I'VE are not asking and never

Lame de la France

Dun tres int6ressant article sur
P6tat dame de la France public
dams la "R6publique francaise"
sous la signature de M. Louis La
tapie, nous extrayons les passages
suivants:
On dit beaucoup de bien de la
France a travers le monde. II nest
pas jnsqu'aux Francais eux-memes
qui n'aient enfn cess6 de d6nigrer
la France. Cette heure est vrai-
ment exquise. Les ennemis eux-
memes laissent entendre qu'ils ne
nous en- veulent pas autrement.
Au fait, nous n'avons jamais fait
de NAL a personne. Isl ce nest
a -memes. La France 6tait,
avant la guerre, lie peuple lie plus
paciique du monde: ellie n n'inqui6-
TAFT ct ne menacait aucun voisln;
ellie poussait ses scrupues jusqu'a
renoncer a la preparation de la
guerre pour ne pas para1tre la de
sirer. Avec celia. nous n'avons pas
cess6 d'etre accueillants pour tous
les 6trangers, surtout pour ceux
qui venalent nous exploiter on
nous espionner. Enfn, la France
6tait une bonne file. Tout le mon
de en- convient.
Mais la bonne file, un beau
jour, s'est vue perdue, psrdue par
sa bont6, par son insouciance; ct,
vite, ellie s'est remont6e, CONNIE on
dit; ellie a affermi son anne ct bou-
Gle le centurion. Maintenant, ellie
est toute a la batallle, avec les
amis qui Sc sont groupes autour
dele, attentive, ardente ct tenace.
Et dams ce role nouveau. ellie ap-
para1t encore plus belle ct plus
sympathique.
Un American qui nous conna1t
bien, M. Sharp, ambassador des
Etats-Unis a Paris, a fait sur ce
sujet, aux journaux de son pays,
une declaration qui ne peut pas
passer lnapercue. Llsez ce passa-
ge:
Pour ce qui est des Francais,
je suis vex6 d'entendre tant de
gems dire combien lis ont etc mer-
veilleux dams cette guerre, combien
diff6rents de ceux que le monde
supposait. Si le monde les suppo-
salt diff6rents, ce que jai peine q
croire, tant pis pour le jugement
du monde.
"J'ai WI le peuple francais en-
guerre pendant dsux ans. Mais je
mai MULE raison de parler de lul
autrement que je n'aurais fait en-
ltemps de paix, car les traits fonda
