many left a gap between him and
the French premier that two meet
ings failed to bridge.
Speculation Stirred.
II also stirred a whirl Of Specula-
ton throughout the world which Is
still finding its way TO newspaper
headlines.
In bidding goodbye to Sen. Borah
last night at the French embassy
reception, Premier Laval left no
intimation that he was ready to
sanction revision OF the World war
treaty OF peace. whatever else he
and Mrs. Hoover may have agreed
to in their announced understand
ing.
But Sen. Borah found today that
his final handshake with Mr..
Laval-and an invitation 70 visit
Paris for further taiks-had not clos
ed the incident. He was receiving
plenty OF reaction from within the
nation.
Asked to Speak.
There was a stack Of mail on his
desk and among other messages ne
had invitations to carry his pro-
posals to the people in public adj
dresses. one was from the state
federation Of women's clubs Of New
York.
Whether this vehicle would serve
TO carry Borah further into the
political picture and into the 1882
presidential situation was a topic tor
discussion among some serious MIND
ed political leaders.
