UNITED STATES SENA TORS DENOUNCE
 CLEIMENCEAUy PLEA; BLAME FRANCE

message will find many to disap- provo.'
 Forcing an Eaetorn Alliance. Senator Hitchcock expressed the opinion that France was partly to blam6 for conditions east of the Rhine. saying; Now that Germany is a republic I should not think France would try to placate her. I shouid like to ask Clemencenu why France continues to provoke Germany by. for instance, keeping ao.0o0 black troops on Ger man soil and why she persists in do- Ing things to arouse the resentment
 H the Germans.
 "As he maintains, 1t is true that Germany, Russia and Turkey arc drawing closer together toward & common understanding, but Trance is driving them on that course"
 MT. Hitchcock's colleague, Senator Norris. an original irreconcilable, de- clared that the repudiaticn of the Versailles treaty by. the voters should settle the question brought up by the Tiger.
 Senator Caraway of Arkansas, who was recently in Europe and came home with story to tell that was distinctly anti French. denied that conditions in Europe are such as Clemenccau painted them to be.
 Senator Capper Of Kansas, head of the bi- partisan farm bloc. connected the Tigers" plea with the debt situa- ti0n, saying:
 At the bottom Of 1t all Is the de- sire of Europe to get more of our money. do not believe this country should go to war to settle the prob lems of Europe. And do not think we will give Europe any more money until the nations over there, who are in debt to us, show disposition to pay back some Of the money they owe us-"
 "Not in Good Taste"
 Senator Edge of New Jersey raised the question of the propriety of Gle menceau's plea, declaring:
 The appeal made by M. clemen- ceau for assistance from the United States. with the threat of new war as the alternative, is not in good taste and, will accomplish nothing. America has shown in the past her willingness to aid France. and If the time comes when she needs further assistance it is not unlikely we will give it. But we will do it in our own way and in our own time, and not as France herself may dictate
 MT. LAdd. the republican noil- partisan league senator from North Dakota observed that America's duty to Europe is duty owed not only to the Allies. but also to the former en- enaies of the nation. He said we should never become party of their political iealouaies and enbrcil- nents.''
 Other senators, as a rule. were dis inclined to comment. But. as stated, he general opinion of the Clemen- ,cau speech seemed to be unfavorable t was said last night that Senator sorah may speak in the senate to- morrow and that if he does he prob ,bly will have more to gay regarding he utterances Of the Tiger"
