POINCARE NAMES
FRENCH CAB|NE. 7
Former President Announces
Members of New Government.
MAY END ALLIED COUNCIL
British and French Premiers Want to
Return to the "old-Fashioned"
Method Of Disposing of Dis
putes Between Countries.

Paris Jan. 16.-M. POincare, who
has accepted the premiership TO sue
ceed NJ BRAND and completed his cab
inet, engaged in a lengthy cOnversa-
ton with the British prime minister,
who came to Paris from Cannes.
What conclusion the heads of the
two governments reached is not known,
correspondents, declared 'internatiOn-
al questions hencefOrth will be settled,
as heretofore, through ambassadors"
This, N the expressed opinion OF
the premier designate, would mean the
virtual disappearance Of the supreme
council, although be added: There
must be one final meeting of the SUI
preme council, to which, all the allies
should be invited should the French
viewpoint prevail, and have good
reasons to believe that it will so far
as Great Britain is concerned. Let
Ms have our ambassadors settle these
Questions for US"
Wants "old-Fashioned Way"
M. Poincare thought there had been
too many meetings of the supreme
council, to various accomplishments,
and he declared a return to the old
fashioned way OF dealing between ma
tons
MY meeting with Mr.. Lloyd
George" he said, was most amiable.
We got along finely together"
The conference turned out to be
quite a success for the new French
premier, according to the French view,
as he apparently convinced Mr. Lloyd
George that it would be construed by
the French nation as unfortunate, and
by himself as inimical TO him person
ally should Mr.. Lloyd George meet
ex-Premier BRAND and Doctor Rattle
nau, the German representative.
In consequence of this, NJ. Brands
visit to the British embassy was mere
~ social function. He had cup of
tea with Lord Hardinge, the British
ambassador, and brief informal talk
with the British prime minister. Mr..
Lloyd George did not meet the Ger
mans.
The British premier came to Paris
with ratification of the policy of mo-
ratOrium for Germany tentatively
granted by the PREPARATIONS commission
but met with strong opposition from
Nj. POincare, who argued that Ger
many had not paid to the limit of her
capacity and that some reason must
be found for Tightening Frances bur-
den. He told Mr.. Lloyd George that
Germany should be called upon to i'm.
pose heavier taxation, equivalent per
head to the French, otherwise there
could be no talk of a moratorium.
= The conclusion in Belgian circles
which have rallied to the British and
Italian views, is that France stands
alone on the reparation problems.
