' TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIX STATION. Faris Dec. 19th. Premier C(lemen- ceau, who has been confined to his home for several days because of the broken rib he sustained during his recent trip to £ngland, resumed work today in his office at the Ministry of War. This morning he received there M. Klotz, the Minister of Finance. and M. Loueseur, the Minister of reccnstruction. lLondon, Dec. 19th.-- Premier Nitti of Ttaly, has been invited to meet Premier 'Lloyd George, Premier Cle- meaceau, and possibly an American rerresentative, in the course of a fev' days, it was announced by Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Com- mons today. An effort to settle the question of Fiume is the purnose of the meeting, he said. The Premier said, in the course of his speech that there was complete agreement among the Allies on the question of non-inter- vertion in Russia, but that discussions were proceeding between the United States and Japan, concerning future ac- tior: in the Bolshevik advance should it reach to any considerable degree east- wards. Mr. Lloyd George said it was imjossible to make peace with Russia, anc, he added, they must summon a na- tior.al assembly based on a broad fran- chise that would represent something with which the Allies could make peace. The Premier aid the agreement to guar- antze France against wanton agression, wa: subject to ratification by the United Sta‘es on that particular point. 1f the United States should n~t raticy the guar- ant=e to France, he stated, Great Britain would be free to reconsider her position. The Premier began by defending a cer- tain reticence in negotiation, instancing the danger of drop ing a word ca culated to kindle inflammable opinion in ltaly regarding Fiume, but contendad that this was not seeret diplomac and point- ed out that the publicity given to all decisions of the Paris Conference vwas unprecedsnted. With reference to he Anglo-American-French Conven- tions, he said that the British had giv>n no undertaking on the subjzct, for the simple reason that it could not imag- ine that the United States would dishon- our the signature of its great repiesenta- tive. He admitted that for Great Bri- tair to undertake the charge alone, wonld be a serious obligation, which he wold not enter upon without the con- sen: of Parliament. Adding to his Rus- siar statement, he said, it was a dismal prospeet, but they could only keep a vigi- lant wateh until Russia issued from its present darkness with a stable govern- ment to carry on negotiations. London, Dec. 19th.—Sir George Pash, the Financial Authority, writing to the “‘Giobe’’, says Great Britain’s export to the ~ountries, from which both France and Great Britain must buy, are entirely in- adequate to the needs of the British and Freneh people. '‘Consequently’’, he | writes, ‘‘the corrollary te the London ' Conterence between Freniiers Clemen- . ceau and Lloyd George is a turther con- . ference in America between those of the . two States-men and President Wilson. | Sir George points cut that Great Britain ' has no surplus to lend, but says the Uni- | ted States has a surplus ot irom 800,000, . 000 pounds to one billion pounds to lend | yearly. Until this surplus is placed at | European disposai ¢n coraiticns thai i enable Eurcpe tc obtain It, Le jadds, Eu- | ropean exchange n.ustccntinue to fali’’. . "‘After a further conference at Washing- . ton”’, he says, ""another world conterence | will be needed in order that Furcpe nay | obtain ecredit with whick to buy the . surplus produets, not cnly of the United | States, but all Ithe other ccuntries. At | the confererce, arrangements will have | to be made, not generally ior raising | this ecredit, but tor its redemption’’. | Washington, Lec. 18th.--Secretary ot | State, Mr. Lansing, in a letter to Senztor .
