FRANCE AND BELGIUM ARE NOT YET AGREED Differences Arise as to the Method of Applying
 Dawes Report
By The Associated PIess.

By The Associated Piess.
 Paris, April oS.-Differences in the French and Belgian viewpoints over the method Of procedure in applying the report of the reparation experts developed in a conferences here today in which Premier Theunis and For eign Minister Hymans of Belgium and Premier Poincare of France partici- pated.
 We shall be obliged to talk dis cuss and reason before our viewpoints which are in no way irreconcilable, can be made to agrec," said state ment from Belgian sources just after the luncheon this noon.
 Secrecy surrounded the meeting be- tween Premier Poincare and the Bel gian premier and foreign minister. The luncheon, however, assumed the character of a general meeting of Franco Belgian authorities, political, economic, commercial and military. Marshal Foch and President Barthou, of the reparation commission were among those present.
 In the conference Nm. Theunis and Hymans outlined the Belgian view points. urging that all speed possible be made 10 realize the suggestions Of the experts. The Belgians argue that only the promptest realization Of the experts plan will create a good im- pression upon the outside world, tired as it Is of haggling and the COL tinnous holding Of conferences. Their idea is that the allies must agree as soon as possible and without restric- tions or provisions. Premier Poin- care, however. is said to he not so in- sistcnt upon speeding up the settle ment now that the date of the French elections is SO near at hand.
 Premier Theunis will leave for Brussels this evening. but Prime Minister Hymans will remain behind and probably will meet NJ. Polncare tomorrow.
