He will point out the hardships that a separate peace between fiermany and the United States would inflict on France, who does not Mieve that the United States would enter into such an arrangement if Americans really understood the disadvantages it would mean to the Allies. France believes that the United .States can make reservations to the Versailles Treaty, which will protect her sovereignty, and, at the same time, permit her to co-operate with the Allies. M. Viviani will not speak on the subject, of the cancellation of the French debt to the United States, hut he will point out to Mr. Hardinp that France, intends to make Germany fulfil the treaty, which Europe cannot throw overboard. The treaty is the law of Europe, which any nation dealing with Europe cannot disregard. ML Viviani will remain a week in Washington and a week in New York.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
