French Citizens Clearly Have the
Right to Talk Over Questions

Marion. O.. Oct. 18 Replying to
an inquiry from President Wilson,
Senator Harding wrote the White

The Senator declared that in his
reference to the subject in a speech
at Greencastle, Ind, recen,y he only
had sought to convey the thought that
there had come to him those who
spoke sentiment which they repre-
sented TO be very manifest among the
French people He added that his
words could not be construed to say
that the French government has sent
anybody TO me
Referring to Mr.. Wilson's sugges.
