NOT FAVOURED
NEW FRENCH PROPOSAL ECONOMIC CONFERENCE AT GENEVA Received Mar 15, 5.5 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, May 14. It is learned in official circles that the French, proposal to establish an autonomous permanent economic organisation is not likely to succeed. The French searchingly canvassed the delegates, but are not assured of sufficient support to justify seeking the vote of the Conference. This is a serious blow to French aspirations, as the many resolutions they submitted to the various committees included a number of subjects outside the scope of the present Conference, which the French hoped would be referred to the suggested bureau to form a programme of work of what would be another costly and unwieldly organisation, armed with extensive powers •ikely to menace the free conduct of commerce and industry.
