WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23- The utterances of Clenenceau in this country again came under fire in the senate yesterday, in the course of a debate in which many of the issues of the Versailles treaty were revived, covering recent pro blens of international relations.

The senator said, however, that he criticised the French policy rather than Clemen- ceau, and pointed out that the nation is honored by the Tigers visit.
 After praising Clemenceau per sonally, Hitchcock concluded: 'T would like to have Clemeneeau, in his nex: speech. justify putting negro Senegalese troops among the whites, if 1t can be justified"
 Senator Borah declared that the outstanding feature of the Tigers first speech in America was to ac- cuse America of dishonor. That statement" the senator pointed out ''is as unfounded as it is ungrate- full"
