FRANCE AND GENOA.
STATEMENT BY M. POINCARE. (Received June 2nd, 8.40 p.mT) PARIS, June 1. M. Poincare, in the Chamber of Deputies, reviewed the Genoa Conference. He said France retained complete liberty of action at The Hague Conference. If America did not attend The Hague Conference it would only partially accomplish its work. Justifying French action to compel the Versailles Treaty to be respected, he said Mr Lloyd George did not deny the right of France to act alone; he simply pointed out the dangers of separate action. M. Poincare said he personally was determined to do everything to maintain close solidarity between the Allies, but could not sacrifice France's right to make others respect the Treaty. Amidst much applause, M- Poincare concluded: British and French soldiers are lying side by side in death. It would be treason, then, to forget the alliance.
