Knocks Out Supreme Council
M. Poincare, after his lengthy con-
versation Saturday with the British
premier. Lloyd George. in statement
henceforth will be settled. as hereto
fore, through ambassadors.
This, in the expressed opinion of
the premier designate. would mean
the virtual disruption of the supreme
although he added:
'There must be one final meeting
should the French viewpoint prevail,
and / have good reasons to believe it
will SO far as Great Britain is con-
cerned.'
He thought there had been too many
meetings of the supreme council, and
ed way of dealing.
BRAND Allowed Social Call Only
The conference turned out to be
quite success for the new 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 DR.. Rathenau,
German representative
In consequence, NJ Briand's visit to
the British embassy was merely So
cial function, during which he had
brief informal talk with the British
premier. Mr.. Lloyd George did not
meet the Germans.
The British premier came here with
ratification of the policy of mora
forum for Germany tentatively grant
ed by the reparations commission, but
met with strong opposition from NJ.
Poincare, who argued that Germany
had not paid to the limit of her ca
pacity and that some means must be
found for tightening Frances burden.
MiIlerand Dodges Britisher
The conclusion in Belgian circles.
which have rallied to the British and
Italian views, is that France stands
alone on the reparations problems.
Mr.. Lloyd George has notified the
Elysee palace that he would like to
call on President Millerand, but the
latter had an engagement and suggest
ed an hour at time when the premier
was comforting with NJ. Poincare. 1t
was said by the British delegation that
Mr.. Lloyd George did not call at
Elysee palace as was customary on re-
ceipt Of an invitation. The official ex-
planation was that the protocol pro-
vides for visits from the heads of for
eign states only on invitation.

disappointment over the failure of Mr..
Lloyd George to meet President Miller

Theunys, and Foreign Minister Jasper
of Belgium, and also saw NJ. de Las
teyri, the new minister of finance in
the new Poincare cabinet, concerning
the central international conference
officially adopted by the Cannes con-
ference, to which M. Poincare is said
to agree.
German Law In Provinces Ends
Alsace-L Lorraine, the first time since
1870, will be administered so far as
justice is concerned, under the min
istry of Justice Bartou, M. Poincare
having decided that the redeemed prov
inces shall be treated like the old
eliminating German laws
and courts code. Elimination of two
ministers and four er-secretaries of
state is expected to prove a saving to
the French budget of seven million
francs.
