RIGA, August 26.

Messages from Moscow state that following the failure of Mr. Joffe's negotiations with Japan, the Soviet diplomacy is now threatening an alliance with China.

French opinion thercanent could not change. France after 1870 placed her finances in order and recovered prosperity by work, good faith and goodwill. Germany should do the same to-day.

WORLD CONGRESS.

PRESIDENT HARDING'S VISION..

PARIS, August 26. M. Poincare, unveiling a tablet at Condrecourt commemorating the arrival of the first American troops at the front, paid an eloquent tribute to American resolution and energy in sending men to defend on foreign soil the rights of civilised pęō- ple. French and American troops fought side by side for months in order that peace might no longer be placed at the mercy of mad dynastic ambitions. In order that the peril they averted might never recur it would have been most desirable that the union so closely maintained in wartime might have retained the character and force of an alliance in peace time. The Treaty of Versailles authorised France to take for granted result which would, prej Johite plan to call a world congress At the time of his death President Harding was have guaranteed her remrations security but, the next year. According to a hitherto unpublished United States Senate had not rating the work, the interview, three weeks before his death the President President judging the hour had come when America declared his conscience no longer permitted him to could no longer be embarrassed with affairs wherein remain inactive in world affairs.

That decision had not changed the sentiments uniting the two countries. France thought a mutual attachment a surer pledge of good understanding than scaled parchments. The United.
