PO|NCARE'S SDEMAND
Says Franco-British Pact Yields

French high commissioner TO the Uni
ted States, and Lieutenant of Glenn
enceau during the peace negotiations
had been asked to take the ministry
of liberated regions. and that NJ. Tar
dieu would give his answer this after

II was officially stated that NJ. Poin-
care intends asking NJ. Sarraut. head
of the French delegation at the Wash
ington conference, to continue as
minister of the colonies.
Paris. Jan. 14.-Raymond Poincare,
selected by President Millerand to
form the new French Cabinet, gives
his views on the Cannes conference
in one of his regular articles in the
Revue Des Deux Mondes, appearing
today.
While not an absolute opponent OF
commercial negotiations with Russia,
NJ. Poincare does not approve of Civ
ing them "the solemn consideration
OF conference to which the chiefs
of all European governments are sum-
moned, those OF Russia and Germany
in the front rank" He continues:
Wilson was called an idealist and
a dreamer. The covenant OF the
League of Nations, however defective,
expressed at least some precise ideas
and in fact, despite the regrettable
detection Of the United States, that in
tention to render service. With the
Genoa conference we plunge into the
unknown"
With regard to reparations he
writes: 1T is much less important for
us 10 receive tomorrow two or three
hundred millions more than to assure
ourselves for later, Of maintaining
the total of our debt and the right TO
enforce its payment"
NJ. Poincare favors the Franco
British'pact, but on terms OF absolute
equality.
