921, New England Newspaper Publishing Company ) (Copyright, 1921, International News Service.)
