Newspaper Presumes That Clem enceau, Flushed With Victory, Wants War on Russia. BT WILLIAM COOK. (Copyright by the New York World, Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, Nov. 20, (Special Cable.) In commenting on their defeat at the French elections, the bolshevik parties in the country countlnue to bitterly criticise Premier Clemenceau , for his stand against all fomentors of 1 trouble. In big black type the bolshe vik newspaper, the Populaire, prints: There are 1,700,000 bolsheviki in France. By the method of voting the party would be represented by 160 deputies." Below this glaring information the Populaire prints the following: 4We are informed from good sources that Clemcncea u has his head com pletely turned by the election vic tory and will seize the first oppor tunity afforded him, when the new chamber meets, to, get the republican right, which is in the majority, to support hinri in his fight against the Russian revolution. It is said he does not ignore the fact 'that he cannot send any -troops, under the present conditions, to Russia. Indeed, the soldiers and sailors, who know that such an act is unconstitutional, will no doubt imitate their comrades at Sebastopol and Odessa.

"This is no Sunday school conven tion; it is a gathering of working men," he said. "The toilers want to drink a glass of beer when their days work is over, and they should be permitted to do it." "John Barleycorn is dead and you can't bring the dead to life," shouted a deleprate from Iowa. Chairman Max Hayes of Cleveland quieted the warring factions by sug gesting as a substitute that the com mittee of three be named to study the effect of prohibition and report to the next national convention. Wet Delegates Withdraw. A number of rtwet" delegates with drew from the convention because they interpreted the action taken as a victory, for the drys. v The convention approved the Plumb plan for government owner ship of railroads and the co-operative movement to reduce the high cost of living. Delegate Nicholas Klein of Cin cinnati threw the convention into an uproar by insisting that a resolution be adopted calling for the United States government to recognize the soviet government of Russia. Dele gates from Iowa, Kansas and other; western states vigorously opposed the resolution. " "Let us solve our own problems, before we take up the- troubles of ( Europe, snouted a delegate from a western state. Chairman Hayes restored order by declaring the resolution out of order. Resolutions calling for the estab lishment of a soviet government in the United States and advocating the abolishment of the United States su preme court were voted down. Lanpdon Davis, a fraternal delegate from the independent labor party of oreat Britain, said that in Kngland It no longer was a question of wheth er the coal mines would, be nation alized. "The only question now is whether sve will confiscate the mines or pay for them," he said. Resolution Are Adopted. Other resolutions adopted were: For the creation of a, national de JMtrtment of health to estaWish hos pitals, medical and dental dispensaries in every county and city for the free Treatment of the sick, A demand that the United States rovernment recognize the Irish re public, ft ' " Demand for the immediate return Af United States soldiers from Rus- Opposition to against Mexico. Demand that negroes be given po litical, industrial and economical iva!ity. . Condemnation of mob violence. The constitution of the party was mended to prevent any member from running for office on any other ticket or accepting tne indorsement of an other party. Chairman Hayes explained that thi rule would not prevent the party from -co-operating with the non-partisan trague ana otner organizations. Organisation Is Perfected. Work of organizing the party was Completed tonight by the adoption of declaration of principles and the wiection oi a national committee, con sisting oi one man and one woman 2rom each state. Headquarters for the new party will be established in nicago. ine organization will call a na tional convention next summer to nominate candidates for president and vice-president. In the meantime, the leaders of the movement will organ ize in the different states. A monthly tax of 2 cents per capita will be levied on the membership to f inane tne party. Included in the declaration of princl pies are tne loiiowing: Abolition of the United States sen ate. Election of federal judges by ponu lar vote for terms not exceeding four years. International .solidarity of labor. Maximum hours of labor for men and women to be eight hours a day and 44 hours a week. Peace Treaty Condemned. Minimum wage for workers to be fixed by law. Old age, unemployment and sick pensions. Government to own and operate the umii Mug uu5iuco j l me country. Nationalisation of unusued lands. - Incomes of individuals to be limited by law. . National initiative, referendum and recall. i Application of the "home-rule" principle in state, county and city government. CoiMli-iimation of governnit'iit by in junction. I "Clemenceau would risk his ma jority vote for a declaration of war against Russia in order to get rid once and for all of the 'bolshevik peril. and at the same time he would re-establish martial law and the cen sorship in France, both of which are indispensable to a government which attempts to use armed force. Already pamphlets and books dealing with the Russian revolution have been seized." . In official circles it was impossible to get ana confirmation of such a rumor, the officials merely shrugging their shoulders and smiling. Others said the French bolsheviki alone are capaoie or spreading such a rumor in an attempt to diminish their de feat at the elections.
