 The conference in a sense was { formal one, in that Britain is pur suing it's own course and Simon, ir his Berlin talks, will not hay, power to commit either France ol Italy.
 But France and Italy insisted stoutly that Britain must make nc concessions encouraging Germany to further treaty violation. They were united in this more closet, than they have been on any inter- national problem in years.
 France and Italy want a solit three-nation front against Ger many's repudiation of the Yer sailles treaty, and to make sur' that in the big conference it i hoped eventually to hold that Ger, many will not enter with he claims already conceded.
 They were prepared to threatel Germany, it was indicated, with ring of potentially hostile nation! in event the Nazi goyernm an proved recaIcitrant.
 There were 12 men at the frs, conference today, as follows:
 France - Laval, Leger, Rene Massigli. permanent delegate tc the League of Nations; Jean Pau Boncour. league expert; Paul Bar. teton. chief of the European sec. ton of the foreign office and M Rochat, Lavals chief of staff.
 Britain-Eden, clerk, R. H Campbell, minister in the British embassy; and William Strang league expert.
 Italy-Suvich and Signor Guar. oni, secretary.
 At lunch time the meeting wal enlarged. LavaPs guests included Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin Edouard Herriot, minister withou, portfolio and left wing leader: tho presidents of the senate and cham. Der of deputies foreign affairs com. missions, and additional experts. l,
 It was regarded as significant that Finance Minister Germain. Martin was called into the defenst council meeting. He was in the cHulilDeT Ol ucputleS Wuen ne Was called, and he left hurriedly. Il was his job to tell the counci means of financing the cost of en- larging the army and increasing the stores of war materials.
 The United Press learned that Anthony Eden, Britain's negotiatol in the three-power conference, was charged with the mission of toninl down Frances angry reaction tc German armament.
 Britain fears that the increasing gravity of the situation may en- courage the little entente nations Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Jug oslavia-to start plans for mobili- zation, to be announced if Hun gary or Bulgaria follows Ger many's example in defying the peace treaties.
 r It was understood that Eden said that Sir John simon must have the confidence of France and Italy at Berlin, and that If an inn moderate attitude was maintained he might refuse to attend the planned meeting of foreign minis ters at Como.
