quarters from Paris at the close OF
yesterdays cabinet session. Official
opinion is that the reparations issu.

thrown into confusion through the OIL
Iteration of the new line of political
and economic orientation which the
Cannes conference promised to de-
velop.
Official speculation appeared to
center around the predicament into
which Lloyd George was suddenly
placed through the loss of his dane

designated since the Cannes pourpar-
lers were opened.

TEXT OF ANGLO FRENCH
TREATY is MADE Publ IC
Binds England To Come To Assistance of France In Case of
Aggression By Germany

Paris, Jan. 13.-(By the Associated
Press. .)-Raymond Poincare, former
president of France. was seeking to-
day to form Il cabinet to succeed that
under the Aristide BRAND which re-
signed yesterday. The prevailing i'm
preston in political circles was that
he would complete his task and would
submit his list of ministers to Presi.
dent Millerand for approval early
this afternoon.
On the other hand it was recognized
that he would find many difficulties in
his path and that these might prove
formidable enough to force him to
abandon his assignment. The man.
ner of NJ. Brands dramatic exit while
on the apparent verge of an over
whelming vote of confidence in the
chamber of deputies. has caused a
certain reaction in his favor, and. be-
sides, NJ. POincare has strong op.
position in parliament. Neither is the
former president too popular with Il
large section of the general public.
Premier Lloyd George, when he
passes through Paris on his home
ward trip from Cannes, probably on
Sunday, will be asked to confer with
NJ. Poincare and President Millerand,
according to the Echo De Paris so
the two governments may keep in
close touch.
May Stop at Paris
Cannes, Jan. 13.-Prime Minister
Lloyd George will leave Cannes for
London at o'clock this evening. He
may, 1t is stated, stop in Paris en-
route to confer with President Miller.
and and with NJ Poincare. who is
forming cabinet to succeed the
BRAND ministry.
Comment on BRAND
Paris. Jan. 13.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. Premier Brands resigna-
tion seems to have caused regret
among the general public and in
many political circles. The attitude
of the majority of the press is fearly
accurately reflected in the following
excerpt from lie Journal:
His decision is doubly regrettable,
first because it deprives the country
in the midst of negotiations of a skill
tul man whose supple mind more than
once has avoided dangerous clashes,
and secondly because Brands declar-
ations have neither been debated nor
voted upon, nor a clear Indication as
to the views of parliament on the
views discussed at Cannes has been
made for his successor.
The newspapers of a nationalist
tendency, such as the Figaro and the
Echo de Paris, on the other hand, do
not conceal their joy at the resigna.
