REFUSAL OF Clemenceau to run
for election as president of
France may be a little thing, but
it may show a little change of
the wind in France. The now for

the race when he found that he

parliament. This is what denotes
the change of wind.
In 1916 q good part of the lib
eral element of France was for
making peace on the basis of
things as they stood in 1914.
Clemenceau threw his strength
with the conservatives to head
off suchEa peace, and with the
failure to make a peace the lib
