The possibility of the United States
bringing up the question of the allied
debts in the Washington conference as
one OF the basic problems closely allied
to actual disarmament is being used here
by the anti -Briandists as another reason
why the French Premier should not at
tend the conference in person. but allow
diplomatic staff to lay the groundwork
for decisions to be taken on this side Of
the Atlantic.
Dispatches from Washington to the
effect that the allied debt problem, as
well as suggestion for curtailing Ger
manys reparation obligations, may be
added to the agenda, thus making the
conference more important than any
thing yet attempted by world financiers.
already have had the effect Of increasing
the number of warnings to the Govern
ment here to go slow and not to commit
itself to anything until the full scope Of
the activities of the meeting Is revealed
by the conference directors.

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The severance by
Poland of diplomatic relations with the
Russian Soviet Government is re-
garded in high French official circles
as probable, and it is thought similar
action by Rumania may follow as a
result of the dispute over the Bes-
sarabian boundary. The French Gov
ernment, however, considers war be-
tween Poland and Russia impossible,
because both physically are incapable
of carrying on hostilities.
The reports that Poland has deliv-
cred an ultimatum to Russia and that
France is pressing Poland and Ru-
mania to begin warfare against the
Russians are declared by the Foreign
Office to be merely propaganda de-
signed to put France In the light OF
seeking to stir up the small nations
against Russia.
French officials say that Poland has
written scores of notes to Moscow de-
the Riga treaty for the restitution OF
property and for gold payments BY Rus
sia, and that Poland's only method OF
emphasizing her position is break in
relations with Russia, as she cannot
make war against the Soviets.
" The Rumanian situation is not con-
