Millerand Would Like Per.
sonal Talk With Lloyd
George on Dispute
BUT WOULDN'T JOIN
WIDER CONFERENCE
France Believes That At
tempt Is Being Made
to Discipline Her

Paris, April ~ tBy the Associated
Press Nothing has Is yet been de-
cided as to Premier Aillerand's state
ment at the supreme council meetings
at San Reno and it was declared this
morning in reliable sources that if the
conference there is to discuss the mis-
undersr anding between France and
Great Britain he will not 90 at all.
A personal talk on the subject with
Premier Lloyd George would be vel
coined by the French premier ii Mr..
Lloyd George could find it convenient
10 come TO Paris, but it is considered
in official circles that as the point at
issue interests France and Great Brit
ain only, it is needless to discuss 1t
before ahe representatives OF the other
powers.
1t Is held here that the British gov
ernment, in persisting in the discus
sion, has put the matter in a form
where it is difficult TO see what salts
faction it is possible to give. France
has not been asked to eyacuate Frank
fort, and the impression is gaining
ground, It is Indicated, that what is
sought above all is to discipline France.
Premier. MilIerand's reply 70 the lat
est British note has not vet been made
public. but 1t is declared to make no
material change in the situation
II expresses regret that there has
been occasion for any controversy, but
il points out that if France acted alone
in her occupation move east Of the
Rhine. it was because she was ieft
alone in the face of situation which
required prompt action.
The note assured Great Britain that
France is determined to remain faith
ful 40 the alliance, but it intIpates
that the government cannot promise
10 abstain from defending the interests
confded to il when its action Is not
contrary to the objects OF that alli'
ance.
The foreign office has not received
any further replies from the powers 10
it's notice of the occupation of Frank
fort. but it is learned that Baron Mat
sui. the Japanese ambassador. has un-
officially stated that Japan has no OBJ
lection to the action of France.
The softened tone Of the correspond
ence with Great Britain is noted with
some satisfaction, but IL was remarked
with some surprise, it was said, that
while negotiations over questions dis
agreeable to adversaries Of the entente
were conducted with a deliberation
that was sometimes wearing to pa
thence. the British government had es'
tablished a record for rapidity in de-
veloping its grievance against an ally.
