sist in Developing New
Department.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 25.-Premier Poin-
care and other notable Frenchmen are
to assist in developing a new French
department in the American Library
in Paris made possible by gift from
an anonymous donor to DR.. w. Dawson
Johnson, the librarian.
The new department will be under
the direction Of Prince De Leca Co
lonna, and will not be SO much for
the purpose of collecting French lit
erature. except insofar as it relates
to the United States, as to establish
the closest relations between the
American Library and the French
government institutions and associa-
tions throughout France and other
libraries, both in Paris and the prov
inces.
Prince De Leca Colonna will have
the help of M. Poincare in building
up the department. The library,
which was founded by the American
Library Association after the war,
with books supplied to the American
Army, now has upward of 10000
standard works 1t has outgrown Its
original quarters in the Rue de
pElysee and must find a place where
more modern facilities can be in

PROHIBITION IN AMERICA
DEEMED JOKE IN BRITAIN
London Times. However. Sees
disastrous Effect on English
Owned Breweries in U. S.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associate Press
LONDON, November 2o.-Prohibitior
in America is usually more joked
about by Englishmen than treated as
reality. but occasionally a more
serious note is sounded, as when the
Times. in it's financial columns, COM
mented on the disastrous effect of pro-
hibition to British breweries in
the United States.
The article said their difficulties had
multiplied under prohibition: they
had attempted to maintain their earn
ings by the manufacture of temper
ance drinks. but had met with little
success, and in the case of a Denver
concern the directors tried additional
sources of income. such as the manu-
facture of ice cream. Nevertheless
this latter concerns debit balance
continued to increase. and according
to the Times, the accounts for the
year showed a 100000 debit.
With the November elections in the
United States. the article added. hope
was revived in the breasts of the
brewery shareholders, growing out of
a report received from Denver that it
was anticipated as a consequence of
the election there would be a return
of beer very shortly.

BY ANDRE TARDlEl.

Former French High COmmlssioner to
the United states.
Special Gable Dispatch to The star
PARIS, November 25.-Perhaps
Clemenceau's trip will mark a new
date in the history of Franco Amer
lean relations. l hope so. 1t would
be Il great victory over the old-style
diplomatic methods.
We realize here that the United
States is listening to Clemenceau as
it never before listened to French
man. First. Of course, he speaksyour
language. This is worth mentioning.
because one of the greatest COM
plants against him here after Ner-
sailles was what finished Clemenceau
was that he spoke English
Eut besides the iuestimable advan-
tage of thorough knowledge of the
language is that he is able concretely
TO analyze the points of difference be-
tween the two countries. BY his very
presence he INDIANS the flood of com
mon memories between France and
America. Why deny that the war is
as far away with you as it is with US?
l tlilik tndl only III belS luHl anu
this because of the lengthy German
occupation-is the war present in the
minds of the people. Your people
tried to forget it as soon as possible.
Ours preferred not to think about 1t.
considering the sterile policy Of the
last three years.
The result everywhere is the dis
appearance Of the old common feel
ing. of the hand-on- shoulder attitude
of five years ago. But that spirit
must revive in the presence of
Frances grand old man. who has no
official mission, which is an advan-
tage.
Even during the war. when mutual
confidence was at its height. | used
to think that our representatives were
hampered by their official positions
when in America. ! often wondered
whether my audiences did not regard
my statements of the needs of France
as mere official eXagEeration.
Nothing like that can hamper
Clemenceau. who has had ingratitude
heaped upon him by our own poll
ticians. He is free from all official
ties. d simple citizen talking toward
citizens. This complete freedom of
movement permits Clemenceau to say
things to you which nobody else
would dare. He began this in his
first speech
and pay compliments. but we have
had TOO much of that. and stern
measures and plain truth are needed
to restore confidence. You may not
approve of all he says. but you will
at least know what he is talking
about.
In his retirement Clemenceau heard
and understood the true voice OF
France better than any one else.
Finally his visit has a moveme mt
of audacIty. which counts for much
in the United States. This eighty
two-year-old man. who dominates his
country'S history. perhaps that of the
world. and goes alone to do his duty
as he sees it. has 4 certain calm maj
eSty which every American will APP
preciate. Therefore we have full con-
fidence in his success.
I haven't taught you anything in
telling you why. but as l love Glenn
enceau above all others, and love
America. it has been pleasure to
tell you.

EXODUS INTO j. s.
CANADIAN PROBLEM
$4,000 Native-Born Said to
Have Left Dominion With
in Five Months.
Special Dispatch TO The Star,

Special bIspatch 10 i he Star.
OTTAWA, November 2J-The state
ment that for the past five months
at least 10000 native-born Canadians
each month. have been crossing the
line to the United States is not dis
puted and is causing Canadian Off
cials some anxiety. 1t also explains
why Canadas census does not make
the showing it should make.
The conditions are by no means
new. but are accentuated at 4 time
when the department of immigration
and colonization is straiuing every
nerve to get thousands of desira BILE
settlers from Europe. for the provinces S
of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The
problem seems more one of stopping
the exodus of young Canadians to
American cities-from which few of
them return-than of getting new
settlers. The exodus seems especially
marked as regards Canadians going
to New England points and to the
larger American cities.
Minister Stewart Worried.
The Star understands that Charles
Stewart. minister of immigration and
colonization. is giving it special at
tention. There is plenty of work in
Canada. but the lure of high wages
from American firms. and the high
standing that Canadian workmen
seem to have in American cities
draw many from this country
Several circumstances, it is said,
are contributing to keep up the move
immigration law. passed a few years
ago, places rigid restriction upon
the landing of immigrants from over
seas in the republic. A definite fig
ure is fixed as the quota of persons
of each nationality to be received
each month That quota cannot be
exceeded The restriction. however,
is not applicable to Canadians enter
ing the United States. II has had
the effect, it is said of preventing
congestion of the labor market in
the United States. of sustaining the
demand for labor and keeping up
wages to rates which attract Cana
ary.
Big Wages in Chicago.
Plasterers in Chicago, it has been
stated, receive SO an hour and a
bonus of $40 a day and insist upon
working on Saturdays and Sundays
at double rates of pay.
The Canadian department of immi-
grafton does not keep records Of the
movement of people out of the coun-
Try. oIHC1dlS Sldle, HoNSPeI, tHitt tHe
records of the United States govern
ment indicate that nativezborn Cana
dians emigrated from the eastern
provinces to the United States during
the first fve months of the present
year at the rate of 10000 a month.
1t has, furthermore. been alleged that
disappointment at the prices realized
for this years grain crop has caused
some farmers to move from western
Canada. These statements have led
to study of the situation by the
minister of immigration and the of
ficers of his department.
