America has stopped entirely in the
Paris papers, aud the French Govern
mcnt was sustained by a large vote
Of confidence in the chamber of
deputies.
When the fact that France had been
satisfied respecting her future safety
was made known by the American dele
gation, 1t was pointed out that Clemen-
ceau would use this to help himself in
the French political situation the same
way that Lloyd George has used the
fact OF Americas entrance into Euro
pean affairs to silence criticism of him
self at home.
Lloyd Georges speech was virtually
an attack on Lord Northcliffe as per
son who would sacrifice the future Of
British American relations for personal
political gain. Lloyd George turned the
summoning of the George Washington
to Brest to his own political advantage
at home just as he turned criticism by
Northcliffe and other conservatives to
his own advantage at Paris.
Apparently the Lloyd George and
Clemenceau governments are safe until
the peace treaty is made, after which
purely domestic issues are likely to dl-
vide the two countries into new align
ments.
The attack on Clemenceau is proceed

he failed to get the utmost damages
