subcommittee is going too fully into

The full committee started out in an
era of good feeling. devoid of section

impression is gaining ground, among
others than the subcommittee, that the
tentative bill is taking a very decided
slant toward sectioRalism and with a
tendency away from equalization OF

Following the meeting Of the cabinet

are too great, as they are unable 10

Most of the discussion at the cabinet
meeting was directed toward the adj

necessity Of supplying as many SHIPS
as quickly as possible for the carrying

Paris Press Sees in Cordially o.
U. S. the Cementing Of Unity
Between Republics.

PARIS. April 2s-The arrival of the
French mission in the United States is
the occasion for many expressions of
appreciation in the French press for
the cordially of its reception and its
Significance in cementing the relations
between the two republics.
La Liberte says it recalls the great
manifestation in the United States
when Lafayette returned to that coun-
try forty years after he had shared in
the victory of Yorktown.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-04-28
Rated as Moving Manifestation. .

The Temps says the arrival of the
mission has occasioned one of the most
moving manifestations witnessed since
the opening of the war
"Other nations have rendered homage
to the role which France plays in the
greatest tragedy of history says the
Iemps, but we are particularly touch
ed by the warm sympathy the Ameri-
can people show us in the present cir
cumstances. There is between the two
nations glorious past which unites
their hearts in full confidence. Outside
of any political alliance there is be-
tween the French and American peoples
real solidarity of sentiment and aspi-
ration. and the two republics feel them
selves close together in this supreme
struggle for liberty and civilization.
This is why the acclamations which well
come the French mission in the United
States find a profound echo on this side
OF the Atlantic. The French people APP
preciate 1t and fully comprehend its
deep moral value"

Sequel to Present Mission.

As sequel to the present mission, a
popular movement now is taking form
for the removal of the ashes of Lafay-
cite from the old Picpus cemetery and
to deposit them in the Invalides along
side those of Napoleon. Regarding this
movement former Deputy Georges Ber-
thoulat writes in La Liberte:
This transfer of the ashes of the
great exponent of Franco-American
unity should take place on the next
French national holiday, July IA, the
commemoration of the fall of the Bas-
tile. and be the occasion for imposing
ceremonies"
