FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES GREAT WAR MEMORIAL DEDICATED. MUTUAL DESIRE FOR PEACE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 10.45 a.m.) BORDEAUX, September 4. Dedicating a monument to FrenchAmerican friendship, in the form of a great tower, marking 4 where the first American Expeditionary Forces under General Pershing landed in France, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Bonnet, said France hoped that the heavy threats weighing upon Central Europe would be dispelled. France in any event would remain faithful to the pacts, treaties and engagements she had undertaken. M. Bonnet said he welcomed the recent speeches of President Roosevelt and Mr Cordell Hull and had not a doubt that the people of the United States would again come to France’s defence if she were attacked. France did not want war and it was her desire that’ the United States should help to safeguard and organise peace. The American Ambassador, Mr Bullitt, in reply advocated a first move towards disarmament by the abolition of air bombing and the removal of obstacles to the restoration of world trade. He expressed the opinion that the present European situation was not hopeless.
