FRANCE OUR FRIEND.
GRANDSON OF LAFAYETTE TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Tells Story That Is Well Remembered
by Those Who Love the Stars and
Stripes es-Incidentally He Recalls Eng
lands Treachery. ,

Paul de Lasteyrie, grandson of Gen.
Lafayette, sends the following mes
sage from Paris, addressed to the peo-
pie of the United States:
1T is scarcely necessary that the
grandson of Lafayette should put him
self on record as favoring the most
cordial relations between my country
and the country for which my grand
father fought. The blessings Of liber-
ty for which both countries have pour
ed out their blood and treasures In
common constitute broad-based
friendship. One hundred and twenty
years of the most cordial intercourse
have sealed their friendship. | am
aware that efforts have been made
within the past year to interrupt our
time-honored friendship. Consequent
ly rejoice all the more at the move
ment now so we'll under way to cher
ish an entente cordiale between France
and the United States.
"The heated and exaggerated state
ments regarding French sympathy
with Spain during the war are now
known to be without foundation. l
am glad to add my humble tribute Of
praise to your great journal for having
weighed at their proper value a few
adverse. paragraphs in our boulevard
papers, for having kept the American
people properly informed by state
ments and interviews with our men Of
light, for having broken down an in
cipient boycott founded upon hostile
representation-in short, for having
saved the entente cOrdiale.
"The Continental friend of the
United States is France. Your Con-
tinental enemy is we'll known.
Turn to England, which is called
as l believe not quite correctly, the
mother country, and what do you find?
After she has knocked unavailingly at
the doors of all the nations of Europe,
the rejected Of this continent seeks an
alliance with the United States. France
helped you in your distress; England
acknowledges you only when you are
prosperous. It is the case of a poor
relation becoming powerful and then
recognized by hitherto ignoring rela-
tions. England has been always
against the United States in the criti-
cal periods of her history; France has
been always with the American repub-
lie.
II am not an authority upon COM
merce, but I believe commercial rea-
sons unite with those of traC itions,
history and friendship in binding to-
gether the two republics. Let no one
insult my intelligence by saying to me
that the American people lack either
gratitude or sentiment. I know that
In the celebration of Independence day
France is never forgotten, and | know
that you never celebrate Washington's
birthday without paying a tribute to
the memory Of my grandfather. The
American people show a reciprocity Of
esteem and even Of affection for
France by erecting statue of Lafay-
cite in the most beautiful spot in Par
Is. And this gift from the republic Of
the west comes in such way that the
school children, the future men and
women Of the whole country, will
study the historic links which bind US.
1t is the duty Of Americans as well as
of Frenchmen to let no interested cal
umniators ever interrupt our friend
