ANOTHER CAPITAL SHIP
——■#■ FRENCH GOVERNMENT'S PLANS (UNITED FRESS ASSOCIATION— BT ELECTRIC TKLEGKAFH—COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, March I. The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says that the Government is expected to prepare for the early construction of a capital ship of 35,000 tons, in addition to the battleships of 26,500 tons now being constructed. Permission may be sought to build a second capital ship in 1937. The decision results from Italy's persistence in the construction of two 25,000-ton ships and American and Japanese shipbuilding activity. The new French capital ships will probably be super-dreadnoughts resembling the Rodney and replacing the obsolete Jean Bart and Courbet.
