to leave France because OF his
wor& in exposing the secret Anglo.
French naval treaty.
Praises Hearst
It was introduced by Alderman
Oscar r. Nelson, Republican floor
leader in the Council. who de-
clafed:
ssNo American citizen has done
more to safeguard freedom Of
the press than Mr.. Hearst, and
no man has done more to keep
the United States out Of foreign
eIltanglements.
New York and Boston have
clearly shown their feelings, and
Il - only right that Chicago
the greatest American city
should honor the man in q fit
ting manner"
The resolution recalled that in
all countries which he visited save
orle Fraf1ce-Mr Hearst had re-
ceiVed signal honors and that in
France he was asked to leave be-
cause he had dared to publish the
secret agreement between that re-
public and England two years
ago.s,
His devotion to the interests of

tiOns were loyal to the Allies,
and loyal to France"
The mayor declared later that
he would appoint the committee
i, to handle the affair in the very
neal, future.
