Berlin. Aug. g GPl-In an appar- ently officially inspired article, the Deutsche Diplomatische Korrespon- denz characterizes Clemenceau's let ter to President Coolidge on the subject of the war debt as self-de- feating because of its "clumsiness and inaccuracies"
 Concerning its reception by Presi- dent Coolidge, the paper observes: The pathetic as well as aggressive rally of the French statesman who was responsible. for Versailles could hardly have been shelved in a cool CT manner"
 While Germany welcomes every thing tending to tighten Frances burdens, the paper continues, Frances attitude toward the obliga- tions imposed on German "extraor- dinarily encourages cool treatment of an appeal addressed to the feel ings of other nations"
 The paper recalls Frances "inor- dinate anxiety to make Germany full fill every iota of the Versailles treaty."
