HARDING HESITANT
ON JOINING GENOA PARLEY

Washington, Jan. 12.-Determina-
ton of the administrations attitude to-
ward participation in the international
economic conference called to meet at
Genoa in March may be delayed as a
result of the resignation Of Premier
BRAND, of France, it is indicated In
high official circles.
The administration intends to avoid
haste in deciding it's course in con-
nection with the economic conference
and high officials believed the change
in the French ministry will be another
factor to be considered before de-
cision as to this government atti-
tude is reached.
SO far the United States has not
agreed to participate in the Genoa con-
ference, it was said at the state de-
partment.
French Delegation May Stand
The resignation of NJ. BRAND, the
French prime minister, will not modify
the results already attained at the
Washington conference nor delay the
consideration of subjects on the agenda
In the opinion Of delegates to the con-
ference. This view was expressed by
Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Balfour, head
Of the British group. and Senator
Schanzer, Of Italy, while NJ. Sarraut.
head of the French delegation, in an
swere to a question as to whether, in
his opinion, the work of the confer
ence would be delayed on this account,
said:
mo, not at all. l see no reason why
there should be the least delay"
1t is expected in French circles here
that the French delegation will be sub
ject to no change in personnel nor in
instructions.
"As minister of the colonies,' NJ.
Sarraut said, II have resigned, and
under our procedure, | will remain in
charge Of colonial affairs until the
name of my successor is announced
/ will continue as delegate to the
conference and shall work without in
terruption in the same spirit that
have had heretofore. the spirit of good
will and confidence"
Unperturbed Over News
He would not comment upon the
present political situation in France
but took occasion to speak of the dis
tinguished character of M. Poincare
When Secretary Hughes, in meet
the morning, pushed a slip of paper
toward M. Sarraut, saying that NJ
BRAND had resigned. the latter smiled
and passed the note back to Mr..
Hughes, who in turn showed it to Mr..
BaIfour and the bit Of paper then
passed arothd the table.
The development was the one wholly
absorbing topic at French headquarters
IT was thought not unlikely that NJ
Sarraut would be requested to remain
as minister of the colonies in the new
cabinet. He has held that portfolio in
the Leygues and Millerand ministries
the immediate predecessors of Nj
BRAND.
