Senator Reed told the committee that the manner in which American divisions have commemorated their achievements hy the erection of monuments in France is looked upon | by the French as anattempt to dwarf | thelr own sacrifices and bravery. “To hell with the Americans” s to he found scribbled over some of the monuments in France to.the Ameri- can dead, Senator Reed sald.

Senator Reed said that the erec- tion of additional monuments, such as that proposed by Representative Fish of New York, in memory of the colored troops:of the 93d Division, would serve only to increase tha ten- sion. He sald that it is the com- mission’s policy to cut down the number of monuments and that many proposed memorials havé been eliminated fromr the commission’s program because of the attitude of the French. Senator Reed said that no one val- ued the herolsm and sacrifices of the colored troops more than hé did. ing a poor service to the negro race to segregate them through the erec- tipn of a separate monument.
