welcomed the American president and
his ideas. NJ. Dubost said;
''AIr. President: My colleagues and
myself thank you for having been so
good as to accept our invitation and to
give us some hours of your time,
which we know to be devoted to the
high medltations and the important
negotiations upon which the fate of
the peoples depends. From your first
steps on the land of France and since
your entry into Paris the French peO-
pies have spontaneously given their
hearts to you, and they perceived at
once in your frank smile and in your
loyal and open physiognomy that you,
too, were spontaneously giving your
self to them.
Lauds Wilson Idead.
you are today in an old palace Of
France, and it Is among these grand
reminders of past times, with thoughts
rejuvenated by republican ardor, yet
with patriotism, that the French sen
ate shapes a history which already
counts fifteen centuries. We welcome
here, Mr.. President, you and your
ideas. Nowhere could your splendid
ambition to substitute for the periOdi-
cally broken equilibrium of material
forces the definite award of moral
forces elicit more enthusiasm than in
France, ana nowhere more than in the
senate, since the statute of interna-
tional peace has been first of all and
for a long time prepared by some of
its most eminent members.
"Our national problems consist.
therefore, in combining our European
past and our actual material security
with the conditions of the new order
for which you have given so noble a
formula, because this new order will
ever have to lean on some force for
which France will, when all is told
stand the most advanced and exposed
sentinel.
eve firmly believe with you, Mr.
President, and allow me to add. sla.
cere and great friend. that a new
world order and perhaps world har-
mony are possible. For this l 100000
men of France have just given their
lives.
at is with such hope that we shall
most Willingly participate in the sub
lime cause which you have come to
undertake on the devastated soil Of
old Europe, where hatred and discord
still howl after The guns have become
silent and where anarchy causes a
vast part of mankind to stagger. The
task is a gigantic one, but it is worthy
Of your country, accustomed TO great
undertakings and Of ours, the ancient
artisan of western civilization.
"AIr. President, we salute your great
heart and your high intelligence with
Il joyful hope and a fervent acclama-
ton"
Presidents Reply.
