BRAND TO DEMAND
CONFIDENCE VOTE
French Premier Goes to Paris
TO Face Critics.
CONSERVATION At CANNES
Meeting Of Supreme Council May BE
Adjourned as Result Of New oeVel.
opment


Cannes, Jan. l2.-The deliberations
of the allied supreme council were
suddenly suspended on the announce
| ment by Premier BRAND that he was
Obliged to return to Paris to appear
| before the chamber of deputies, which
has just reaSsembled.
After long consultations with his
colleagues here the French premier
i decided he could scarcely 60 on with
negotiations of such far-reaching i'm
| portance as those now pending without
the strong support Of the French par
lament. He therefore decided to go
to Paris and have the question out
with the opposition.
Brands departure, coming immedi-
ately after the arrival Of the German
| delegation and simultaneously with
the giving out of the British memoran-
dunn on the Anglo-French treaty nego-
tiations, created an intense furry In
council circles. He expressed the hope
of being back in Cannes by Friday to
resume the negotiations here.
The general assumption Is that the
atmosphere of the chamber of depu-
ties on its reassembling was such as
to worry the premier. Two kilograms
came thin from parliamentary
groups protesting against what they
regarded as the sacrifices he was max
Ing here on the reparatlons Issue.
II the chamber should fall to in
dorse the premier's policy here the
British delegation could not remain
pending the formation Of new
French cabinet as TO the status OF the
negotiations here but, 1t is understood,
to meet and answer criticisms OF GER
tain groups of the opposition and to
demand that the chamber OF deputies
support or reject him.
The principal differences between
the premier and the opposition, 1t Is
learned, are with regard to the pew
terms Of payment by Germany adopted
by the councils experts, but not yet
ratified by the full council. France,
under these terms. would receive less
than under S-@viosr Tvangements,
greater Pc fTspsSTstlo6fs sra ssSlnd; sHaes-.,s.o1
q explain GSrmany's inability to meet
her January and February reparations
payments.
The allied supreme council ordered
this hearing as a result Of insistence
by Premier BRAND, who recalled that
the Germans had failed to give detail
I'D information sought by the commits
sion before the Christmas holidays as
q preliminary examination Of the ques-
zion of a moratorium for Germany.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and the
other members Of the council promptly
sgreed that the Germans should be
required to give the commission the
demanded explanations before they
gould be heard by the supreme coun-
dl.
The British memorandum Of the
proposed Anglo-French pact, which
vas telegraphed textually to London,
declares Great Britain makes the Sc
curity Of France a problem of her own,
and that she will be ready again to
throw in her forces. as in 1914, II

freight rate reductions are impossible

Until rates come down and railroad
expenditures for new construction

Most Of the existing economic de-

murder of William ID. TAYLOR inter-

Sands had been sought for several
months on complaint of forgery
made by Taylor,
The director charged that the but

name to a check and that money and
other valuables disappeared at the
same time.
The police adhered today to the
theory that Taylor was slain for re-

persons who apparently surprised
him in his home and shot him in the

riers-Naval Agreement to
Senate in Few Days

Washington, Feb. 5 (By "A. P)-
Preparatory to suspension of work
on the American capital ships to be
scrapped under the naval treaty,
President Harding has asked Secre-
tary DENLY to provide him immedi-
ately with full information as to the
status of the ships Under construc-
ton.
Although the President does not ex-
pect to take any affirmative step to-
wards scrapping the ships until all
the powers have ratified the treaty.
it is probable that there may be a
suspension of work on all of the pro-
scribed vessels within a few days.
1t was said at the White House to-
day that Mr. Harding expected to
submit the naval agreement and the
other treaties of the aims conference
to the senate within 4 very few days
after they are signed. He has not de-
cided whether to take them to the
capitol in person.
Plans of the navy Department, so
far as known, are for suspension of
construction work on those ships to
be strapped under the navak lmita-
ton treaty pending ratification OF the
treaty. Contracts for the building of
the vessels would not be cancelled, it
was indicated until the limitation pact
became effective.
