FRANCE ANXIOUS
FOR AME RIGA TO

French Politicians CIamor To

Paris, oct. 1.-THE publication of
Premier Clemenceau letter to Col
e. NJ. House, urging that n meeting
of the league of nations, with presi-
dent Wilson as chairman, be held IN
Washington early next month, is re-
garded here as an appeal for speedy
ratification of the peace treaty by the
United States senate. This view is
particularly strong in American cir
Cles here.
1t is understood that representative
French politicians have suggested
emphatically to Premier Clemenceau
he ACCESSIBILITY ol seeking H. have the
Versailles settlement brought into eff
feet by Americas approval rather
than that Of either Italy or Japan.
without American participation from
the outset the French are fearful of
complications which might make en-
forcement Of the settlements extreme
ly difficult. 1t was this feeling that
led the Tiger to make public the text
of his communication TO Col. House.
American officials here feel that I
will not be necessary to summon the
league OF nations together at Wash
ington unless by that time America
has become a member Of the league
1t will be necessary of course, FOR
President Wilson, acting under ar
ticle V. of the covenant, to call n
meeting of the league council to dis
cuss questions relating to the admin
istration of the Saar Valley, which
must be settled within a fortnight
after the treaty goes into effect. Once
that specific function has been per-
formed, however, further assemblage 80

of the league can wait until the
United States has accepted or re-
jected the treaty
In this connection Col. House in
formed me that he gladly assented to
the publication of NJ. Clemenceau' s
letter when the Premier asked his
permission, Col. House added there
was no reason in his view, why the
letter should not have been made pub
lie before this.
THE league 10 ready to begin
work said Col. House: 80 much so
that, in fact, have had to use eff
forts TO prevent it functioning too
soon"
While, from the American stand
point, it would be unfortunate for the
league to get under way before
America is ready to participate,
there is obviously need of its activity
at the earliest possible moment. OF
the matters now before the peace con-
ference only the Turkish treaty could
not be more properly and probably
more efficiently handled by the league
council than by the present council
of five
1t is the firm belief of the American
peace delegation that the treaty will
be ratified and that no reservations
will be made on any part of 1t. A
highly placed official at the Hotel
Crillon, in framing his opinion haz-
arded the following representation;
Suppose the treaty is ratified
about October 90, President Wilson
could call the first meeting of the
league toward the end of November,
and every one would then be able to
judge of the real use and Importance
of the league
Questioned as to Senator Hoke
Smiths reservations, this officials
answer was:
we must not forget that three
years ago senator Smith asserted thai
the British blockade was the cause
the low price of cotton, The con-
trary was the result. The blockade
caused the price of cotton to double. I
The consensus of opinion here is TO
the effect that after Englands and
Frances example it would be unfor-
tunate II America is not the third
power to ratify the treaty,
France greets without jubiliation.
