ON BEHALF
OF FRANCE
AND ALLIES
In Second Speech in New
York Clemenceau Again
Blamed United States
For Leaving Europe in
the Lu rch-He Went to
Boston IO-ady.

Washington, p. c., Nov. 23.--The
utterances in this country Of former
Premier Clemenceau of France came
under fire on the floor of the Senate
to-day in debate reviying many of
the issues Of the Versailles treaty fight
and covering many more recent prob
lens of international relationship.
Discussion of the mission Of the
French wartime premier was begun
BY Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
ranking Democrat of the foreign re-
lations committee and the Wilson adj
ministration leader during the treaty
,rdebate, with speech declaring that
vsClemenceau's attitude toward Ger
many had been such as to detract
somewhat from the effectiveness Of his
appeals to the American people.
while Clemenceau has not been
known as an extreme militarist as
compared with Poincare and some 9TH
II etdLteHttl, sdiu iocudipi ilittiicOck,
he has a reputation for representing
an entirely harsh policy toward Ger
many
The Nebraska senator added that his
purpose was not so much to criticize
Clemenceau but rather the policy of
the French government toward Ger
many. He said America was ionored
by the former premier's visit and OBJ
served that Clemenceau himself had
invited criticism Of his remarks.
Referring to statements of former
Prime Minister Nitti of Italy that
clemenceau's policy was characterized
by a hatred of Germany, Senator
Hitchcock continued:
$50 | deprecate somewhat the char.
acter of this messenger who has come
from France to ask the United States
to cooperate for peace. And yet Mr..
Clemenceau was mild in his attitude |
toward Germany as compared with !
the present government of France. 1t |
has been said that he lost his position
because of his too mild treatment of |
Germany, while the present attitude
of France toward Germany is the ex-
tremest of extremes"
