PARIS. November 30.-The French,

Minister Bonar Law in London at the
end of next week for a discussion
preliminary to the Brussels financial
and reparations conference.
II Premier Poincare has his way
the allied statesmen will go direct
from London to Brussels and the con-
ference there will open by December
Is. The view in French official cir
cles is that public opinion in France
will not stand for further postpone
ment of the Brussels meeting and
that every days delay makes the
situation worse.
The provisional moratorium granted
to the Germans at the Paris confer
ence ends on December 81, another
on the old schedule. and the French
government Is unwilling to accept any
temporary makeshift.
Guarantees Demanded.
There is a disposition in France at
present to consider favorably a settle
ment whereby Germany would be
granted more time in which to pay.
provided she would give productive
guarantees as an assurance Of good
faith. The general opinion in political
circles is that NJ. Poincare has COM
mitted himself 50 far to a program
of vigorous action that, in the absence
Of such guarantees he will be obliged
to act or resign.
The plan of penalties discussed at
the recent meeting in the Elysee Pal
ace. although new only in the details
of execution. Is also likely to come up
at the London meeting. The regret
of the government at the full publicity
given the Elysee meeting Is said to
be due to the fact that 1t wished to
reserve the first full statement Of the
project for Mr.. Bonar Law.
