Paris. Jan. 23.
The French Government has not yet
sent a note to England regarding the
forthcoming Genoa conference. The
notes already sent to London merely
concern the proposed Anglo-Frcnch
alliance and the underlying question
of Angora and Tangier. The exact
position which the Poincare Govern
ment is TO take respecting Genoa re-
mains to be defined by the Cabinet,
which holds a meeting with President
Millerand tomorrow.
It was indicated tonight that the
Government will send a note not only
to England but to all the Powers par
ticipating in the Cannes conference,
asking them to agree that the Ger
mans and the Soviets shall not be per-
mitted to participate in any Of the dis
cussions in Genoa unless they show
clearly that they have accepted the
principles set forth in the resolution
in Cannes when 1t was decided to issue
the invitations. the extent OF Frances
participation In the Genoa meeting
Being reserved until answers to these
notes are received.
The official invitation to the Govern
mems to be represented In Genoa do
not mention conditions. and Frances re-
quest, II adhered to, will confront the
Italian Government, IL would seem. with
some embarrassment after having In
vted the nations to be its guests at
Genoa without conditions.
II Is very evident that the French
Government is hoping that the United
States. IL not naming the same condi-
tions as France. will require certain
guarantees before accepting the invita-
ton to Genoa. which Will put tho two
nations In much the same position re-
specting the conference.
Although the note which France viii
send regarding the Genoa conference
will demand that the treaty OF Ver-
sallles Itself no. be discussed at Genoa.
yet. apparently. the Paris Government
would like to see Genoa used to get the
United States TO aid Germany finan-
cially TO fulfill the tcrms of the treaty
without being allowed to question them.
There Is little chance that France. TO
secure the participation of the United
states, will agree TO any modification
Of her demands regarding Gernany's
compliance with the treaty terms in ad-
vance of the Genoa meeting. on the
contrary, should the United states de-
cline the invitation through dissa,lsfac-
tion with Frances attitude the French
Government probably would stiffen It's
attitude toward the conference.

continuation of the conversations with
Great Britain concerning the proposed
Anglo French pact are known to be d.
rected toward a lengthening OF the du-
ration of the pact, probably period
Of twenty-five years. and to the inclu-
sion of reciprocity IN military action,
so that France would be obligated to go
TO the aid Of Great Britain. thus estab-
fishing the basis of equality In the pact
