It was impossible .or France to plan for the future us America and England would. As a consequence there .whs a great divergence of. idelis during the early days of the peace conference that was more or, less mis understood by Americans in France and caused nn undue amount of erlt- i \ lclsin to tie launched against French methods and Frencli statesmen. The French for instance passed u governmental resolution about the middie of Jariuury that practically stopped the importation of American, English. amF other foreign, manufac tured articles into the country, this at a time when the average American was thinkfng and talking 7 of tlie closer trade relations that would spring up between France and "XiuerTea as a re- trolt of the two nartons having fought side by side in the war.
