Premier BRAND Determines
To Attend Conference,
Despite Protests.
BY HUDSON HAwLEY.
UNITED News STAT Correspondent.

PARIS, Aug. lin spite of press
protests and warnings as to what
happened to former President Will
SON. when he went abroad, Premier
BRAND is determined to go to WASH
ingtop. according to foreign Office
attaches regarded as being in the
premier's confidence From these
sources, il is learned that he con-
siders the questions to be discussed
as of such Importance that the pre-
mier must discuss them in person.
Further he wishes to signalize the
friendship Of France and the United
States by appearing In Washington
personally.
The rest of the delegation has not
yet been picked. There is some talk
to the effect that Albert Sarraut,
minister of colonies would be a
logical choice because of his juris-
diction over the affairs of Tahiti,
French Indo-China, within the Pa
cific zone of contention. Rene
Viviani is known in the United
States. and has additional virtue
of sharing Brands political COM
plexion. Perhaps Jules Jusserand
will be picked for the spring press
campaign against him.
Finance Minister Doumer. al.
though he served a long time as

And yet, in a little meeting hall, a

musical show is selling, out mostly
to white people who find 1t alto

Broadway houses were dark TOT
