Desehangel, who stated it is the union of the United States and France which will render peace fruitful. I wish to thank America for all she did for France. Economically militarially, and financial ly France and America should remain united in order to establish a lasting peace. The first guarantee of right is a powerful ever ready France. Morally and materially we must see that the Peace Treaty is completed and fulfilled. The League of Nations is the supreme guarantee of Tree peoples. France shall overcome the difficulties pressing so hard upon her by enforcing aIT . the clauses of the Treaty, and developing our alliances of friendship, and promot. ing a complete union among all the citizens of France. The first duty of everyone in France is to maintain a spirit of unity ,and not weakly forget, for mere forgiveness is not only an insult to past hut a menace to the future.
