FARlS, Jan. 28.-Circum stuntial re-
ports, cmanating from the Washington
correspondent of "Thc London Morning
fost,' that President Harding and Sec
retury OF State Hughes had refused 30
receive Ambassador Jusscrand, were
widely circulated in Paris to-day and
resulted in Premier Poincare cablinr
the ambassador for details, though
french oficiadom placed small Gre.
dcncc in the reports.
While the press here is handling tho
supposed rebuff TO the veteran am
Dassador at Washington in "a spirit Of
"noollet, the report nevertheless has
served to stir up suspicion again that
inalevolcnt anti-Irench propaganda is
at work in the United States. The
temps gives prominence tonight to
an editorial expressing regret ut the
circulation Of such a story, and add
ing the hope that France always will
nave a representative ut Washington
VINO mas the ear of officials qualified to
give them an understanding of The real
sl'uatlon. IL adds: "Furthcrm ore, not
only should the diplomats make an ef-
fort to understand one another, but the
peoples should also. Commentaries in
the American press in the past two
months show that the true situation Of
france ls unknown on the other side of
the Atlantic and nor real intentions
arc mteinterpreted."
Pleads for Understanding
The "Temps" remarks that the
French press is unable to correct ',his
condition because it is virtually urrc5.d
in Americe, but it hopes it will be pos
slble for Americas own prcoccupatiors
TO be understood, and that henccforth

taxes to be made (which hurt Franco

This newspaper believes that the
GenoA conference is creating. an en-
barrassng situation for the American
government because Of American pub
lie opinion, which does not understand
European affairs. "Thc Soviet govern
ment has been iv.vitcd to Genoa on the
same footing VIII. the other govern

the reconstruction of Europe without
thinking of the debts Of certain Euro
