Paris.-Stephen Pinchon, the for

"You asked me In what spirit the
French government is preparing to
participate In the peace negotiations.
1t is agreeable and easy for me to re-
ply that the ideal which sustained us
during the war is guiding us effectively
on the eve of peace. This defines our
policy.
1--WE have been attacked. We want
security. We have been despoiled;
we demand restitution. We have been
devastated; we want reparation.
''But that which we ask for ourselves
we demand for all, and hence are
closely in accord with President Will
son. We intend that peace, in erasing
the effects of the German crime, shall
bring to all peoples the certainty that
this crime will not be renewed"
NJ Pinchon, while apparently greatly
fatigued from the 1S-hour session in
the chamber Of deputies, made these
statements with great energy.

tinued, "the world must be constituted
