WILSON HOLDS GREAT REGARD FOR "TIBER" Statesmen Friendly Despite Clashes

: Br MARK gTJXLIVAIf WASHINGTON, Nor. 17 About some of the distinguished European visitors who have made tours of Am erica since the war and during It many Americans hare had some mental reservations and have Indulged in secret doubts about the ultimate usefulness of the appearance of America giving enthusiastic applause. But as to Clemenceau, who arrives tomorrow, the writer has never heard any of the Americans who were In contact with Clemenceau during the war and dur ing the peace conference give utterance to any . other sentiment except regard and affection.

During the war the institutions of i censorship and propaganda built up

a considerable number of inaccurate pictures of statesmen and military leaders which we shall have to un learn before we can value them correctly. But Clemenceau Is genuine. He is all that he is pictured At the peace conference he opposed Wilson and the Americans accompaying Wilson almost, savagely, but every one or the Americans, including Wilson himself, ended. the experience with high regard for the "Old Tiger, Wilson Liked Clemenceau Lloyd George did not oppose WilEon as steadily or as stoutly as Clem' eneeau did, but there is plenty of evi dence to show that Wilson had a much higher regard for the Frenchman than for the Englishman. Lloyd George did not oppose anybody with any continu ity. At one time or another he was all over the lot. On one occasion he even helped Wilson against Clemenceau. But what Wilson really felt about Lloyd George can be guessed from a passage in the book recently published by Mr. Wilson's confidential associate, Ray Stannard Baker, "Woodrow Wilson and the World Settlement" Mr. Baker says: "Lloyd George was a great disappointment to President Wilson. Ho had failed the president utterly while the latter was absent in America. Lloyd George seemed to have no guiding principles whatever. He was powerfully on one side one day and powerfully on the other the next He was personally one of the most charming, amiable, engaging figures at Paris, full of Celtic quicksilver, a torrential , talker in the conferences, but no one was ever quite sure, having heard him express an unalterable determination on one day. that he would not'De un alterably determined some other way on the following. He was full of sua den. briKht ideas, he contracted en thusiasm, he had panics, and amused or charmed nearly everybody with whom he came into personal con tact" Glad To Meet Again. But while this probably is a very mild version of what Wilson thinks about Lloyd George, his feeling about Clemenceau was one of liking and respect, and the meeting between the two men in Washington early next month will undoubtedly give pleasure to both. At the peace conference Wilson and Clemenceau were directly opposed. Wilson wanted the security of France to rest wholly on the League of Nations. Clemenceau was willing to tolerate the league but had no great faith ' In it He wanted France's security to rest on military guarantees. In spite of the prolonged deadlock between the two men on this issue, each had a curiously sympathetic understanding and admiration for ithe intellectual qualities of the other. One day in the French Chamber of Deputies, some one charged that Clemenceau was permitting himself to come under the Influence of Wilson. Clemenceau in making it clear there was no danger of his yielding, pictured Wilson as being an idealist. Description of Wilson One of Clemenceau's phrases was to tho effect that Wilson was a man of "grardecandeur" literally this phrase merely means "great candor but Clemenceau's manner and the context showed that he meant to picture Wilson as a man whose eyes were a little more on the stars and his feet a little less firmly on the ground than Clemenceau's own. On a different occasion Wilson spoke a little complainingly of Clemenceau as baving "a kind of feminine mind". As Yil?on used the phrase he did not imply anything slightly; but rather a mind that would listen sympathetically to argument and emotional appeal, but would remain of the same opinion still. Mr. Baker describes an incident char-i Hcteristic of the long dead-lock between the two men in the sessions of the "Big Four." "On one day" says Mr. Baker's book, "the session broke up with bitter cbsrges by Clemenceau that Wilson was 'pro-German" that he was "seeking to destroy France." President Touches Frenchman The president, bitterly offended, went for a long drive in the bois during the noon intermission and at the beginning of the afternoon session he stood up before the three others and in a great appeal Admiral Grayson, who heard it. said it was one of the most powerful speeches the president ever made set forth again his vision of peace. "After it was over M. Clemenceau was much affected and he shook the president's hand and said 'you are a good man, Mr. President, and you are a great man.' "But though the president could touch Clemenceau's emotions, he could not make fcim yield." CopjTlght 1922 by The New York Evening Post Inc.
