GENEVA CONFERENCE
SUBMARINES.
As might be expected from the nation which suffered losses in human life and treasure from the operation of enemy submarines during the Great War for heavier than any of her allies, the British Empire has on two occasions, at Versailles and at Washington, ex- pressed a desire to abolish the sub- marine as a weapon of war. This proposal
received for abolition little or no support from other no- tions, and, although at the Wash- ington Conference agreements wore arrived at by which the har- rors of submarine warfare experi- enced from-1914 to 1918 may be obviated in future wars, no agree- the ment was found possible on Deli limitation of submarine tonnage. Judging from the programmes of submarine construction since then, the efficiency and power of the sub- marine are now fully established, and even the weaker naval Powers -Greece, Poland, Jugo-Slavia, Peru, and others are adding units to their slender navies, as if con- vinced of the submarine's efficiency as a weapon of defence.
