CLEMENCEAU'S SPEECH.

A GREAT APPEALS

Pasis, November, oth

M. Clemenceau'r speech as Strasbourg forms, naturally, the principal toplo of "to-day's newspaper. It is not surprising that the Socialist party organ L'Humanité, does not find the Prime Minister's downright speaking about the Boistorik danger, and the candidature as & Socialist Deputy of the deserter, Capt Badoul, to its liking. But dawbere in the Press there is little criticism to be found. The speech is recognised as some- thing much more

than sa electoral address. The extremist programme of the Socialist party has given the impulse to a movement for "en-operation between other parties at forthcoming elections. It was this need for mity and conciliation among all who stand for law and order that was the basis of the programme for the future Government of France which the Prime Minister laid down yesterday.

A chapter of history is closed, a chapter of history is beginning"; what are the first steps which must be taken to lead France to the fulness of her strength? This was M. Clemenceau's

bo theme Briefly, his answer may

sum med up in the precept of which be him self has all his life furniabod an example: work, be vigilant and struggle;

All for must be liberty of conscienes for ally withans it the republic would constitute lia; there must be a common forinda- tion of union between all Frenchmen, for ithout it no nation can maintain itself. But with the Bolsheviks, he said, there could be no union; between them and the rest of France it was a question of force; in demanding liberty for themselves they. were trying to impose a dictatorship of absolutism Nevertheless the union of all. good Frenchmen would suffice to erect an: inviolable barrier against them..

Such were the main lines of M. Cle- menceau's programme for the renaissance of France. Into all the details of the long speech It is impossible to go, but some of them are more particularly worthy of notice After defending the terms of the treaty M. Clemenceau touch ed on the question of the Church in France. The anti-clerical laws, he said, must be maintained, but there must be and he hoped that

REFORM OF CONSTITITION.

Turning, then, to the question of a reform of the Constitution, which is being mcoted in some quarters, he declared that it was in the legislators themselves, and not in the legislation, that reform was needed; the legislator must be possessed of the resolution to act.

Cle menceau declared that all political, economic, or social action would become дос vain if the people themselves did possess and exercise the initiative and. determination necessary to make organisations function properly. Great Britain, and the way the railway strike was brought, to an end, furnished the Prime Minister with an example of the power possessed by a society determined to defend their rights.
