Bv FRANK H. SIMONDS.

While the conference has mo-
mentarily subsided into that neces-
sary routine preceding the next
plenary session, the attention Of
foreign and American representa-
tiVes has turned toward Cannes. 1t
is recognized that upon the issue Of
the debate there between the prime
ministers of France and Great
Britain hangs the fate of any effort
at general reconstruction in the
world at the presnt moment. II
Great Britain and France find a ba-
sis Of cooperation the pathway TO
real peace will be clearer than at
any moment since the armistice. II
-tnfiict and no cooperation results,
the outlook. economic even more
than political. will be bleak in the
extreme
Yet among the foreigners here
one hears on all sides words Of
caution. words of warning against
great expectations of any immedf-
ate solution. Anglo-French rcla-
uons are more aggravated now than
they have been at any time since
Fashoda, when there was actual
talk of an Anglo French war. No
one is now talking about such a
thing as war. but the bitterness on
both sides Of the Channel has
reached the hiEh-wster mark.
VIII Stress Americs's View.
Events at the Washington con-
ference arc likely to play 4 con-
siderable part on the Riviera. Great
Britain and France have fought q
battle in the United States for
American approval. Temporarily. at
least. the French defeat has been
complete. British diplomacy. has
been more successful than ever in
recent history and the measure of
this success is seen in the contem-
porary alienation of American SYM
pathy from Franc.
1t is clear then that Lloyd George
will play the card Of America in
Cannes for all that il is worth. He
will make every possible effort to
use the present isolation of France
as convincing argument for
French abandonment Of an indepen-
dent policy and a return to British
direction. For three years France
has been more and more steadily
escaping from British leading
strings and insisting upon her
rights as a great power. The su-
preme test of her post-bellum pol
icy is now to come.
Brands Position shuky.
But even IL one assumes that NJ.
BRAND would like to yield TO Brit
ish demands and was willing TO ac-
cept a British solution for world
problems, his situation is not sim
pie. Last summer, when France
and Great Britain were at the point
of breaking over the Upper Silesian
mess. BRAND was driven by his own
parliament to refuse the British
policy. His interview with Lloyd
George on that occasion remains a
landmark in recent history. In that
interview he fatty refused to bow
to Lloyd George, and the result was
the reference OF the whole Upper
Silesian dispute to the league Of
nations.
Had BRAND yielded over Upper
Silesia. he would have fallen. But
il is hardly less clear that II now
he makes any real concession to
Great Britain in the matter of the
submarine: in the matter OF repa-

|. May Meet mt Copenhagen.
Premiers, cabinet members, tech.
nical experts, and swarms of as
sistants have now arrived, empha-
sizing by their numbers the i'm
portance of the supreme council
meeting. especially where it is con-
cerned with the proposed consor-
tium and the all European eco-
nomic conference.
Copenhagen has already beer
mentioned as the possible scene OF
the proposed PAN European finan.
cial gathering.
There is keen speculation on the
possible trend of events during the
early days of the supreme council
gathering. 1t is rumored that Lloyd
George plans to spring bombsbell
after the nature of Secretary
Hughes speech at Washington, by
revealing some gigantic plan fol
the economic reconstruction of the
world.
Await French Oner.
This belief is supported by the
unusual size and strength of the
British delegation. which includes
besides the premier, Winston
Churchill, Lord Curzon, Sir Robert
Horne, and Sir Lamar Worthingtor
Evans. with Sir Basil Blackett, Sir
John Bradbury, and Sir Robert Kin
dersley-an especially able trio of
financiers-as an advisory commits
sion.
The British are kcenly interested
In the possibility of French pro-
posals for an alliance, but will
await the disclosure of what France
has to offer in return for such All
association before responding to any
indirect suggestions. 1t is believed
that the Willingness of BRAND 10
form such an alliance means that
France is ready to make ample
concessions to gain the point.
