TELLS SORROWS OF EUROPE
Aged Statesman Keeps Busy
from Morning Until Night
on First Day of His Visit
By HARRY L. ROGERS.
International News Service,

NEW YORK, Nov. 90
America was not prepared for
the emergency of 1917 and
she is likewise unprepared for
the emergency which now con-
fronts the civilized world,
Georges Clemenceau, eighty
one-year-old former Premier
of France, told a company of
distinguished newspaper pub
fishers at a reception here to-
day.
"The Tiger" declared the United
States has not completed the task II
set out to accomplish when it en-
tered the war whole-heartedly on
the side of the allies. That task
was dropped with the closing of the
Paris peace conference, he said, and
the result is that Europe today is
in a separate situation.
The aged French statesman dis
claimed any desire to interfere in
matters which concern only the
American people.
WOES OF EUROPE.
II know little or nothing Of mat
ters over here" he said. but l
believe / am qualified to speak
about Europe. I can tell you that
things there are getting desperate"
Great Britain has drifted away
from the other allies, Clemenceau
declared, and is now looking after
her private interests. Perhaps as a
result of this lack of solidarity, the
enemies of France are getting
stronger, he said. Nevertheless. II
America, France and England will
honestly take cognizance Of the
situation and earnestly strive to
carry out the aims which they pro-
fessed in 1917, they "can get as
closely together as our enemies
Germany. soviet Russia and Turkey,
now are"
Clemenceau referred briefly to the
debt of more than $4,000, ,o00, 900
