Cannes, Jan. 6th.—Definite action, looking to the rehabilitation of Europe from an economic standpoint, was taken at the first session of the Allied Supreme Council here today, when unanimous approval was given for the calling of an international, financial and economic conference, in which Germany and Rus- sia are to have a part. Some time during the first two weeks of March has been set for the momentous gathering and Genoa, Italy, has been designated as the place where it shall be held. An invita- tion to the United States to participate has been extended to the United States Ambassador to Great Britain, who is here as official observer for his Govern- ment. Russia’s participation in the Genoa conference is conditioned upon acceptance of a number of conditions, namely, that she cease Bolshevik pro- paganda abroad, that she undertake not to attack the neighbours and that she 31, LHY 1A A YVilos recognize all the honourable obligations entered into by preceding Russian (Gov- ernments. Mr. Lloyd George took the most prominent part in the deliberations, speaking for an hour. In his opinion 2 time for decisive aciion has been reach- ed if the economic structure of Europe is to be saved. Desecribing the present meeting of the Supreme Council as the most important since the Armistice, he declared that the public opinion of the world demanded that the Allies take wider responsihilities to revive Europe. The Prime Minister sounded a warning that the Allies themselves must solve ihe problem of rehabilitating Europe e ono- mically, and he aypealed to them to for- get their prejudices and cooperate with thisend in view. Mr. Lloyd George made sharply pointed references to the French claims growing ouat of ithe war. He said the Bri*';sh were -equaily e ‘itled to put forth claims, since their toxes: as the result of the war, are twice as heavy as those of any other country. '{he re- mark of the British Prime Minister that most impressed the delegates wes his reference to the prejudice that might exist againsi entering into relations with the Soviet Government, because it had blood upon its hands, but he declared: *'l know a couniry which quite recently took the hand of an assassin in the near East””. The passage was immediately translated for M. Bri. nd who first smiled at the reierence to the Angora treaty between France and the Turkish Nation- alists, and then retorted, ‘‘Yes, but we made his acquaintance in London’’. Peking, Jan. Tth.—Relations between the Chinese Government and the British Legation here interrupted because of the Amoy incident, have not been resumed and it is hinted in official circles that the recall of the British Minister may be re- quested. british official circles here is unperturbed but a boycott is feared by the commercial community if relations are not resumed. The Amoy incident, referred to in the above despatch, proba- bly was that of early last month in which a boycott was declared by the Chinese against the English firm of Butterfield and Swire at Amoy, following consider- able friction in regard to the British con- cessions fhere. St. Lucia, Jan, Bth.—H. M. S. ‘‘Vale- rian’’ with Major the Hou. Edward Wood M. P. and party arrived 4 p. m. The visi- tors were received by H. H. the Admin- istrator, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils and a reception com- mittee composed of leading citizens at ten a. m. tomorrow, the executive com- mittee of the representative Government Association will wait -upon Major Wood at Government Office and at 2p. m. ad- dresses of welcome will be presented to him by various public bodies on Colum- bus Square. Paris, Jan. 7th.—Disappointment and _scepticism were the mildest emotions aroased in France by the first day's devel- opments at the Supreme Council confer- ence at Cannes, judging from the press comments. ‘'L’Exlair’’which is gene- rally credited with representing Premier Briand, s=vs: “Mr. Lloyd George has spoken. He leads the way and the re- presentatives of the Allies {ollow, as a subject follows the hvpnotist. As he has announced, he subordinated the ques- tion of reparations o that of recvastruc- tion of Europe, so that Germany can find in Russia the inoney she owes us.”” The Figaro, organ of conservative opinion, remarks thet the first results at Cannes are frankiy bad. Mr, Lloyd George wins easily all along the line. A great finan- cial ard economic conference is to be called at Turin or Genoa, where the French Premier way exchangs views on the reconstruction of Kurope with Lenine and Dr. Wirth. Meanwhile the inhabi- tants of our so-called liberal regions cor- tinue to live in their huts. Jacques Bain- ville, a well known writer ou foreign politics, commen's in a4 milder tone, but is equally sceptical over what he says is the inaction of France. Mr. l.loyd George’s speech bristles with grataitous hypothesis, writes 3. Bainville. Cannes, Jan. Bth. -M. Briand and Mr., Lloyd Gesrze today had their first talk on the future rveiations between Fraunce and Great Britain since they have been at Cannes. It is understood that they went over broadly the principal ques- tions, this being necessary to settle the order and form the basis of 1 eloser en- tente, pact, or alliance. - . Cannes, Jan. Bth. -The pew: of the ratification of the Irish peace treaty was received with the greatest satisfaction by the British delegation to the Allied Supreme Council. The small majority was regarded as satisfaciory, under the circumstances and giving assurance that the terms of the treaty will be carried out. Mr. Lloyd George declined to make a formal statement regarding the rati- fication. He merely said that he was highly pleased. Dublin, Jan. Bth.—By a majority of seven votes, 64 to 57, the Dail gave its approval on Saturday to the document signed by its delegates at London., The news was received with the greatest enthusiasm and the patient erowds which had waited for hours outside the univer- sity building in anticipation of a decision, burst into cheering even before the offi- cial figures were announced. A tense strained silence prevailed while the vote was being taken, an® a gasp of relief went up frem the supporters of the trea- ty when the result was announced. A dramatic scene ensied when De Valera ~stood up, and in broken voice, which vibrated with emotion, declared that “the Republic”” must be carried on, Gventually he broke down so completely that he was unable to proceed. The Dail Eirann with one accord applauded and cheered him. On the announcement of the figures, Mr. De Valera immedi-
