fcENCH PRESIDENT TO
VISIT UNITED STATES
resident Poincare Will Visit This
Country Some Time This Year?
Insists That Allies Are in Com
plete Harmony On Peace
Term?.
Paris, Jan. 1.?President Poincare
planning to visit the United States
Eter the peACe conference. .
He revealed this yesterday daring
i interview with the United Press
i which he forecastd that France,
le United States, and the Allie3 in
jneral, will enter the conference al;ady
agreed on the basis for peace.
No dates and no details have been
xed for Poincaire's visit but June
r July have been tentatively sugssted
to him. "Naturally" he said
ith a smile, "as president of the
I
juntry where the peace will be held
will be unable to leave before that
ids."
Reports of material differences
tnohg the Allies, he declared?then
^iterated ,are German fabrications.
I do not foresee the slightest troule
in arriving zt complete accord,
ven to the details," he said.
"We are already in harmony on
eneral lines. The details will be seted
as soon as the delegates get
own to work. It will take some:
me of course, as there is a tremenous
amount of detail.
Poincaire early directed the con-j
ersation to President Wilson's pres-j
nee in France, in an evident desire
> show his appreciation of the Amrican
executive's visit.
"We are particularly happy over
le visit of President Wilson," he
lid. You witnessed the reception
ccorded him. This was due equally
3 the French people's admiration for
i a A *m nwi/tnM n rt 1 A n m /] 4- n 4-1^ n r?
.lis ii.iiici lL-ciii aiiu lu oxiv;ii apreciation
of the great role the Amrican
people played in the war. We
ash him joy in his new citizenship,
uite as though this were his own
ome. He is bound to play a capi
tal role in the conference- Mucl
good has been accomplished by hi:
coming. We appreciate his collabo
ration, which has been the creates:
help.
"Many problems remain to b<
solved, not only for Western Europe
but for the Near East, Africa an:
elsewhere. All necessarily will com<
tp at the conference where wc hop<
at least to have the assistance o:
your President in settlement of th<
principles before his departure."
Poincaire smiled and then added
"There is so much to do he may yel
ave to remain some .time among us.
The President gieeted the corres
londent at the door of his study ir
the Elysee and indicated chairs ai
12 side of his desk, a beautiful ex
ample of the Louis period. Only one
other person was present?a stifl
captain of the French army.
In response to a suggestion thai
he French are modest to the poinl
of reticence he replied:
