There is much discussion in the lobbies on M. Lout-lieur’s attitude. H will he remembered that the Conference is being held at bis suggestion, made last Assembly. It is understood he desired the appointment as Rap-portner-Cleneral of the Conference, tie approached President Theunis to-da.v with the request, and backed up bis claim by a threat to withdraw from the Conference. According to stories ill official circles, President Theunis indicated M, Louelienr’s appointment would be unacceptable, and he would accept his resignation. Intermediaries however, put the matter light, saying that Loucheur will he nominated as Vice-President. The matter lias, however, left a rather strained feeling.
