France to Meet Berlin
In Economic Conference
alleged Discrimination Against
French Importers To BE One
of the Subjects Considered

PARIS, April 30-An economic con-
ference between delegates representing
France and Germany was arranged yes
terday by Premier Millerand and Dr..
Gocppert. 1t will probably be held in
Paris at an early date, depending upon
the arrival of the Germans.
The conference is the outcome Of the
conversations Premier Millerand had
with DR.. Mayer, the German Charge
d'Atfaires here, which were interrupted
by the entry of the German troops into
the neutral zone of the Rhneland.
The Germans showed disposition to
make the conference contingent upon
evacuation Of Frankfort by the French.
M. Millerand replied that the gu unstions
were entirely separate. The conditions
of the evacuation having been fixed by
the San Reno conference, he declared
they must be complied with.
One of the first questions the French
will raise is alleged discrimination
against French exporters through the
manipulation Of special import licenses
An effort will be made at the outset to
establish relations on the basis of the
Treaty of Versailles, after which the
French delegates will welcome discus
sion of such economic advantages as
France might be able to accord Ger
many.
1t is understood the Germans will
propose an understanding by which
ruinous competition in the sale Of Ger
