WASHINGTON. Feb. To- The
attitude Of France toward the pro-
posed economic and financial con-

resulted in further postponing the
decision of this government on the

learned Friday in official circles. Ac-
cordlng TO an announcement at the
white house last Tuesday, Amer
ica's reply TO the invitation which
was received some weeks ago from
the premier OF Italy. was to have
been made public Friday.
The request of Premier Poincare
Of France that the conference be
postponed at least three months so
that more careful advance prepare
tons could be made, il was under
stood, was received here during the
day. This caused a furry in diplo-
matte circles and at first IL was said
the text Of Premier Poincare's re-
quest would be made public. Later
the state department denied that
the proposal had been received.

Belief prevailed in official quarters
today that the action OF the French
premier had forestalled any reply
