New York, Nov. 22. The report of United States Ambassador Herrick at Paris to Secretary Haghes in regard to the meeting of the Conference of Ambassadors on Monday is understood to state that Lord Crews de- clared that Britain hoped that France would give weight fully to the strious results of further separate action, which might imperil the existence of the Entente. If the French carried out such a policy of detance of British wishes, Great Britain might be inclined to with- 23 the raw its representatives from all inter-Allied, bodies such Conference of Ambassadors and the Military Control Commission. The Italian representative streügly supported the British attitude. The Belgian Ambassador declared be could not, without further refer ence to Brussels, commit Belgium to co-operation with France in fur- ther territorial, sanctions. The Ambassadors considered this to mean that Belgium was decided not to co-operate if Britain and Italy were determined in a formal rupture should France not yield. M. Cam- Ban then made the first important concession, declaring that France did not intended to take territorial sanctions. A draft of a Note on those lines as asked by Britain was then completed in two bours and approved by Premier Poincare.
Premier Baldwin and Lord Curzon on Tuesday objected to certain phrases as committing Britain too far to ultimate sanctions if Germany defied or ignored remonstrances. M. Poincare secepte? these amendments yesterday.
