Poi:mare, freed from the cares of the Presidency, has liberated
his soul, in the Revue dee Dear Monek,s, in. a scathing criticism of the. methods of the Allied Supreme, Council. M. Foineare declares that the Allied Premiere, inceesantly journeying from one capital to, another, became isolated andlost touch with their peoples. He says, with much truth, that the old plan of leaving the negotiations to professional diplomatists was " a hundred times more effective and sure." M. Foincare comments sarcastically on.the way in which both M. Clemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George changed their minds in regard to the question of Constantinople. Apparently Mr. Lloyd. George converted
Clemenceau to his view that the Turk should be cleared out " bag and baggage," and then himself became a Turcophile in deference to " some of his Ministers " and to " Hindu protests." "May the Supreme Council," concludes the ex-President, " sleep a last long slumber." We may add that it has made us think more kindly of the much-abused Congress of Vienna.
