swapping at Wilson, have become
suddenly cautious.
France Much Dissatisfied
All these things constitute a sign
that France has become alarmed and
dissatisfied over the policy tending
to isolate her in the Peace Confer
ence and, also, over the weakening Of
the French Government. A new gov
eminent in France always results
suddenly, like the combination of
elements in a chemical experiment.
This combination seems TO be APP
preaching, but may not take place
as soon as the prophets expect.
The real weakness of the French
situation is that the Radicals have
no strong figure about whom they
can unite. Any successor to Clemen-
ceau, short of a radical successor, is
likely to be short-lived, for the
problems of the country, economic
and social, are too tremendous not to
be met frankly. The real weakness
Of the present government is that it
was created for an emergency. A
new emergency, totally different, ex-
lists now and the present government
is not adapted to it.
Premier Clemenceau has per-
formed great service to France and
the nation is profoundly grateful.
But an economic and social crisis eX-
lists and Clemenceau has neither eco
nomic nor social sense. He is a first
class fighting man, who summed up
himself in the epigram, 81 make

indicated an isolation which has
steadily increased.
England and America, working in
close cooperation, and supported by
Italy, have dominated the confer
ence. On virtually all points
France has been compelled to yield
more than others in the compromises
which have been effected, until final
ly her biggest loss has taken a large
part of the control of the armistice
situation from the hands of the mill
tary and, therefore, from Foch, and
placed it in the hands of the supreme
economic council. ,
In this process, France has yielded,
first on the question of feeding Ger
many and later OH the question Of
the taking of German passenger
ships by America and Great Britain
and, finally, on the latest armistice
question, admitting certain raw
materials into Germany. These con-
cessions were not granted in such a
way as to draw America, England
and France closer together.
On the contrary, the situation
reached a climax, when the Amer
/ leans caused a report to be cir
culated that they were considering
withdrawal OF the conference from
the French capital. The incidc 1t
marked the extreme point in French
isolation and led to the situation OF
France being discussed in French
papers.
There has been an outbreak of
criticism of the French Government
in the French press since that one
evidence of weakening Of the French
Government. Up until a fortnight
ago, there appeared in the French
press little criticism of the French
Government or anything indicating
that the French policy tended toward
the isolation of France.
Press Openly Criticizes
The French press now is discussing
the situation frankly and. in add.
ton, the economic policy of the
French Government is being sub.
iected to criticism. For example
lie Populaire, the most vigorous Of
the Socialist newspapers, declares
that France must chose between
reputation Of the debt and the con.
fscation of private fortunes. La
Lanterne criticizes the French ex,
, clusionist policy, taking it's text
: from the Ford case.
lie Journal prints an article undel
the heading, LET Us Be Just t

exclusionist policy, asks, "Would i
not be criminal to prefer to the

tween France and America some sort
of political adventure-one doesn't
know what-contrary TO the pro
found sentiment and interest of the
