Paris. Jan. 16.
France will not only consider her.
self bound by the commitments taken
by the BRAND Ministry at Cannes as
to the Genoa conference, but Premier
Poincare will go to Genoa himself
to represent France if the British
and Italian Prime Ministers, Mr..
Lloyd George and Signor Bononi, re.
spectively, decide to attend the con-
ference in person.
This statement was made to THE
NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
here tonight by Deputy Francois
Arago, president of the Bloc National,
on which the new Cabinet depends
for its majority in the Chamber of
Deputies. II is also significant to
recall that NJ. Arago was in Cannes
while the Genoa conference was be.
ing arranged. and left there imme'
diately to report to political leaders
here as soon as it, seemed certain
that M. BRAND intended to pledge
Frances cooperation and acqui'
escence in the presence at the council
table at Genoa of Soviet Russian
representatives and Germans.
France does not wish to give the
tx,,x - hot gl, &c, o. n
her signature even if the authority
therefor appears doubtful" NJ. Arago
said. AS a matter of fact, it was
decided that the invitations be sent
while France was represented by
only an under official. but inasmuch
as he was appointed by the outgoing
Ministry and as NJ. BRAND did not
hand over the reins of government
until this afternoon Premier Poin-
care shortly will announce the inten-
tion of France to participate, al
though subject to guarantees laid
down in the initial resolution

"It is recognized here that for
France TO refuse TO meet her neigh
bors, even If they are one time ene-
mics or those In whom she has little
confidence, would create misunder-
standings in the United States, whose
natural interest in seeing Europe
brought back TO an era of peace is
well understood here. However, NJ.
Poincares ideas as to methods of con-
ducting negotiations are clear cut. and
nc will refuse 70 remain away from
Paris for a long period. In other
words. he will do just what NJ. BRAND
did in washington--always provided
the other nations arc represented by
their Premiers-namely he will re-
main throughout the opening sessions
and then hand over the protection OF
Frances interests 60 another. Reno

End OF supreme Council.
VI. Poincare had n two hours talk
with Lord Curzon. British ForsiRn
Minister. this afternoon. which is 20
be followed by others as soon as the
Cabinet has appeared before Parlia-
ment. Their talk laid tho ground
work of Frances new policy in inter-
national affairs--a policy wherein tho
Supreme Council. as IL has been known
hitherto. will be negligible factor.
II was decided 70 hold a meeting OF
the allied Premiers in Paris at the
end Of this month to take up the prob

peace and ratifying or modifying the
Angora accord between France and
the Turkish Nationalists. but this will
