Paris, Sept. 11.-Georges Clemen-
ceau is going to the United States to
tell Americans they should stand
shoulder to shoulder with France
and England to finish the task of
establishing permanent world peace.
The old tiger of France, who has
been in virtual seclusion since his
retirement from politics two years
ago, made this declaration in a tele-
gram to the United Press. He will
make four speeches in America this
year, according to present plans.
Clemenceau's telegram follows:
Il consider that America magni-
ficently accomplished all her duties
of solidarity during the war but in
peace which is the goal of war, the
duties of solidarity Of each party are
not exhausted by an arrangement OF
conditions whereby one of the parties
may stand aside. | believe that il
the solidarity had been maintained
between America, France. and Eng
land, then the present crisis would
have been avoided. 1t cannot be
solved without a resumption of that
solidarity | am disposed to go and
express myself publicly on this in
America before the end of the year.

FRENCH TIGER DECIDES TO EMERGE
FROM LONG RETIREMENT AND PAY
VISIT TO AMERICA; HAS MESSAGE

States was elected by the statement
of Rudyard Kipling, famous English
poet, severely criticising America for
entering the war too late and quit
ting too early"
Clemenceau makes plain he does
not agree with Kipling, but believes
the United States should resume its
par partnership with Great Britain
and France for the purpose of put
ting world peace on stable founda-
tion.
Clemenceau's decision to emerge
from retirement and go on his per-
sonal mission to America was made
as a result Of recent European de-
velopments which made collapse OF
some nations and possible resumption
of hostilities over the question OF
reparations seem imminent. Until re-
Gently, he has reiterated to his
friends the statement that he had
abandoned world politics forever.
America wants my opinion and III

interview given the Petit Parisien.

intend to make a triumphal journey
but useful journey. am going tc
make four speeches, that's all. I'm
not going as member Of mission
and won't accept invitations to ban
quests and receptions. I'll speak il
