POLICY OF FRANCE.
ATTITUDE OF GERMANY. RESENTED IN AMERICA. By Telegraph —Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 24, 10.55 p.m. Washington. Nov. 23. Senator Hitchcock replied to M. Clemenceau on the floor of the Senate. He declared that if France had sent ait envoy to the United States to enlist American sympathy, she could have chosen a more appropriate man than M. Clemenceau, labile M. Clemenceau was not known as such a militarist as M. Poincare and others, he was recognised as representing an extremely harsh policy toward Germany. Senator Hitchcock added: “I am not criticising M. Clemenceau so much as the present policy of his Government, which must be altered if there is to be tranquility in Europe.” Senator Hitchcock, who agreed that the United States had quit European affairs too-aeon, said France’s attitude was driving Germany into the hands of the Monarchists or Bolsheviks. The maintenance of black troops on the Rhine was also provocative. Senator Borah asked whether America could co-operate with France so long as the latter’s present policy was pursued. Senator Hitchcock replied “No.” Senator Spencer declared the conduct of the French colored troops was beyond reproach.
