Deputy Damour Protests Against
''Nationalism That May Alien

PARIS, February 17-Under the
caption Let Us Be Just to America.
Deputy Maurice Damour makes In lie
Journal a strong protest against the
nationaiism. as exasperating as II is
ridiculous. of certain of my fellow
countrymen. which If allowed to go
unchecked is likely to ALLEVIATE our
most devoted and most trusty friends
There are" he continues, French
people who keep repeating to our
friends that IL the armistice is con-
cluded on bad terms. IL the German
troops return with coiors flying, Il
their defeat is not sufficiently brought
home to the Germans. it is because
our practical, resolute realism clashes
with American idealism. They declare
that this is the same idealism which
is preventing Lenin and Trotsky and
the bolsheviki generally from being
crushed, which makes the work Of the
eminent diplomats assembled in the
DUAL o'Orsay so incoherent and which
is keeping IN the background the
questions of indemnities. PREPARATIONS
and territory.
1T is time" adds NJ Damour, to
put a stop to this babble, which is
creating a serious misunderstanding
between America and France-two
countries which have everything to
gain by a closer and closer union"
