The two countries are hence' forth united in the same glory. They feel that this very union provides the best, guarantee for the peace of the world and that the main interests of mankind cannot but profit by their close ana intimate co-operauon. "If. as prime minister of the French republic, I did not hesitate, in spite of present difficulties, to leave my country, it was, first, be cause 1 wanted to Dring over nerc the tribute of her gratitude and at the same time to show that the iore most thought of every Frenchman is peace. .We know too well, alas, what war means and the toll it takes, not to yearn for peace with heart and soul, bo as soon as President nara ing sent out his noble call, my coun try answered 'Presentl'. and here I am to demonstrate the earnest good will of France by every means in my ndwer.

France and America, yesterday united on the battlefields, will thus continue to play their beneficent part, in deriv ing from their common victory such res its as will conform with the idealism that has ever animated them." Policies Are Outlined. He will enter the conference with general policies clear in his own mind and in the minds ot other members of the delegation. These include: First. The French government's obligations to the league of nations do not preclude France from joining other powers inside or outside the league in limiting armaments or set tling other questions that the league considers as within its jurisdiction. Second. French policy is identical with that of the United States to ward commercial opportunities in China. Third, the restriction of sea arma ments offers no difficulties peculiar to France. Its navy is already be low any formula likely to be adopted. Land Armaments. Fourth, French interests concen trate upon land armaments. Their strength is conditioned by Germany and the payment or nonpayment of reparations. German reparations and the military questions are considered to be closely related to when and how France can begin to meet its American debt. Therefore, if Wash ington desires to raise the question of the debts in the conference, the French delegation would be prepared to discuss them. M.
