misunderstanding of the abandon
ment of the Spa conference between
representatives of the allied govern
ments and Germany is being discussed
in European capitals.
The success OF the Independent So
cialists and the Conservatives in the
German elections leads to the belief
in France that Germany is less than
ever inclined to carry out the treaty.
This belief, with the prospect that
Giovanni Giolitti, former Italian pre-
mier, will form rev ministry in that
country. is said to have moved Pre-
mier Millerand of France to oppose
any further yielding on the question
of the German indemnity, such as
might be expected to result from the
Spa meeting. 1t is recalled that
Signor Giolitti opposed Italiys en-
trance into the war and it is said his
foreign policy includes resumption OF
frll relations with Germany.
Premier Millerand is said to feel he
might hazard his position if the Spa
conference were held, and belief is
expressed here that Signor Giolitti
may decline to attend the meeting.
