MARKING TIME
TILL FRANCE COMES BACK
MEMORANDUM STILL THERE
(Kcceivod 19th February, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, 18th February.'
The Conference is now necessarily marking time pntil France is again officially represented, the defeat of the Tardieu Ministry compelling the abandonment of the'meetings in which she would otherwise have- participated, notably to-day's Anglo-Franco-Ameri-can parley. The British spokesman's view is that the events of the few days afford food for reflection and useful work can • still bo done because the French experts are still here and continue to function unofficially and keep abreast of what is going on though no conference decisions can be taken until Franco is once more delegationally represented. It is important to remember that despite the halt, tho ground is not actually lost because tho French memorandum■ is still officially beforo the Conference and is not affected by the fate, of the Ministry .which produced it. There can, of course, be no plenary session until France 'again is present in full power. It "remains for the other delegations ,to continue such activities as are possible hi the circumstances.
