Canada for many years will rest the
great burden Of feeding the world.
With free interchange Of travel. diff
culties of crossing and recrossing re-
moved, Canada may look for speedy
resumption of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which
prevailed previous to the war. Dur
ing the war period there was a dread
of something, no one seemed to know
what. If the American went to Can
ada he might be conscripted, put In
prison, or in his attempt to cross
the border he would meet with innu-
merable difficulties, most of which.
of course, was untrue. These I'M
truths were circulated for a purpose
by an element, which, it was discov-
cred, had an interest in fomenting
and creating trouble and distrust be-
tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but of an unfriendly character. The
draft law of the United States, adopt
ed for the carrying out of the high
purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Cam
ada during the period Of the war. The
citizen army of the United States
was quickly modified, and contained
large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Can
ada.
That is all over now. There are
no real or imaginary restrictions;
there is no draft law to interfere.
On the contrary, there is an I'M
fashionable depth of good feeling and
the long-existing friendship is strong
er than ever. This has been brought
about by the knowledge Of what has
been done in the recent great strug-
gle, each vying with tae other in
giving credit for what was accom-
plished. In thought and feeling, in
language, in aims in life, in work, In
desire to build up new world, there
has been bred kinship which is as
indissoluble as time itself.-Adver-
tisement.

DEFEAT IS EXPLAINED
Noted German Editor Says
Foch's Strategy Superior.
Considers French Marshal Far
Greater Military Leader Than
Ludendorff.

Paris, Dec. 31.-In an interview with
the Temps correspondent, Macmillan
Harden, the German editor. declared
that Germany was beaten by the SUI
perior strategy of the French generals.
Marshal Foch, he declares, was a
military leader far above Ludendorff,
who had never been victorious on the
western front. AS for Won linden
burg, the editor characterized him as
little more than figurehead.
He considered that the former en-
peror was not directly responsible for
the war, but that he was great Gull
prit, for he should have been able to
avoid the catastrophe, but had not the
courage to say mo-" at the last mo-
ment.
Concerning the present situation in
Germany, Harden believed it very
serious. In his opinion an industrial
crisis was imminent. He feared the
extension Of the bolshevist movement
in Germany, if that country were
obliged to make too great sacrifices.

French Premier Says Warships

Her to Continue War.
OF THE SEAS
M. Clemenceau In Discussing the
Question for the First Time Brings
Out Fact That He Is for
British Policy.

Paris, Dec 31.-The declarations OF
Premier Clemenceau and Foreign
Minister Pichon in the chamber of
deputies gave rallying point in the
form of the first official statement on
the plans of the French government
since the American delegates arrived.
The statements disclosed that
France had determined upon it's line
Of action of practically all the ques-
tons involved, including society of
nations, on which M. Pichon said the
details were now being formulated.
British and France Agreed.
Premier Clemenceau's statement on
the freedom of the seas was the first
announcement from high authorita-
tive source. This was accepted as
showing that the British and French
viewpoints were in accord.
M. Clemenceau's reference to his
talks with President Wilson indicated
that they had tended to bring out the
significance of the French premier's
previous conversations with the Brit
ish prime minister regarding the ac-
ton of the British fleet during the
war, without which he admitted,
France could not have continued the
war, as well as his favorable attitude
toward the future British fleet.
American Stand Uncertain.
The sentiment prevails in confer.
ence circles here that the American
attitude will not become definite until
further knowledge is obtained con.
corning the conversations between
President Wilson, Premier Clemenceau
and Premier Lloyd George.
M. Clemenceau's Overwhelming ma
jority on the vote of confidence in the
Chamber of Deputies makes him a
commanding figure in France, similar
to that of Lloyd George as result of
the British elections. 1t is expected
that the names of the French peace
delegates will soon be announced as a
result of the strong support given to
the cabinet.
To Start Home Feb. 10.
President Wilson plans to spend
New Years day in Paris and leave
for Italy New Years night. He will
return from Italy about JAN 10, when
the inter-Allied conference will as
semble.
1t is generally understood now that
the President will remain in Europe
for about a month after his return
from Italy and that he will take pas
sage for America about Feb. 10.
