 NJ. Dubost said:
 "Mr. President: My colleagues and myself thank you for having been so good as to accept our invitation and to give us some hours of your time which we know to be devoted to the high meditations and the important negotiations upon which the fate of the peoples depends. From your first steps on the land of France and since your entry into Paris the French peo- pie has spontaneously given their hearts to you and they perceived at once in your frank smile and in your so loyal and open physiogomy. that you, too. were spontaneously giving yourself to them.
 You are today in an old palace of France and 1t Is among these grand reminders of past times that with thoughts rejuvenated by Republican ardor, yet with patriotism, the French Senate shapes a history which already counts 15 centuries. We welcome here. MT. President. you and your ideas. Nowhere could your splendid ambition to substitute for the period ically broken equilibrium of material forces the definite award of moral forces elicit more enthusiasm than in France. and nowhere more than in the Senate since the statute of inter national peace has been first of all and for a long time prepared by some of it's most eminent members.
 "Our national problem consists, therefore, in combining our European past and actual material security with the conditions of the new order for which you have given so noble a formula because this new order will never have to lean on some force for which France will, when all Is told stand the most advanced and eX- posed sentinel. We firmly believe with you, MT. President, and allow me to add. sincere and great friend that a new world order and perhap ps a world harmony are possible. For this 1 100000 men of France have just given their lives.
 'It is with such a hope that we shall most willingly participate in the sublime cause which you have come | to undertake on the devastated soi 1 of old Europe, where hatred and dis cord still howl after the guns have become silent and where anarch! ] causes a vast part of mankind tt stagger. The task is a gigantic one |, but 1t Is worthy of your country, ac customed to great undertakings ant of ours, the ancient artisan of west ern civilization. MT. President. w, salute your great heart and your higl intelligence with a joyful hope and ; fervent exclamation"
