London Dec. 31.-Morning news
apars give great and equal prom
aence to the speech of Premier
gemenceau before the French cham
er of deputies and President Wilson'S 8
ddress at Manchester. BY their
eailines and by placing in juxta-
esition the striking passages and by
hsr comment. the newspapers reveal
certain uneasiness in consequence of
he apparent divergence between NJ.
slenenceau and Mr.. Wilson.
There is an obvious endeavor, how
ger, to avoid anything suggesting the
existence of a substantial disagree
nent or promoting anxiety regarding
he conference. Their desire seems
mainly 10 show that NJ. Clemenceau's
standpoint is not so remote from Mr..
Wilson's as might apear at first sight
md that any differences that exist
lEght to be arranged with pains and
AIience. NJ. Clemenceau's version of
Ar Wilson'S comment on the British
aeet receives much prominence.
