IN FOnR-H0uR CONVERSATION
Reach Full Understanding Regarding
the General Lines Of the Franco,
British Treaty. ~.

Boulogne, France. -, Agreement to
the postponement of the Genoa eco
nomic conference until April 10 was
reached by Premier Poincare and
France and Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain at their con-
ference here. The conference orig
inally was called to meet March s,
Mr.. Lloyd George said after the
conference there would be no neces-
sity for further discussion of the
Franco-British pact as both parties
were entirely agreed as to all it's es-
sentials and that the pact would be
ready for signature in few days.
The two premiers by theft meeting
broke the deadlock into which brief
trial OF long-range discussion after the
old diplomatic style appeared to- have
led them on questions concerning the
Genoa conference. This was accom-
plished in a four-hour conversation
during which they reached full un-
derstanding not only as to the condi-
tons under which the Genoa gather.
ing should be held and it's postpone
ment until April 10, but also regard
ing the general lines Of the Franco
British paot
There is nothing further to be dis.
cussed about the pact" Mr.. Lloyd
George said after his interview with
NJ. Poincare. I'VE are in perfect
agreement on all the essential points,
and the document will be ready for
signature in few days"
The question as to whether dis
armament would be discussed at Ge-
noa was not mentioned. Both parties
expressed great satisfaction at the re.
suits Of their talk. Premier Poincare
left for Paris and Mr.. Lloyd George
motored off on his return Journey
about the same time.
The official communique issued af.
ter the conference read:
: "Messrs. Poincare and Lloyd George
met in four-hour talk, during which
they examined in a most cordial spirit
a certain number OF problems, .particu-
larly relating to Genoa.
"They agreed on the political guar
antees to be secured in order to pre-
vent ,encroachments either on the
rights Of the League of Nations, or on
the treaties signed since the peace con.
ference or the rights of the allies in
reparations.
THE experts Of the different pow
ers will meet in London soon and the
Italian Government will be asked to
call the Genor conference for April 10.
"A complete understanding was
reached and two premiers carried
away with them the certainty that the
entente may confidently be expected
to produce the best results. and that
there are ne difficulties OF a political
character that stand in the way Of the
two nations working"
