PARIS, Jan. I'm. Poincare. who
has accepted the premiership to sue
ceed NJ. BRAND engaged in a lengthy
conversation today with the British
premier. What conclusion was
reached is not known, but M. Poin-
care, in a statement declared that
international questions henceforth
will be settled, as heretofore, through
ambassadors.
This, in the expressed opinion of
the premier designate, would mean
the virtual disappearance Of the su-
preme council. although he added:
There must be one final meeting
should the French viewpoint prevail,
and | have good reasons to believe
1t will so far as Great Britain is
concerned"
He thought there had been too
many meetings of the supreme coun-
ell. and he desired a return to the
old fashioned way Of dealings.
The conference turned out to be
quite success for the new premier.
according to the French view. as he
apparently convinced Mr.. Lloyd
George that 1t would be construed by
the French nation as unfortunate and
by himself as inimical to him per-
sonally should Mr.. Lloyd George meet
ex-Premier BRAND and DR.. Rathenau.
German representative.
In consequence. M. Brands visit
to the British embassy was merely
a social function. during which he
had brief informal talk with the
British premier. Mr.. Lloyd George
did not meet the Germans.
The British premier came here
with ratification of the policy of a
moratorium for Germany tentatively
granted by the reparations commis-
sion, but met with strong opposition
from NJ. Poincare. who argued that
Germany had not paid to the limit
of her capacity and that some means
must be found for tightening Frances
burden.
The conclusion In Belgian circles,
which have rallied to the British and
Italian views. Is that France stands
alone on The reparations problems.
Mr.. Lloyd George had notified
Elysee Palace that he would like to
call on President Millerand, but the
latter had an engagement and sug-
gested an hour which was the time
when the premier was comforting
with M. Poincare. 1t was said by
the British delegations that AIR. Lloyd
George did not callaat Elysee Palace.
as custom requires an invitation.
The official explanation was that the
protocol provides for visits from the
heads of foreign states only on invi-
tation.
