Plchon said the details were now being formulated. Premier Clemenceau's statement on the freedom of the seas was the first 'announcement from a high authorita tive source. This was accepted as showing that the British and French view-points were In accord.: M. Clem enceau's reference to bis talks with President Wilson Indicated that they had tended to bring out the signifi cance of the French premier's previous conversations with the British prims minister regarding ths action of the British fleet during the war, without which he admitted France could not have continued the war, as well as his fsvorsble attitude toward the future British fleet - Premier Clemenceau said his con versations with President Wilson had been profitable, although, be added, "I should not be telling the Irutb if I said I had always been In agreement with him on all points." - In summing up his argument for eterclse of patience by the chamber, the premier declared: "There will be claims to be set forth and others whlch'wiil hive to be given up. If I mounted the roitrum to elab orate the subject, I would be the worst premier . In Europe. That does not mean we are not working hard te prepare a line of action for the peace conference." .
