ILLINOIS U. PROF. IS GUEST SPEAKER AT I. R. C. MEETING At the th ird meeting of the International Relations Club this year the problem of "France and her Foreign R ela tion s" was discussed. The principal speaker at the meeting was M r . J ean Haupe r t, who is a native c.1f Paris, France ,and who has been in the United States fou r years. At present he is teaching French at th e University of Illinois. Mr. Haupert made the statement that the ,p redominant feeling withir: the French nation today is a longinv for securi t y and for quiet w i thin heJ borders without fear of invasion from her neighbors.
He said that between 1792 and 1918 France has been invaded five times which, he said, naturally leads her to uneasiness. Her greatest source of wo rry is Germany, and he expressed the opinion that distrust by the F rench of the Germans can only be: eliminated by a change in German fee ling. "With Belgium", he said, "France's relations are most cordial, as also with Switzerland. Since the s igning of the entente cordiale, France's r elations \vi th England have also been friendly. France-Italian relation s are not what they should be, mainly because of lack of sympathy between French officials, notably Briand and Musso lini''. "Since Spain became a republic ,
