In Paris the general opinion is that the imitation may lead to an expansion rather than a contrac- tion of armaments and these views are shared by the Moscow Press. Should these views prove correct then indeed it would be unfortun- ate, for it was not at all meant that the limitations" should have such result, Of course limitation at a higher level would be more desirable than no limitation at all. but is there any reason to con- template a higher level? As far as France is concerned the ratio fixed for the German fleet would leave Germany permanently, in- ferior to France as regards naval strength, while the actual tonnage of the German navy would increase only if Great Britain found it necessary to expand her navy, to counter increased naval strength from other quarters.
