On setting foot on the soil of
the great American republic my first
thought goes back to those VINO gen.
erously came to mingle their blood
with that OF the soldiers of France,
back to those fighters whom the
United States sent over to us as the
most precious thing they had. back to
those magnificent high souled youths
with heroic hearts who fell for Right
and for Liberty, with a smile to the
land that has piously entombed them.
To their families France now sends
me as a near relative. l am coming
to assure them that the recollection
of those heroes is deeply craven in
the heart of every Frenchman.
For centuries France has been the
ground Of the great struggles for
civilization. The last war has shown
>that she is able to uphold her ideal to
the utmost limit of sacrifice. She
does not forget any of the nations who
helped her in safeguarding. her inde-
pendence and saving the liberty of
the world. She knows in particular
what she owes to the fraternal de-
votion. to the mighty help which
America brought her. The two
countries are henceforth united in
the same glory. They feel that this
very union provides the best guar
antee for the peace of the world and
that the main interests of mankind
cannot but profit by their close and
intimate cooperation.
The great American democracy
we'll knows what France is. You
have known us for long time. But
during the last war your sons have
lived among us. sharing the same
dangers and the same hopes. Such
unforgetable, hours create an ever
lasting intimacy. These two coun-
tries of ours ere lands of liberty.

each other, point out the close re-
lationship which exists between the
two peoples. the aspirations they
have in common. the likeness OF
their role, their equal love of JUS
tice, their similar will on the path
Of progress.
If. as Prime Minister of the French
Republic, / did not hesitate, In spite
of present difficulties. to leave my
country, it was. first. because I
wanted to bring over here the tribute
Of her gratitude and at the sa,nc
time to show that the foremost
thought of every F'renchman is
peace. We know too well. alas! what
war means and the toll 1t takes
not to yearn for peace with heart
and soul So as soon as President
Harding sent out his noble call my
country answered present" And
here l am to demonstrate the earnest
good will of France by every means
In my power.
Provided she has nothing to fear
for her security. which remains
one of the most solid guarantees OF
the peace of the world, she is ready
to join In every endeavor to avert
new conflicts. Just because she had
to suffer from the war more than
an other nation she Is ready to ap-
roach the problems of the conference
in the most favorable spirit for the
maintenance of peace.
Between France and the United
States of America there Is no room
for any difference. however slight.
Both our countries only endeavor to
lead the men and peoples of good
will to peaceful and fruitful work and
to reduce more and more the risks
of war.
To-day the world which Is in such
need of safety and rest wants not
only soothing words but realities.
/ earnestly trust that the Wash
ington meeting will give us an OPP
portunity in this respect. France
and America, yesterday united on the
battlefields, will thus continue to
play their beneficent part in deriving
from their common victory such re-
suits as will conform with the ideal
ism that has ever animated them.

Publicity Advocates Refrain.

Congressional critics, who for the
time being are agitated over the pros
poets for publicity, have wisely decided
to refrain from issuing further admoni-
tions until Secretary Hughes, as the
head of the American delegation, has
officially made known to the conference
his plans for keeping the people of this
and other countries advised of the
methods to be employed for doing so.
The pacifst element was vociferously
represented in the army Of propa-
gandists functioning In the hotel cor
ridors to-day. Naturally they are de-
manding the destruction of every device
savoring of militarism. Some of them
have revived the old charge that the
armor plate manufacturers and steel
companies have secretly perfected plans
to prevent any curtailment Of arma-
ments. for which absurd assertion there
is of course not the slightest shadow of
substance. The fact Is that popular
sentiment throughout the world. regard
less of professional and other reasons,
is all the other way.

Call Money Easy.

The minimum rates for call money yes-
terday were per cent. against United

change the renewal rate was 8 per cent.
and the low and final 4 " per cent. but
over the counter rates against stocks
went down to per cent. with large
amounts unlendable at any rate. The
situation is caused by lack Of demand
for call loans at time when the supply
has steadily increased.
