M. CLEMENCEAU IN AMERICA.
Washington, Nov. 24° -The utterances of M. Clemencean came under fire in the Senate to-day, where there was a sharp debate covering recent relationships. Senator Hitchcock declared that M. Clemenceau's attitude towards Germany had detracted from his appeal to the American people, although it was mild compared to the attitude of
the present. French Government.
Mr. Hitchcock pictured Germany on the verge of insurrection as the result of the French Reparations Policy. He declared it was after 'nonsense to expect Germany to niest the demands -France exacted. The French policy was a policy of war not peace. Senator Borah declared that M. Clamenceau's accusation of dishonour against America was unfounded and ungrateful.
