Faces Newspaper Men.
At the Henry White residence last
evening NJ. Clemenceau faced nearly
100 newspaper men, representing the
Washington corps OF correspondents.
many Of whom had confronted the
Tiger frequently at Paris during the
peace conference.
Discussing with them his self-im-
posed mission to the United States
that of stirring up public opinion on
certain matters"-he declared that il
was almost accomplished.
'lf my opinions are SSked as 30
what you should do" he added. II
would ask for a kindly intervention.
But, of course, behind words there
must be some sort of acts. A few
lines on a piece of paper would be
enough.
"If the people Of America think the
league of nations will do, that's your
business. I'd rather have one good
guarantee from England or the
United States than a league OF ma
tions."
League Statement Guarded.
Asked IL Americas entry into rae
league would be sufficient guaran-
tee, he declared he would not answer
yes or no, for fear of being mtsunder-
stood.
.There was before one league or
nations" he said (which brought the
greatest war. that killed Greece. Ny
own private opinion is that the guar
antee of England would be delight
fully received by France and that
the American guarantee would be de-
lightfully received. We could do with
out guarantees from the lesser ma
tfons in the league"
Asked II he did not feel that Amer
lea again would come to the aid OF
France II she were attacked without
provocation. the Tiger said:
"Ah, that I cannot saw. That I dare
not say America is 4 democracy. She
would have to decide at the time.
We in France have to act as II We
were alone in the world"
