Clemenceau Seeks
To oEnlightenU.S.
Says Paris Press
Considers America Flooded
With Propaganda and
Aims to Present Case of
France Directly to People

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE newspapers to-
day comment at length on the recent
interview given by Premier Clemen-
ceau to The Associated Press.
"In the same way as President Will
son was speaking directly to the peo-
pie about their governments" says "Le
Pays" "it is to the American nation,
in full agreement with his grand ally
that M. Clemenceau desired to speak
He wanted that nation, which is inun-
dated by enemy propaganda, to know
in a direct manner in what state this
war of destruction and plunder had
left victorious France"
The "Petite Republique" says:
"The interview given by NJ. Clemen.
ceau to the American journalist places
up face to face with formidable after.
war economic problems, and from the
very outset one question arises
namely, that of commercial relations
between nations and of commercial
treaties and tariffs. This question not
only concerns relations between victor
and vanquished, not only is between
the adversaries, but also between
France and her allies. The debates
will begin, and it is essential that they
be complete and public.
"Our politicians should not forget
that France for some time to come
will need to erect barriers around
some of her renascent industries until
their reconstruction has been achieved
and in this case it is still matter of
judgment and q task in which our
statesmen will be burdened with re-
sponsibilities for the future"

Daniel Renault, which is headed, THE

Financial Problems
Now Being Considered

Meetings are going on to-day, as they
have almost continuously during the
last few days, between men who have
come to Paris at the call Of President
Wilson and the premiers to deal with
great financial problems arising out
Of the war. Every delegation admits
the gravity of the problems presented
and the absolute necessity for their
settlement if the world is to be saved
from universal bankruptcy.
In no place is it regarded as more
evident that there must be the fullest
and most cordial cooperation between
the nations now represented at the
conference than in the effort to restore
the stability Of currency, reduce prices
to a reasonable level, get rid Of su-
perfuous issues of war paper, prevent
further excessive fluctuations of ex-
change and regulate the rates of in
terest on and the amount of bonds to
be issued.
Already initial steps have been taken
to commit the peace conference to the
adoption of great international pool
ing system of debts, which shall in
ciude all neutral nations, whether they
wish to or not. This will meet with
the most determined resistance from
the American delegates, who feel that
America did her full share in aiding
the Allies by furnishing troops and
almost unlimited supplies of money
and material. They are understood to
be quite willing to rid France of the
nightmare Of German power in extend
ing further credit to permit France to
rehabilitatc her industries and enable
her, and Belgium as we'll, to hold her
own in the worlds markets, but they
thoroughly appreciate the fact that it is
beyond their power to commit their
country TO participate in any monetary
credit system with European powers.

deep and bitter discomfort" he would
have demanded what kind of nations
and what kind of a peace.
1T has been said that the proposed
league must be a league of free ma
tions," Senator France said, "but
freedom is not enough. Freedom must
be organized. There can be no inter-
national compact between demoeracies
gelatlnous, unorganized, disorderly and
unlntelligent. International agreement
must be between responsible and re-
sponsive republics.
LaWless and bureaucratic government
must end. The liberals who once in
cllned to government ownership have
now begun to see it's deadly menace. A
short and tragic experience has dem
onstrated how bureaucracy may op-
press and the changeless fact that more
power leaves less reserved in the SOW
erelgn people for the protection of their
rights.
Return of Railroads Urged
"The railroads must be returned as
soon as possible to the people, to be
operated under Federal regulation.
There must be an immediate reerec-
tlon of those two indispensable pillars
of free vernment-freedom of speech
and freedom Of the press-without

most reactionary Administration on
the cables, the telegraph and tele-
phone systems, the myriad cleaning,
swinging wires of which, like the ten
uous web of fibres within the brain of
man, make possible that communica-
tlon and comparison of thought and
ideas which compose the public mind,
the all but infallible conclusions of
which, when it's processes are undis-
turbed, are wise beyond the wisdom
of any man and the nearest approach,
in this sphere of many limitations, to
the absolute reason and wisdom of the
Deity.

business and ideals and put ideals and

MI. Wilson is decidedly a lucky

the "Gaulois." ale had in his brain of
philosopher and apostle conceived GER
tain plan. 1t was in 1915. He was of
the opinion that the war, into which
his conscience had not yet drawn him,
would produce no complete victor and
no wholly vanquished. In consequence
OF this he had built up a whole series
of propositions which he now dislikes
to abandon.
But there has been a vanqushed

whom is the United States. Germany
had to ask for an armistice 1t is re-

difficulties would have been much easier.

belligerents could have been included
But if Mr.. Wilson persists in his
original plan, of which no thinking
being can deny the generosity, we de-
sire that he should remember the neces-
slty of certain guarantees which were
not excluded from his original plan,
and we doubt if the creation of an in
ternational police force would be suf
fcient to guarantee us the security to
which we are entitled"
NJ. Meyers contention is that France
should have defensive frontier as we'll

Leon Bourgeois, French delegate,
who introduced the amendment for an
international military force in the
league of nations project, had pro-
longcd conference last night with
Oscar Straus, former American Ambas-
sador to Turkey who is chairman of
the delegation of the League to En-
force Peace, at the peace conference.
Mr. Straus said this morning:
II am satisfied that all differences
will be adjusted and full agreement
reached on the draft of the league"
The drafting committee is at work
in the rooms Of Lord Robert Cecil,
seeking to reconcile various difference
and prepare the draft for the final test.

Commons Member Sees
Danger in Settlement
OF League Before Peace

LONDON, Feb 1.-THE view that
the terms of peace with Germany
should be settled before the organiza-
tion of society of nations is dealt
with was expressed in the Eouse of
Commons this afternoon by Horatio w.
Bottomley
The speaker declared that the gov
ernmcnt would lose large part of it's
majority If it brought to the House
the draft Of peace treaty which had
to be accepted or rejected without al
teration. The preliminary treaty, he
said, should be inflated and then sub
mitted to the peoples of each country.
Mr.. Bottonley said he was not sure
that If that were done President Will
son would find that he spoke with such
absolute authority for the United
States. He said he supposed that in
any case President Wilson on his re-
turn to America would find American
idealism taking a very practical form
in securing food contracts throughout
the world, and "scooping the pool while
we are talking about league of ma
tions."
