A THOUGH Poincare and Lloyd
u George exchanged honey-worded
notes of esteem and assurance OF cor
dial desire to resuihe examination of
the questions at issue between their
governments, the new French premier
took a firm stand in his ministerial
declaration made to the chamber OF
deputies Wednesday. He said the
government was determined to base its
foreign policy on the Versailles treaty,
and was anxious to maintain and con-
solidate its alliances. Germany, he
insisted, must make up It's mind to ful-
fill the obligations 1t undertook at Yer
sailles. Before agreeing to take part
in the Genoa conference, he said,
France must have guarantees from the
soviet government of Russia. In talk
ing to correspondents, NJ. Poincare
said he would not so to Genoa; that
French business men might meet Ger
man and Russian business men there,
but that France desired that the Genoa
conference should not be the means of
Bolshevik propaganda in Europe.
The Russians are every enthusiastic
over the Genoa meet and already have
announced the list of their delegates.
1t is headed by Premier Lenin, whose
place will be taken by Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin if the chief cannot go;
the other members are all prominent In
the soviet government. Leon Trotzky,
however, does not think the confer
ence can be success unless the Unit
ed States participates and takes the
lead. He adds that Russia favors gen.
eral disarmament, but it is Skeptical
of France.

There is belief in France that the
