M. Clemenceau told the French Chamber last week that he
had discussed the Turkish question with Mr. Lloyd George, and that the bases for an agreement had been fixed. -Mr; Lloyd George had said to him : " Our two countries must keep closer together than ever," and " If only we are in agreement, there will never again be war in Europe." M. Clemeneeau referred to the " agonizing " problem of Fiume, and said that France, Great Britain, and America were trying to remove the misunderstand- ing which had inflamed Italian opinion. In- regard to Russia, " not only will we not make peace but we will not-have any nego- tiations with the Government of the Soviets," which he described as " most abominable and barbarous." Germany was making clandestine efforts to colonize a part of Russia. "• We must," said M. Clemenceau, " maintain around Russia a wall of, barbed wire." While Russia remained in a state of anarchy there could be no ,assured peace in 'Europe. The Chamber approved of his declaration of policy by an overwhelming majority.
