What is occurring now, as author
tiles here see it, is tremendous ef-
fort on the part. Of the present
French government to find a way out
of these difficulties without losing it's
prestige. The logical solution for the
clemenceau government as seen here
is to shift the blame to the other al
lies and to put up a hard fight for a
heavy indemnity even though it is
known to be hopeless.
The French leaders will then be
able to face their people with a rec
ord which will show that they had
held out to the end for making Ger
many pay the French war cost. They
can then point out that the other
allies could not be brought to this
position. And this propaganda al
