CSpeciaD-We can't tell from
this mornings press which ma
ton has declared war on the
other-China or Japan. Each
wants to make it appear that
the other was the aggressor.
1t always helps out in your
recruiting and your patriotism
if you can make your own peo-
pie believe you were the one
pounced on. l think the only
real diplomacy ever performed
by a diplomat is in deceiving
his own people, after their
dumbness has got them into
a war.

DAILY NEWS LETTER

Paris (UP).-The commemora- tive statue of Georges Clemenceau will stand in the Champs Elysees near the Petit Palais, facing the Arch of Triumph.
 After considerable debate by the municipal council, the proper me- morial to Frances greatest pre- mier has been decided upon in the shape of stone and bronze mon- ument, rather than in naming one of Paris's principal avenues after him.
 As in the case of Marshal Foch many wanted to rename the Ave nue des Champs Elysees the Ave nue Georges Clemenceau, but this thoroughfare. was too we'll known to be changed. ,-. The spot chosen is at the end of a formal garden and one of the beauty spots of Paris. and, or course. right in the Champs Ely sees.
