In addressing the chamber of deputies last night Premier Clemenceau made It plain that it wad his Intention to support Great Britain in -the peace negotia tions on the question of the freedom of the seas, nnd he declared that his attitude in this matter was approved by President Wilson. PARIS, Sunday, Dec. 29. Premier Clemenceau was given a vote ot con-: fidence, 3S0 to 134 in the chamber of deputies today aftei stormy debato during which tbe war aims of France were outlined by Stephen Pichon, foreign minister, and the premier had Indicated bis adherence to the old systems of alliance called the "balance of power." . - Ready to Resign ;' . . It was indicated, by-the premier Nations might be carried out concor. dantly with the drafting of the treaty of peace. M.
