'ALL AGREEMENTS
AT PARLEY STAND
Officials in Washington Are
Pleased by Assurances
Given by French.
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

Assurances from French delegation
sources that the resignation Of NJ.
BRAND and the change in French cab
met are not likely to invalidate any
of the agreements OF the Washington
has been party were received with
qualification in conference circles to-
day.
1t was explained that NJ Brands
course and that of the delegation to
the Washington conference under his
direction were not an issue and that
the adherence Of the delegation to
the four-power pact and the capital
ship ratio had not raised an issue in
French politics.
Possible Eject in Z. 8.
It is possible, however, that the
dramatic climax of NJ. Brands
leadership may have the effect Of
causing the United States to be more
deliberate in acting upon the invita-
tion to join the Genoa economic con-
ference. Indeed, the question is be-
ginning to be raised whether that
gathering may not be indefinitely
postponed. until French politics has
settled upon a different foundation.
President Harding's attitude from
the first has been one OF deliberation
about the economic conference. Weeks
ago he pointed out in his informal
talks upon the subject that the policy
of the United States toward an eco
nomic conference for the stabilization
of European affairs was to allow Eu-
rome to take the initiative. decide what
was desired to be done and for the
United States then to act, meantime
expressing full sympathy with the OBJ
jective.
Await Congress Authority.
Afterward the President added
that the United States could hardly
20 into such a conference until the
government had been equipped with
authority by Congress to handle. the
foreign debt question. The United
states comprehends that the debt set
Element must enter into any plan Of
european economic stabilixation and

out authority 60 send a delegate with
mower to propose or accede to sNg-
Eestions bearing thereon.
The near future holds the pbssi-
bility of Congress granting the execd-
tive branch wide latitude Of power in
terms for funding the deb, as the

program Of combining the soldiers

a name quite unlike "anything else on

a Continental star, who has never
visited this country and, hence, has
not been subjected to the grueIIing
interviews of American newspaper
men. Pola Negri won enviable fame
as the star of Passion" and she will
