sia minutely before the questions in
volved can be discussed intelligenily,
and he is certain that the Soviets will
refuse 70 grant such permission. The
Foreign Ofice gave out the opinion
that unless the greatest procauiion is
taken before hand in tho discussions
the Soviets arc likely 20 spring some
unpleasant surprises similar 20 those
experienced AZ Genoa. Officials 40 tho
Foreign Ofiicc deny that the Russians
accepted the Cannes principles, and
they are willing 20 show ENGLAND
dozens Of proofs that tho Soviets re-
pudiatcd these ideas completely.
Next week. while visiting London,
Poincare hopes n settle many dis
puted questions with Lloyd George, but
he is convinced that the only method
OF dealing with the Soyiets IS 20 s't
tight. He thinks that further develop
ments will show the wisdom OF TINS
course.

PARIS, June 70 by The Associated
Press).-The French note says in part:
The French government Is glad to
know that the British government
shares its view that the Hague confer
ence will be one Of experts not author
lied 70 take decisions without referring
them to their respective governments
and not plenipotcntiaries,' says the
reply. but other powers have inter
preted the minutes OF the Genoa meet
ing Of May II otherwise and have de-
cided to send plenipotentaries TO the
Hague.
Preliminary Plan Essential
"The discussions AZ Genoa have
shown that fundamental divergencies
exist between the Allies on many ina
portant points Il is not reasonable 10
appear before the Soviet delegates
without n concerted plan. They have
shown at Genoa how well they im-
proved every opportunity 10 proht by
the slightest difference between the
Allies. Several other powers under
stand that there should be prelimi-
nary agreement between the Allies be-
fore meeting the Russians.
THE French suggestion that the
OF May II should be
withdrawn previous 20 the meeting OF
the experts would have had the merit
OF avoiding all ambiguity, but II II is
declared that this document IS an
nullcd by the minutes OF the plenary
session OF the Genoa conference. that
il will be ignored By the Hague eN-
merits and that IL the Russians INVOKE
IL il will not be countcrnanced, y IS
evident that in fact such a procedure
Is indirectly equivalent 10 withdrawal
- 4he r,enorarium
THE French government, as well as
the British, considers that case aris-
ing in the Hague conference must be
absolutely governed BY the Cannes
because in documents sue

soviets theys> deliberately departed m

tions. 20 which the French government
insists upon the necessity Of adhering.
Insists on Restoration
Concerning private property the
French government recognizes me

made use Of. but subject 20 just IN
demnity. which the Soviet government
in its present situation is not capable
OF assuring, except in a few limited
cases. Such compensation orered
