By Teleijraub—Press assocrition-poDyrrr / Australian ana I>.Z. U»Dl* Association Rec April 10, j London, April 7 The Daily Chrohicle’s Paris correspondent says the meeting of Mr Lloyd George and M. Poincare, which will be known as the wagon lit conference, proved most cordial. Mr Lloyd George laughingly assured M. Poincare that in spite of whatever the French papers said he still represented the English democracy. He added that if the Genoa Conference proved abortive, owing to French recalcitrancy, it would do France much damage in England. He begged M. Poincare to weigh well the consequences of a negative or passive attitude. M, Poincare replied that Mr Lloyd George could rely on France’s cordial support while the terms of the Boulogne agreement were adhered to. Mr Lloyd George afterwards said that as the result of the meeting he had a firm conviction that the Genoa Conference would be a great success.
