FRENCH REQUEST
SHARE OF GERMAN FLEET
PARIS, October 26. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the French Government is much concerned in having received no reply to a request for a portion of the German Fleet in part compensation for French naval losses during the war.
The demand was a very modest one. France asked for six destroyers, six torpedo-boats, six submarines, three cargo vessels, and three submarine supply ships, making a total of 30,000 tons, while the total still left to the German Fleet is 141,000 tons, including. 11l submarines.
The spokesman again raised the contention which France has been consistently putting forward in Berlin, and recently at the London Conference, that the Rhineland and Westphalia should be separated from the rest of Germany.
