ECONOMIC PARLEY
IN j. s., PREDICTED
BY LONDON PAPERS
Hint That French and British
Premiers Will Visit Washing
ton Together Soon.
To- ASK HARDING'S AID

by Associated Press N Every Evening.
London, Dec. t3.--Rumors OF the
possibility OF an international econo-
mic conference in Washington. which
have been current here during the
last few days, were discussed in the
London morning newspapers today.
It Is not assumed that such a COM
ference has been decided on, but the
success OF the armament conference
has aroused hopes that the economic
troubles OF Europe might be settled
by similar gathering,
Connected with the ruuors are
more or less vague reports that Prime
Minister Lloyd George and Premier
BRAND of France intend to 90 TO
Washington together after the French
premier's visit here next week.
The Daily Mail claims to have re-
ceived official information from
Downing street that Mr.. Lloyd George
Is unlikely to go to America for some
months. but instead proposes taking
vacation trip TO Southern France
after the coming parliament session.
On the other hand the Times says:
Inc hbkRtsLiOn - ndLdIueu lDdt aLIeF
next weeks conferences with NJ.
BRAND. Mr.. Lloyd George might not
deem the moment inopportune to lay
the whole question. OF the needs OF
shattered Europe before President
Harding. who undoubtedly has the
warmest sympathy for the stricken
continent. Should Mr.. Lloyd George
take the initiative in appealing to him
TO summon another conference to con-
slider world economic and financial
conditions. the appeal, II is thought,
might not be unayailing."
1t is believed in any case that the
conversations between BRAND. the
French premier and Lloyd George.
next week will take a wider range
than the single question Of German
reparations and this supposition is
largely the basis OF today's press
speculation concerning a possible new
conference in America.
