France Calls For 350000 Tons Of New Ships By 1941
French delegates presented a concrete naval build plan to the armament conference promising ten new ships replacing the current capital fleet by 1941 for a total 350000 tons. The schedule begins 1926 with keel layings and aims to keep colonial interests protected amid limited tonnage constraints. Public opinion in France, favored by delegates, is cited as key to guiding strategy and resisting reductions.

Delay to Arms Conference Feared in France Stand
The Brench proposal for a capital ship ratio of 350 000 tons, once a mere suggestion, now has full support of the French government. This development at the arms conference delays expected early adjournment as American British Japanese ratios are settled and Shantung talks progress. A solid opposition is feared if France forces the -8-3-3 ratio, with delegations wary of security implications.
