LONDON, June l9.-As sequel
to a meeting between Premiers
Lloyd George and Poincare here TO-
day another meeting Of European
governments, amounting in impor-
tance 10 an international conference,
will be held some time in the second
half of July, probably in London.
The meeting Of the Premiers was
aimed at ironing out present differ
ences between the two governments
and was Of the most cordial char.
aoter.
II was felt that many Of the ques.
tions taken up could not be brought
10 a decision without the aid Of other
powers and the enlarged meeting
was agreed upon. Az the outset
Poincare was able 20 tell Lloyd
George that his government would
take part in the conference at The
Hague without conditions other than
those laid down in recent notes
that the conference should be strictly
economic and non-politi-al and the
conclusions Of the representatives.
should be subject 10 the approval OK
their respective governments.
Plan to Review Hague Work
II Is hoped that enough progress will
be made at the Hague By the time tho
July meeting Is called 20 enable the
governments 10 review the wark dons

10 defer the whole matter until JUN

Near East Issue Postponed
The situation arising in the Ne1
East because q the suppressed ",
between Turkey and Greece was TAX
up, but this also went over for
