FRANCE spilled the beans last week.
BRAND and his cabinet are out.
POincare is forming a new ministry
with himself as its head. All the
doings Of the meeting of the supreme
council at. Cannes are nullified, at
least for the present. Plans for the
economic and financial conference
may have to he revised. The Ger
mans probably will be called on by the
French to make the reparations pay
ments when they are due or suffer the
penalty.
Lloyd George at Cannes had agreed
that Great Britain would make
treaty guaranteeing France against at
tack by Germany, provided, however,
that the French ministry Of marine
and the British admiralty should reach
a complete agreement on submarines
and other naval craft, and provided
also that the French and British gov
ernments should make their foreign
policies conform especially in the near
east. He required, too, that France
cooperate in restoring world econoIn-
les and finances and agree to deal
with Soviet Russia. These conditions
cll meant yielding by France to
british policies and at once storm

In all the, European capitals and In
Washington there was something akin
To- CONSERVATION when the news from
r"lis was received. The conference at
mes automatically came to an end.
TIC American government, which had
". decided whether or not to accept
the invitation to take part in the
Genoa conference, halted consideration
Of the question until there are further
developments. The German cabinet
saw the chance for moratorium fad
ing and was correspondingly despon-
dent. The English were reticent but
plainly indignant and relations be-
tween them and the French, severely
strained for several years, were not
improved.

deal with the restoration Of Europe
should be held in Genoa in March
