CANNES, January II. - Premier
BRAND will leave Cannes for Paris at
3 o'clock this afternoon, 1t was an
nounced this morning. not only to In
form the French cabinet as to the
status Of the negotiations here, but,
it is understood, to meet and answer
criticisms Of certain groups Of the
opposition and to demand that the
chamber Of deputies support or re-
ject him. :
The principal differences between
the premier and the opposition, It Is
learned. are with regard to the new
terms OF payment by Germany adopt
ed by the councils experts, but not
yet ratified by the full council. France
unoer these terms would receive less
than under previous arrangements,
but q greater proportion in kind.
