In the matter of beef, the world's

had determined upon Its line of action
on practically all the questions in
volved, including a society of nations,
on which M. 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." .
The premier earlier had expressed
belief in the efficiency of the old sys-
scon exiit only In our fraternal or.
tern of alliances, called "tne oaiance or
power," but Indicated that he was not
opposed to a league of nations. Such. a
league, he said, might be organized
about the time the treaty of peace was
completed.
