In this conversation tho French atti

of tho Entente, and, second, on strict
execution of the treaty of Versailles.
The French, although declaring them
selves not satisfied with some of tho
terms of the trtaty, accepted it as finally

charter as rerards relations with Ger

considers It rather as a sort of elastic
basin of settlement of European affairs
which Is capable of divers modifications.
Conciliation of these viewpoints will
be the object of the ensuing conversa

will probably ask Great Britain whether
she stands for the execution of tho
treaty.
