PARIS, Jan. lS-Thc Poincarc gov
crnmcnt now is engaged in an active
interchange OF views with WASHINGTON
relative to the policy TO be pur-
sued at the Genoa economic confer
ence. Frances determination to enter
the conference with complete freedom
OF action and her insistance that there
be preliminary guarantees from Rus
sla and Germany before they arc per-
mlttcd to attend have been explained
to the American State Department,
with tho intimation that France is de-
sirous that the United States join her
in This policy
exchange of views has gone the belief
grows stronger here that the United
States VIII be present at Genoa, posi-
bly, ready TO support the French point
OF view that neither the Soviet gov
ernment nor Germany ought to be al
lowed to hold absolutely unqualified
positions at the council table, face to
face with the Allied nations.
Holds Some BRAND Views
Premier Poincare not only desires
strict adherence to the conditions ac.
companying the invitations as laid
wishes also to avoid the interjection
of doctrines and subjects foreign to
the program.
W hile the new Prcmier's declaration
of his ministerial policy will be made
in the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow
1T is possible tonight to outline the
mann points on which his declaration
VIII rest. In some respects the new
French government follows out the
BRAND policy, especially in it's keen
desire FOR close alliance with Great
Britain and strict execution of the
treaty signed by Germany.
In these points Poincarc will be
wholly in agreement with Premier
Lloyd George, whose cordial MESSAGE ssiIr
to Poincare yeste rday emphasized the
interest of both nations that France
shall be guaranteed against German
aggression, as we'll as be assured con-
sent to the maintenance of the stipula-
tlons of the Versailles Treaty.
To Insist on Restoration
The French Premier tomorrow will
outline his policy of close cooperation
with the other Allies and the United
States. The Tribune correspondent un-
derstands he will make a special point
that the restoration of Frances dew
astated regions must be a part of any
program of European reconstruction,
and, while admitting that all nations
have much to rebuild in the way of
finance and trade as a result of the in
direct consequences Of the war; prior
ity must be given those nations which
have suffered devastation as a direct
consequence of the war
Poincarc is expected to declare that
the moral viewpoint must henceforth
play d greater role, and that while
some nations have rights others have
duties. In this the Premier will refer
not only to Germany's material but
moral obligations.

correspondents:

to make up its mind. 1t is big enough
