Paris, Jan. Il (by the Associated
Press. THE first meeting of the SUI
preme inter-allied council since the
American delegation arrived in Paris
is expected to be held at he French
foreign office tomorrow
This will bring together President
Wilson and the premiers of the three
other principal powers, David Lloyd
George, Georges Clemenceau and Wit
torio Orlando, who will probably be
accompanied by their foreign minis
ters, Balfour. Pichon and Sonnino. 1t
is understood that Colonel House will
also attend with President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing, as he had served
as the presidents representative on
the council until the president ar
rived here. This supreme council is
confined to the president and pre-
miers, whereas the inter-allied con-
ference Is made up of the full delega-
tons of five members of the great
powers and lesser number from 9TH
er powers.
For this reason the full American
delegation will not attend the meet
ing Sunday.
The purpose of the meeting is to ar
range preliminary program for Mon
day when the other nations will be
represented and full delegations will
be present. The matter of representa-
ton and Mondays meeting of the in
ter-allied conference have been the
subjects of informal discussion among
the various national representatives.
| but so far no official announcement
has been made. =
The arrival of the Japanese and
Chinese delegations has brought to the
front the possibility of the assertion
by the former of the right to repre-
sent the latter, and it may be that this
will be one of the questions considered
tomorrow.
1t Is expected that the inter-allied
conference will assemble early Mon
day, though the exact time and dura-
ton of the sessions have not yet been
finally fixed. Sessionss, more or less
formal, will likely last several days,
with NJ. Clemenceau as temporary pre-
siding officer, pending the arrival of
belated delegations and the launch
ing OF the conference in its full mem
bership.
When that stage Is reached Presi-
dent Poincare will attend for the pur-
pose of delivering the welcome OF
France to the delegates, and Georges
Clemenceau, the French premier, will
then be chosen permanent chairman
cf the conference in accordance with
the general view Of the delegates, and
the usual practice of seiecting the
chairman from the country entertain
ing an international gathering.
Aside from the meetings of the su-
preme council and the inter-allied con-
ference, interest centers in the inter-
allied relief committee, which held
its first meeting today after the ar
rival of the Earl of Reading. repre-
senting Great Britain. This Is the or
ganizaton of which Herbert C. Hoov-
er is director general and today's
meeting was for the purpose of secur-
ing the cooperation of all the allies
in the extensive relief plans.
Vance Mccormick and Bernard M.
Baruch arrived today and are bringing
the results of their experience as beads
of the United States war trade board
and war industries board to the vari-
GUS activities of the American delega-
ton.
