- . FROM FRANCE TO AMERICA.
By RAYMOND POINCARE.
President of tlio French Itcpubllc.l
Paris, April 5. To the People of the United States of America:
In tho message which It hns been my privilege to scad this morning
to President Wilson I expressed only too inadequately' tho sentiments of
tho whole of France. .
I was observing some dnys ago In the garden of the Elysee the urn
sprouting of some little trees that were sent to me from America In lulo
by one of your countrymen. They onco adorned tho approaches to
Lafayctto's house. They have crossed tho ocean without dying, in tho
same way as today the friendship of tho United States comes to us intact
mid living. ,
Lust year the lenves of these trees were still a Uttlo weak, but tno
first sproutlngs of this spring piomlsc for next summer a more luxurious,
foliage. I seem to see In these pretty little trees an Imago of American
affection, every day more vivid and moro active.
Wo now nro going to light together for tho liberty of tho peoples
nnd the future of humanity. It Is the futuro of tho world which is nt
stake. We find ourselves at the crossing of two roads. At tho end of
one stands the specter of violence and Injustice ; tho other leads to right
and future peace. Our choice Is made, 'and we shall he proud to travel
side by side on this resplendent road with tho American people.
