America would never agree to a disarmament plan which would make it impossible to assure the proper functioning of trains and telephones between. New York and Chicago. So why should we accept suggestions which would make it impossible for us to be masters of our own communications between the Antilles, North Africa, or Inde France? There is no doubt that China and their mother country, Britain has, the "greatest need for fleet, but France should have the next largest.
