BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
THE VALUE OF OUR NAVY TO FRANCE. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 8.15 a.m.) Paris, April 3. General He La Croix, in an article in Le Temps, says it is a falbicy to argue that the support of the British Navy is worth half a million men to France. It would make no difference as it would be impossible for Britain to leave the defence of her Continental interests to Russia. Napoleon was not beaten at Trafalgar, but at Waterloo. Britain’s support on the Meuse would counterbalance Germany’s numerical superiority. Only a good expeditionary array of fifteen to twenty divisions would guarantee to Britain and France victory.
