FRENCH PRESS IS
 HARSH IN ATTACK
Lloyd George Is Especially Criticized For Methods At Cannes
 Conference

Paris, Jan. '. (By Associated Press) - Disappointment and skepti- cism were the midest emotions aroused in France by the first days developments at the supreme coun- cil's conference in Cannes, judging from the press comment. L'Eclaire, which is generally credited with rep resepting Premier Briand, says.
 "Mr. Lloyd George has spoken. He leads the way and the representatives of the allies follow as subject fol- lows a hypnotist. As he had announc- ed he subordinated the question of separations to that of the reconstruc- ton of Europe so that Germany can find in Russia the money she owes us. It is a well known proceeding. It is that followed by all financial adven- turers. When the company is un- able to meet its obligations a new one is formed in which the capital of the old one is drowned"
 The newspaper concludes:
 "The plot is well designed. We are put to sleep so Lloyd George can strip us at his leisure.
 The Pan-German concert is always up to strength; if we give up the Rhine, Alsace Lorraine will be re- quired of us tomorrow in the name of paciflcism."
 The Figaro organ of conservative opinion remarks:
 "rhe first results at Cannes are frankly bad. Lloyd George wins cas- fly all along the line. A great finan- cial and economic conference is to be called at Turin or Genoa, where the French premier may exchange views on the reconstruction of Europe with Lenine and Dr. Wirth. Meanwhile the inhabitants of our so-called lib- erated regions continue to live in their huts."
