He opposed any relief legislating at

Extension Of financial relief Is

Tardleu Denies His Nation Has Any
imperialistio Aims.
BY Associated Press.
Paris, March 11.-Andre Tardieu,
who was a member Of Frances dele
cation In the peace conference said
rega riding President Wilson's letter
TO Senator Hitchcock.
French public opinion will be In
accord with that Of the government
that tho reproach Of imperialism
cannot apply to France. 1t Is not up
on the peace treaty that such a re-
proach can be based. The treaty was
judged and defined by President VIII
son himself, in solidarity with tho
heads of the other governments. In
the response addressed by them or
June 1s. 1919, to Count Won Book
dorff -Rantzeau. head OF the German
peace delegation.
"That was a capital document"
said NJ. Tardieu, Yho continued:
But this IL the situation: First
We asked that part OF the league OF
nations create an organized armed
force as an essential condition Of
disarmament in the different coun-
tries.-
"Our proposition was rejected
three different times.
"Second-The United States prom
Uses us their guarantee in case Of
unprovoked attack, as well by the
treaty Of Versailles as by the spe-
cial treaty between them and US. and
neither Of those treaties is ratified.
"Third-The treaty of Versailles
imposed upon the allied and asso-
ciated powers certain number Of
common military duties--occupation
OF the left bank Of the Rhine. Schles-
wig. Danzig, Mcneil. 'Allenstein.
Marienwender Upper Silesia and
Teschen. Excepting a few thousand
American on the Rhine. it is French
troops which everywhere bear that
charge alone, or nearly alone.
The treaty was to be executed by
several powers. We are executing 1t
nearly aione.
"Fourth-The negotiationss In
Paris had in view participation by
all the allied and associated powers
in the occupation Of inundated ter
ritories. Here, again. the United
States disappeared. and to protect the
populations against massacres in
Constantinople. Anatolia, Armenia
and Cilicia, 1t was again France that
was called upon.
Therefore, repeat, It Is unjust
to accuse us OF Imperialism. No one
in France protests against the con-
tinual increase Of the American navy.
Our army, like the American navy,
IL what circumstances require 1t to
be and It Is not France that created
those circumstances. 1t IL the debate
going on for months In the United
States over ratification Of the peace
treaty that created them. Every one
knows my respect for President VIII
son, but think that in his last let
ter to Senator Hitchcock he has
been unjust to France"
