What con-elusion con-elusion was reached Is not known, but M. Poincare. in a statement declared International questions henceforth will be settled, as heretofore, through ..in bassndors." This, In tho expressed opinion of the premier-designate, would mean the a lrtua) disappearance ol the supreme council, although he added: "There- must bo one ilnal meeting should the French viewpoint prevail, nnd I have good reasons to believe it will, so far us Great Britain Is con-, corned?' SUCCESS SCORED He : bought ther bad been too many meetings of the supremo council and ho desired a return to the old fashion-, ed way of dealings Tho conference turned out to be quite a success for the new premier, according to tho French -. lew, as he apparently ap-parently convinced Mr. Llod George i hat it would bo construed by the French na".ion as unfortunate, and by himself as inimical to him personally, person-ally, should Mr. Lloyd George meet ejc-preiuler Brland and Dr. Rathcnau. German representative. ' i In conj'cquence. M. Brland's visit to the British embassy was merely a so-' da! function, during which he had a brief Infprnial talk with the British premier. Mr. Lloyd George did not meet the Germans The- British premier came here with jatlf loatlon of the policy of a moratorium morator-ium for Germany tentatively granted by the reparations committee but mei vith strong opposition from M. Poln-taro, Poln-taro, who argued that Germany had not paid to tho limit of her capacity and tha. some moans must bo found for lightening France s burden. Tho conclusion In Belgian circles which have rallied to the British and Italian views, is that France stands alone on the reparations problems. IISSI-S APPOIXTMEM Mr. Lloyd George had notitlcd Ely-see Ely-see palace that he would like to call on President Mliicrand bi. the latter had an appointment and suggested an hour which was tho time when the! premier was conferring with M.

Poincare Poin-care is said to agree. chooses i.EPEiui:c ED The fact that M. Poincaro offered three of the most important portfolios port-folios after foreign affairs, which he cakes for himself, to men of lit,. perlence in political affairs, is regarded re-garded as significant that he i u t nds to have his own way so far as l'runch policy Is concerned. An, in accordance with established principle, cabinets are bound by tho decisions of their predecessor' the Genoa economic conference will be hold. It is probable, however, that l'ranrn will seek to llnifc the dlSCUSHlon to purely economic and financial matters, mat-ters, to the exclusion of political problems. prob-lems. This, It Is understood. M Folncaro made, clear to Mr Lloyd George. It is nlfo considered . likely thai i. Poincare Poin-care will not represent Franco personally. |
