interview with The Associated Press to-
day. AT least" he added il is as
well to face squarely all the possibilities

tarlly and had been largely divided, there
still remained, the premier pointed out

great help may be drawn by the Teu-

dent Wilson had voiced recently that
whenever France or any other free peo-

premier, each nation must be willing
to renounce its traditional aloofness and

Premier Clemeneaau warmly praised
the help the American troops had given
in winning the war for democracy, and
expressed his belief that there was not q

who regretted that he had fought on the
side of freedom" because he had found
more creature comforts In Germany than
