GENOA CONFERENCE.

BANQUE INDUSTRIELLE. ›

Paris, Feb. 10 The French Government has wired its representativen abroad, for transmission to foreign cabinets, a note on the forthcoming Genoa Conference. The note insists apan the expediency of the Allied Governments agreeing beforehand - about the Conference's scope, pointing out that the programme drafted at Cannes involves momentous principles, whose mistaken interpretation would have far-reaching consequences. The various treaties issued from the Peace Conference are New Europe's Magna Charta, and France. eannot accept their being called into question. The forthcoming Conference thus calls for a preliminary understanding, entailing preparatory work of some three months duration.—Havas.

Paris, Feb. 11.

Conversations are proceeding of a most friendly tone between the French and British Governments about the data and programme of the forthcoming Genoa Conference. France is insisting upon a defnite programme being drafted beforehand, which means the Con- ference being postponed for a couple of months, whereas Britain wants it to open at the beginning of March. According to L'Echo de Paris, M. Poincare also insists on an invitation being extended to the League of Nations. At any rate, Parliament is unanimous in support of.M. Poincare's viewpoint-Hara.
