France Stirred by
Harvey's Address
On u. S. Alliance
Paris Paper Warns 1t Is Not
in Interests of Washington
to Turn Back Completely
From Affairs of Europe
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Nov. 4.-The declaration of
Ambassador George Harvey in Liver
pool that all talk Of an alliance be-
tween the United States and the Allies
was futile, has made painful impress
sion here. "Le Temps" semi i-offi cial
newspaper, seems to strike the chord
of Frances reaction when it says: ut
is impossible to pass over this declara-
ton. 1t was not only made by an am
bassador, but by Americas representa-
tive on the Supreme Council, who
chose a moment when Premier BRAND
and A. ]. Balfour were on their way
to Washington"
Specializing on whether Colonel Har-
vey was speakingin the name Of the
Washington government, thereby Civ
ing Europe a warning from America, or
talking for himself, hoping to influence
Americas foreign policy, "Le Temps
suggests that the second possibility is
more reasonable to believe The news
paper recalled that Ambassador Har-
vey also made bit Of noise" in Lon
don on May 10, when he protested
against the idea tina. America entered
the war for the good Of humanity and
declared that soldiers were sent to Eu-
rope merely to save the United States.
The paper recalls the protest which the
American Legion convention in Kansas
City made to this remark, and then
says of yesterdays speech:
Ambassador Harvey's declaration
leads one to think that France asks
the United States to make certain
political and military arrangements
Let US hasten to say that this is not the
case. The French government, even
the day after the armistice, did mot
speak Of alliances. 1t was Woodrow
Wilson who, after talking with Lloyd
George, suggested making a pact with
France to protect her against future
German aggression. This offer was not
made gratuitously. In return France
was to give up certain of her claims.
France did not suggest this convention
and is still less thinking of putting it
ON the carpet again after the political
events of the last two years in the
United States"
The newspaper, however, sounds a
warning that it is not the interest Of
the United States to turn back COM
pletely from European affairs.
"The last war showed clearly that a
European crisis carries inevitable con-
sequences and even sacrifices for the
United States," it adds "When one is
certain to be struck by the tempest, it
is wise to do ones utmost to help pre-
vent storms"
