Deep in a campaign for Franco that

democrats as well as republicans
on the senate floor and criticism
from the British government,
France, Monday declared he would
speak his piece out In his own way
no matter whom he offended.
The French premier of war days,
it was learned Monday, has recelv
ed dozens of telegrams from friends
jnd well wishers of France, urging
him to tone down his remarks so
that they will not offend any por
tion of the nation he came to win.
One telegram urged him to, "say
things that America wants to hear
and be expedient.”
“I did not come here to be ex
pedient,” he declared when he re
ceived this message.

LONDON.—(By The Associated
Press)—The statement of Ambas
sador Child at Lausanne last Sat
urday is the outstanding feature
of the London morning newspapers,
which, having no Sunday issues,
take the first opportunity Mon
day to discuss what some term the
“dramatic American Intervention”
and “the American bombshell.”.
Although tome regard the am
bassador's pronouncement as In
tended to give notice of an Ameri
can determination to have a share
In the Monsul oil fields, this view is
not universally put forth and sev
eral influential papers treat Mr.
Childs’ declaration as timely and
weleome.
The Times says:
“The statement Is of wider Im
portance than anything yet set
tled at Lausanne. I( contains no
new doctrine but reaffirms an old
doctrine at a moment which has
been carefully chosen.” '
It sugvests that Americans do
not Intend to allow anything ho
taonen without protest at Lausanne
which wonld make more difficult
the maintenance of American
rivhts when they come to make
their own treaty with Turkey.

This newspaper asserts that pro

The Dally Chronicle apparently
supposes that Mr. Child was hitting

newsuaper says, “than to steal
