It hns never len doubted by ad

the Washington treaties are disso

will not be associated in the future
with any other, but must be treated
by every algnatory upon their exclu

It la thought here that M. Clemen
ctau, during his atay In thia country,
will be able to learn America's (rue
position on matters of most concern
to France more correctly than the
Trench government and parliament
appear to understand them., and that
l'.e' will be impressed seriously by this
country's surprise and disappoint

France of the Washlnxton treaties. It
is felt here that If the French authori

the American questioning pf France's
attitude towards those parts there
would be little further deluy by he
