PARIS, Nov. 10.--Premier Poincare
afiirmed in speech In the Chamber II
Deputies this afternoon that hereafter
Frances NearEass policy would be in
close agreement with our "aIiies.' He
suggested that the work at the Lau-
same peace conference would be easy
because of the attitude Of firm support
tor the Entente on the part Of Pre-
lnier Bonar Law and Lord Curzon, the
British Foreign Minister.
On the eve of Georges Clemenceau's
departure for the United States the
Premier took occasion to refer 20 him
as this great patriot" and likewise de-
tended Marshals Foch, Franchez and
Desperey against the charges that they
were mixing in politics through criti-
cism of Clemenceau. Speaking on be-
half Of Marshal Foch, the Premier said
that the interview in which the mar
shal was quoted as saying that Clemen-
ceau had better, stay home was inexact.
interrupted ~ question as to
whether Foch had not proposed that
the negotiatcrs of the Versailles Treaty
be tried before high court of JUS
tice, the Premier's defense Of the
marshal threatened Co precipitets an
uproar. Many members jumped on
their seats. saying that it would be
marshal into the debate on the eve
Of the fourth anniversary of the armis-
tice.
After speaking at length Of the an
eer1al policy Of the government, Poir-
care recounted every phase Of the Near
East situation. He defended the with
drawal of the French troops from
Chanak,. which, he said, was done on
the advice of the highest military au-
thorities, but remarked that "our
troops remain in Gallipoli and will
remain there In support of our allies"
Poincare applauded the spirit Of
Lord Curzon's negotiations with the
Allies in Paris. which, hessaid, mads
possible the French efforts to main
tain peace in the Near East. II was
a. great success to bring the fighting
Of the Turks and the Greeks to an
end, but he added significantly that an
early meeting of the Lausanne confer
ence was necessary.
"Ou policy in the Near East ise very
clear" said the Premier, eve have
the greatest interest in Asia Minor
with our allies. We were worried to
prevent war, and we were fortunate
enough to do it and at the same time
strengthen our alliance. France will
never taken the responsibility Of
weakening an alliance which has not
only proved valuable for France and
England but for Europe and hu.
manity."
Indications tonight are that while
Ismet Pasha with one section Of the
Turkish delegation will arrive at Lau.
same on Sunday night, they will no,
find the Allies ready to begin serious
work on Monday. The Allied delegates
will be ready to open the confer.
ence as scheduled, but Paris learns
that Lord Curzon is iirm against going
to Lausanne until preliminary con
ference has co-ordinated the Allied
program.
Premier Poincare, in the debate in
the Chamber this afternoon, said that
not only Russia, but Bulgaria should
be allowed to participate in the CON
danelies.
