WILSON PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
TO PREMIER OF FRANCE
Cmsnceu Replying Pleads for Closed Inou We Accept Program of
The President Of the United States for the Conference
He Tells Delegates

To me the word on the part OF Presi-
dent Wilson, and MIR Lloyd GeoEgc in
particular, has touched me deeply.
because sec in il new strength tor
all three OF us To accomplish, with the
cooperation OF the entire conference,
the ardu0us work which is intrlstad
% us | esther from it new con-
iidcnce IN the success Of our efforts.
President Wilson has special author
ity 70 say that this is the first time in
fact that the world has ever seen
assembled together, delegation of
all the civilized nations Of the earth.
The greater the bloody catastrophe
which has devastated and ruined one
OF the richest parts of France, the
greater and more splendid must be
the reparatlon not only the material
reparatlon, the Wi gar reparatlon, If |
dare speak 81, which is due all of us.
but the higher and nobler reparation
OF the new institution which we viii try
TO establish, In order that nations NAV
at length escape from the fatal embrace
OF rllInous wars. which destroy every
thing, heap up ruins. terrorize the
populace and prevent them from go
ing freely about their work for fear
Of enemies which NAV rise I'D from
one day to the next
II is r great, splendid. and noble
ambition which has come to all Of US.
II is desirable that success should
crown our efforts. This cannot take
place unless we have all firmly fixed
and clearly determined ideas on what
we wish to do.
said in the chamber q few days
ago, and | wish 10 repeat here, that
success is not possible unless we re-
main firmly united We have come
together as friends, we must leave this
hall as friends.
That, gentlemen, is the first thought
that comes 10 me All else must be
sub0rdlnated to the necessity of a
closer and closer union among the
nations who have taken part In this
great war and to the necessity of re-
naming friends For the League of
Nations IS here. 1t is Yourself. II
rs for you 10 make it live. and tn make
1t I've we must have It really in our
hearts
As l told President Wilson a few
days ago, there Is no sacrifice that
| am not willing to make In order To
accomplish this, and | do not doubt
that you all have the same sentiment.
We will make these sacrifices. but
on the condition that we endcavor
lmpartlaIly 10 conciliate interests ap-
parently contradictory, on the higher
plane OF greater, happier, and bet
ter humanity.
That, gentlemen, is what | had to
say to you ] am touched beyond
words at the evidence of good will
and friendship which you show me.
The program of this conference has
been laid down by President Wilson.
1t Is no longer the peace of more or
less vast territory, no longer the peace
OF continents; it is the peace of ma
tlons that is to be made. This pro-
gram is sufficient in itself. There is
no superfuous word Let us try to
act swiftly and well.
