NATIONS.
DEFENSIVE INTERVENTION
IN RUSSIA NECESSARY
League Of Nations Favored and Rsoov-
cry Of Alsacs- Lorraine Demanded
Statement Forced in Chamber Of
Deputies BY Socialist Partiss-Pe-
iitieal Storm Breaks.

Paris, Dec. :o.-The storm which
chamber for the past four days broke
Sunday afternoon when stephen Pich-
on. minister of foreign affairs, amid
violent interruptions by the socialists
and counter demonstrations by the
government supporters, outlined the
peace terms OF France.
The minister declared tina; France
Is absolutely in agreement that full
publicity be given TO tho proceedings
OF the peace conference.
He announced that Intervention in
Russia was inevitable. but that II
would be of "A defensive character so
far as French troops were concerned,
and that IL offensive operations were
undertaken II must be by Russian
troops
Politics Force Statement.
II had been evident Tor the past
week that the opponents of Premier
Clemepceau were determined to OBJ
struct in every possible way the vot-
ing of the budget of l0,50o,ooo.eo"
francs for the first three months OF
1918 unless the government stated Its
peace terms either through Premier
Clemenceau or VI. Pichon. But II was
not expected that the government
would DO so before today.
NJ Franklin Bouillon of the com
mittee OF foreign affairs. brought mat
ters TO a head. however. by violent
attack on NJ Pichon and the govern
ment's foreign policy.
Since Thursday the government
bench has sat in obdurate silence
refusing TO reply to any queries. but
when NJ Pichon assembled the tribune
Sunday afternoon he was ready TO an
swer.
Tells Five Chief Aims.
He declared:
First. That the government was in
accord that the utmost publicity should
be given 10 the peace conference, thus
replying to the Interpolation OF the
socialist deputy. Marcel Cachin, OF
last Friday. when he asked Premier
Cls,henceau to state whether secret
diplomacy would be abandoned in the
peace conference and the discussion
gwen ali pNoiaS'Ns'
Second. That the French government
has adopted the principle OF league
OF nations and is now busy working
towards it's effective rea. alton. thus
replying to the Interpolation of the
socialist, NJ. Bracke.
Third. That the government does not
desire any annexation, but reserves the
right to fix the Alsacc- Lorraine from
tiers to guard against future attack,
thus replying to NJ. Franklin Bouillon.
Fourth. That the government does
not think that the question of diplo-
matte representation of the vatican
arises at the present moment.
Fifth, That intervention in Russia
is inevitable.
Upon Russian Intervention. NJ. Pr
chon explained. reading from instruc-
lions issued by Premier Clemenceau
to the general commanding. that such
Intervention was not offensive for the
time being. but defensive. in order to
prevent the bolsheviki from invading
Ukraine, the Caucasus and western
Siberia
In the future an offensive interven-
ton might be necessary in order to de-
stroy bolshevism. Such an operation
must he carried out by Russian troops

Food Conservation Week

Hostilities have been discon-
tinued, but until\ the final peace
conference is concluded. we shall
not know our position, Regard
less of the circumstances, that
follow the armistice, and peace,
The fact remains that food con-
servation must continue.
It is estimated that by signing
lof the armistice, two hundred
million 2O0,00O,0OO people have
been added to those with whom
we must share our food. Mr..
Hoover is now in Europe ac-
quainting himself with the most
urgent food needs of the Allies
and the liberated people of Eu-
rope, aligning the forces that
are to work with us, encouraging
those whose' 'need is greatest,
holding out hope to those who
are despairing.
|. This message must be brought
to every individual in the United
States we need your help. We
need the help of every consum-
ing person in these United
States. There cannot be any
relaxation in food conservation.
Every. bit of food unwisely
bought, wastefully cooked. or
carelessly eaten is that much
taken from the allied table. We
do not ask you to use less food.
simply ask you to use less of all
food. Our army will be kept
abroad for possibly a year or
two and every one will have to
be fed the same as though hos
tilities were still going on. The
need of the allies is great, and
we must not falter in our step
to do our share towards helm
ing them. Mr.. Hoover in his
letter to the people today saws:
'The American people, in this
most critical period of their his
tory, have the opportunity to
demonstrate not only their abili-
ty to assist in establishing peace
on earth, but also their conser-
vation by self denial, to the
cause of suffering humanity"
He calls upon the people of the
United States to observe the
week of December 1st to 7th.
as FOOD CONSERVATION
Week. May we have your loyal
cooperation >tin the future, as
we have had in the past.
